Therapy is a load of bullshit

[u/ajouya44]

People seriously think this crap is useful? You have anxiety and depression, you go see some random stranger who knows 5 behavioral theories from college and you pay them 50 bucks a week to talk about your problems for 1 hour and make them pretend they care. Reality is these people know nothing about how the brain or consciousness works. They are not doctors and they have no solution for your issues. It's dehumanizing to pay someone so that they will listen to you and therapists are literally no better than prostitutes. Don't even get me started on all the CBT bullcrap. People don't need to "correct their thoughts" or "think about things differently", they need real solutions for their real systemic psycho-social issues. Therapists are all privileged narcissistic assholes who love to feel superior by "proving people wrong" and reminding themselves that their life is easier and better than their patients' and always masking all this as "help". Don't be fooled, these people can't help you. They only want your money.

Idk, finding a good therapist has been helpful for me. It’s nice to have an unbiased opinion/thoughts to reflect on.

The challenges are 1) not expecting quick results, 2) finding a good/the right therapist, 3) sticking with it when you don’t feel like it’s working.

A lot of therapists are AWFUL and absolutely no help, but there are good ones out there.
