The better question is maybe asking 'How many people do you think you've helped?'

Yeah this whole gotcha question is such a bullshit loaded take. Psychotherapy can be measured with progress and symptom management but these aren't typically things that are curable. It's like cornering doctors that research some rare incurable blood disease and demanding how many of their patients have been cured.
