I can see how therapy can be helpful for some people. But I find it to be a big scam from my own personal experience.
What incentive do they have to give you immediate and durable results? Why do most only take cash?
I did some ML work with an addiction psychiatrist at the peak of the opioid crisis. He said,”To pay my bills, I have to treat rich people.”
I find taking long walks and speaking candidly about how I’m feeling is always the most effective way to deal with tough emotions.
and people wonder why i call psychiatrists legal drug dealers - what incentive does a psychiatrist have to fix someone , when they could make 10x more money keeping that person dependant forever
You are assuming everyone has someone to take long walks with and speak their innermost vulnerable thoughts/feelings with. A therapist is a paid person to achieve this same outcome.
