Its a business they need to pay the bills. Im sure some of them care but if you think about it there is nothing you can do once life hits bottom but try not to drown.
Apparently, there’s this odd little aspect to therapy that I find intriguing – it is supposed to proceed at the direction of the patient. That’s what I found out in my situation after 5 months of therapy recently. I was supposed to be in charge of helping her fix me.
Ok.
So, following this logic, when my truck breaks down, I will take it to the mechanic and talk him through the repairs.
Yes I was aware of how much of a waste therapy was before my first session. My first session was in 8th grade when me and my friend were messing around with blades although I did have my life plan figured out by 8thgrade (I was going to blow out my brain with a shotgun the day I turned 18.I had not told anyone.) The counselor was a blonde sl*ttish bimbo. This therapist cannot fix your life, she is just working for an easy paycheck so she doesn’t have to be on welfare. We know these types of jobs are all essentially worthless yet although because some woman all they can do is “therapy.” Anyhow, personally I would avoid therapy at any cost it is very self-deprecating and I think it’s fact that if youve been forced into therapy, pills, hospitals then you are about 50%more likely than someone who hasn’t to kill yourself
Therapy doesn’t really address the main causes of depression but more or less just the symptoms. This is why I don’t think it helps. Therapists cannot fix your life or fix what is needed in you, only guide you to “think” differently and “act” differently or whatever that means. Psychiatrists are even worse because all they do is prescribe medicines but don’t tackle the issue.
There are definitely low effectiveness therapists. I don’t think it’s a complete representation of the profession that there are bad ones. Someone mentioned mechanics, I once had a mechanic get my car in a wreck which required more repairs than it originally went in for. Lucky insurance dispute ended up paying for it.
The point is that cars still need to be repaired and I don’t always have time to do it, I can’t abandon mechanics.
Fixing a human brain is like fixing a computer. All the diagnostic readouts require interacting with the human. If the OS (personality) is so corrupt that it won’t run the repair programs the therapist has to back analyze and figure out a fix. He’s got to install motivation. It’s worse than computer repair because a bad hard drive can’t be repaired, a faulty OS can’t be reinstalled.
It’s a rough job, which burns out people more than stick with it. It can fix things though, if only temporarily. I pulled up enough to complete 3.5 semesters of school because of some very talented therapists and me being motivated to do the work. I’m still a mess, but enough put together to go do my stuff.
Then again everything is to some extent BS. Accepting that is the project I’m struggling with.

is it true… therapists are just out to get $$$$ and don’t help the actual problem

Agreed. Therapy never did anything for me but add to my debt.
Imagine if you go to a doctor for a broken arm and 10 years later you still have a broken arm. But somehow they keep suckering us.
