Therapy is showing you how to work through your shit, after identifying what your shit is.
Tell that to all the therapists who think being a man is the source of my shit.
Like people, therapists come in a variety of quality levels. Be selective.
Maybe it can be, but I would agree with all the others here who say it was profoundly useless to them.
I’ve been to a few. None really helped in any way, and two actively made the situation worse.
The fact that others, from other parts of the world, say the same, suggests a pattern, here, whatever the “theoretical” benefits of the idea…
The pattern is there are a lot of therapists out there who suck at whatever type of therapy they tout, and out of those with skills they still need to be compatible with you. Finding the right therapist is a process in itself.
