You think its bad in your training. I did a full degree in Psychology. Wherein it was me and 29~ girls in each class, almost all of which adored Positive Psyche.
I loathe "unconditional positive regard" (that's how its taught in the multidiscipline as a foundational requirement) as a concept. I see its value in terms of helping someone open up and maintaining the relationship, but it should absolutely not be a 100% of the time thing.
But the people who love it and "benefit" the most from it are women with massive self confidence issues. Funnily enough, they make up the bulk of both the Psyche field as a whole and its clients. So its women telling women what they want to hear, making smiles and thinking that's having a tangible benefit on their life. Without ever asking "so when am I actually finished with therapy? when does it complete?" and instead thinking its a positive trait that they are in it for a lifetime.
And despite what many may think, most psychologists aren't in it for the money. This isn't a 4D chess scheme to keep them hooked and the money flowing. Most therapists don't make shit, unless they are in the super rich areas with rich clients, and are genuinely deluded on the "I'm helping people" train. They aren't really helping, but it makes them "feel good" and therefore it must be good.
The capitalistic ones are the psychiatrists. The guys with the pills and the marketing scheme, who definitely want your kid to have 3 diagnosis that all need treating.
The problem for me is that at the heart, there are guys doing good work and trying to pull us forward as a society. But as soon as their work leaves their hands, its twisted by these broken women trying to heal others while bleeding all over them.
Under that logic, we shouldn't be allowed guns because bad people might take the guns and use them for bad too even though the majority of people using them are doing so for virtuous means.
Pithy quotes about philosophy should be even more feared. For that terminate thoughts by letting someone else do the thinking for you divorced of any context from which they said it in the first place.

It's incompetent women deluding each other about what they are, all the way down.
