The thing is, this gives therapists a level of power that they don't actually wield.
Its probably a good 50/50 if the Leftist in question even hears the words their therapist says. They just want to shield of "I'm going to therapy" to justify themselves for what they want to do already.
BetterHelp runs off that business model entirely. Its how they bounce back from every controversy with enough money to run 12000 ads on every show and somehow everybody is seeing one. Because its a cheap fakery meant to enable you into stopping holding yourself back. Most of the time, from being a worse person.
Like, there is no doubt a lot of manipulative and dangerous therapists. But I don't think the actual person holds as much power as people around here think. Its merely the trappings and ideas of therapy that have been rendered so holy, rather than its actual process.
That and the drugs. The drugs are probably the biggest evil coming from the therapists.
That's an excellent point. Regardless of how effective one thinks therapy is, we all know that leftists don't work on themselves, they just pretend to for moral superiority that they can lord over others. They also tell others to go to therapy to shut down discussions about the problems that they create for groups they hate.
I have encountered this and the absolutely cunty condescension is enraging.
