Therapy is utterly fake and gay and at this point I'm skeptical about the concept of "mental health" entirely. After all your brain is a physical organ and if that isn't working right that is a "health" problem, no need to pretend the mind is a separate entity from the body.
Men need the gym, the woods, the mats, the shop, the church - but mostly to get the hell away from women.
How does it deal with genetic abnormalities though? If you're introverted, 50% genetic, no amount of therapy is going to make you extroverted. Same with lifting weights at the gym, it won't make you an extrovert either.
I don't think being introverted is something you need to 'cure', as long as it is not detrimentally impacting your life. I only really have one friend my own age IRL, and we don't do an awful lot together, but I get enough socialisation through work and church to where I don't feel like I'm being devoured by my own thoughts every day (like I used to). I feel like I have enough of a connection with the world.
You find a level of social interaction that suits you, and as long as you can still hold a decent conversation and interact with society in a sensible manner, I don't think you need to push yourself to be a people person. Heck, that might even do more damage than good.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy has statistically-significant results.
Exposure therapy cures phobias.
Not all of the discipline is qwack, but ''let's lay down and talk about our fee-feels'' feminine ''therapy'', that's a scam.
