Maintenance therapy is not in any way better than praying or journaling. There is merit in collecting your thoughts. Anyone who is not functionally retarded can profit from collecting their thoughts, seeing some pattern and just making connections. Now, that doesn't work on 70 IQ retards who spent decades drugged up or other NPC cretins, but whatever.
It's just sad that yet again, we took something that was for free and something you could do easily for yourself with minimal effort and made it into a business. I'm not trying to rant about capitalism or anything, I just find it funny how leftists prop up something like this.
Then again, they preach about self care, meanwhile they think actually being self-sufficient is white supremacy and sexism and heteronormative oppression.
Iirc back when it was a brand new field the psychs were saying exactly that. Lit. that it could be a means of providing the benefits that come with confession to a non-confessional (be it because Protestant or otherwise) population.
