That would require competence on the part of the therapist. As someone who did most of a decade of schooling/training in the field I can promise you none of them are that smart or devious. Marriage counselors are only capable of it because the other woman is there to lend her brain to the sisterhood.

In seriousness, 90% of them are "ah-ha!" therapists. Their entire thing is to get you to have a "discovery" moment that unravels all your problems from there. In women this is easy, she just discovers someone abused her and boom done she is validated. For men it doesn't so they just keep getting worn down by the attempting until they a mountain is made from a molehill.

Also "Man Therapy" as a specialized field is one of the most legit things they ever produced. Just you and another guy going out to do an activity they specialize in (lifting, fishing, camping, etc.) and talking while doing it. So you know, a way guys can actually improve their mental state by feeling productive.

But it gets no talk because it undermines basically the entire rest of the field, so it remains this little nugget of wisdom you have to know about it to seek it out.
