I think that the idea of therapy is evil. Because 1) I am Human, not a set of stories, and not a "patient" who needs a cure.I am completely sovereign with a mind thats private. The boundaries I build around it are not symptoms or defenses, they are what lets me exist as an individual. My problem with therapy or how most people think of the mind is that it introduces the belief of MY internal reality being up for debate. if a therapist or stranger looks at me says "You're not x, you're y"(eg: You're not independent, you're avoidant) they take my own understanding of MY life and REPLACE it with a label that fits their textbook. This isnt really helping?
2) If I define myself as independent, then that is the truth of my existence. Someone else having authority over my feelings and claiming they have a more honest or rational view of MY life than I do is peak arrogance. They are completely guessing. This is called expertise but is basically just a couple educated guesses. You dont see this anywhere else: If a doctor guesses wrong about a physical ailment, they could create a scar, and if a therapist guesses wrong about who I am, they could decrease my stability.
3) Most things therapists call trauma are the very things that hold you together. Your pain is a signal and the ways you adapted it are there for a reason(imagine an incel who keeps trying to talk to people even though they openly mock him). I would much rather live with MY issues than to be part of someone elses solution. The second you let someone else define YOUR "root causes" or explain YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR to you, you give up your sovereignity and let them be the author of your identity.

I want to be able to look at MY thoughts and know they are MINE, nothing installed by a third party. MY identity is not a public project to WORK ON, it is mine. I want to define myself and wont give that up for "healing" .
