Therapy only helps if you don't have problems

[FinnCel]

If it is only in your mind, therapy will likely help.
But therapy will never help if you have actual problems.

If you are being held hostage by ISIS, you can talk about your problem and even take antidepressants to make you feel better, BUT you are still being held hostage by ISIS.

Therapy will never help incels because it will not fix our actual problems (being ugly, being autistic, etc)

Therapy is a cope.Looksmaxing isn’t so spend that money on changing your outer self rather than your inner self

I agree and was just thinking about this the other day. Therapy only “works” for people without major problems. Specially it works best for highly functioning high IQ people who just want to organize their thoughts and verbalize to an attentive professional.

I think therapy could be useful if it was performed way differently. I remember taking a psych class once where there were a lot of people who took it who wanted to be therapists so the professor had a section on what an "ideal therapist" should act like and it was a complete joke. He basically said that therapists shouldn't give any advice or feedback and that you should basically just sit back and listen to what the patient said. This pretty much matched up with every therapist I've ever been to so I 100% believe that this idea of therapy is super common (it also helps that it's the easiest one to do). I remember saying/thinking so many things in the past where it would have been beneficial for someone to talk to me about it but instead the therapist would just sit there and go like "hmmm...interesting". It was basically like talking to a fucking brick wall (or spam poster on .co who only responds with short low IQ shit lol). I imagine meeting with someone to get honest advice on how to live your life/deal with random shit would be beneficial to some people. But instead we get some lazy retard who rakes in money by just sitting there and responding like a chatbot (and unironically thinks this service should be hundreds of dollars).

I am high rn so I am probably explaining it bad ngl

>attentive
>therapist
that describes like half of them, if even. I've met so many that barely put in any effort into learning about their patients.
