Is therapy overrated?
I have seen 3 therapists till now at different stages in my life. All 3 of them were so ineffective. Youtube motivational videos were better than them. Talking to friends helps better than them. Do they put minimum effort and just drag things after they get to know you have good insurance? Are therapists really skilled? Interestingly, once had a date with a guy, a practising psychiatrist and he turned out to be such a trash in terms of the discussion and statements he made. I wonder are most psychologists/psychiatrists/psychotherapists trash? #mentalhealth #depression #burnout
They're not trash, they're predators. Would it pay to fix the problem... not. Desperation attracts vultures. You'll do much better by exercising, playing sports etc. Alternatively, at least in India you'd go to a neurologist who can prescribe antidepressants if things are bad.
Find friends that actually listen. I notice a lot of people just talk without actively listening, always about themselves. Anytime you wanna talk about you they don't engage. Hanging out with people that genuinely care about you is important
95% of therapists are useless. However, trust me, there are real masters who can cure you and teach how you can cure yourself, instead of prescribing pills. I know it because I accidentally found one 20 years ago. I don’t know how a reliable way how to find such a master. Just try and see. You will know instantly if you have found him, in the 1st session.
That’s what op is doing. Paying a bad therapist to listen to her like men pay.
There are good doctors bad doctors good lawyers bad lawyers good therapists bad therapists outstanding life saving therapists. That question sounds like, I went on 3 dates, all turned out bad, is dating really effective?
Unlike dates, every therapist I went to specialised in their area. Masters, phd from oxford etc universities and had extensive experience. I expect better from them than random dates.
I see. I have found one good or average ones , one excellent one and one outstanding one. The best ones won’t be in the Eap. And anything cheaper than 200 is also not worth it.
It's a scam, it's hit or miss , mostly a miss
Think about who the average therapist is. They’re a narcissist that fked around and couldn’t get into med school. Therapy is truly a braindead cope in the modern age
THERAPISTS ARE USELESS IF YOU ARE NOT DUMB.
Read Abigail Shrier’s books. Finding a good therapist and using them correctly is hard
What you need are friends, not a therapist.
Needs are not always met. Friends are not always matured.
Therapist for women is equal to a h00ker for men. Needs are met but you are paying for it. So are the needs really being met?
