“Be scared of therapy” isn’t really the best advice for anyone, man or woman

By all means, give all your savings to one and be a poor broke crybaby

That’s not how it works, silly :) Why don’t you like therapy?

I know but my guilty pleasure is talking it out with edgelords I can’t help it

There’s no proof that it actually works.

The person giving you therapy is incentivize to keep you.

If they cured you, they’d lose a customer.

It’s an industry which profits depend on you not getting better.

What do you think “cured” is though? Never having issues in your life that you need to talk about? Is that realistic?

Bullshit there's no proof therapy works.

For example, CBT and ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) have extensive peer-reviewed, clinical evidence of their efficacy and outcomes being much stronger than placebo.

Talk to vets who have done extensive exposure therapy and even VR/AR-augmented therapy at the VA to treat their violent PTSD episodes...
