Psychological therapy is fine and good. Especially the Stoic-flavoured stuff.
Most therapists are not therapists. At best they're incompetent, worse than a rando at the bar. Usually they're abusive cluster Bs, who will deliberately parasitize their so-called patients. Siskind is a cluster B, for example. Borderline, I think.
Consequently you either have to roll the dice repeatedly to find a decent therapist, or simply admit it's easier to do it yourself.
Therapy clients are 72%+ women, it's just anxious women who in the past would have troubled the parish priest or had some sense slapped into them (probable they just need a non-feminised man to make them feel safe).
ReplyDeleteIn 1/3 cases therapy does nothing, 1/3 cases therapy helps, 1/3 it harms—”first do no harm”, don't do it on that basis. It’s all based on Freudianism—another pseudoscience like its contemporary, Marxism.
You can't think clearly about it because your mother was a therapist, just like mine.
