>>152265448I have, and I have a lot to say about therapy. The big untold thing is that therapists and psychologists don't really want to deal with -actual- mentally ill people. People with mental illness flout appointments, are unreliable, will stop going after a few weeks, and miss payments...Because they're mentally unstable duh. They get better retention rates on sociopaths that keep one foot in the system to utilize for employment disputes/getting lighter prison sentences, bored suburban housewives that just need a friend, and cluster B enby munchausen young women that want to be a semxy bushi snowflake. They get such good retention rates and reliable business with these people that they can forgo the actual sick cunts.
So every few years the waiting list ticks over and I go to therapy (it takes like 18 months now), or they see me while I'm institutionalized. I waffle on about my problems but we eventually start talking about whatever else, like the AIDs crisis and how AIDs induced dementia comes about, and get sidetracked. After a week or two I get in a good mood and I start thinking "man, I need to start making money and stop taking time off work", and we're talking about bullshit anyway because this cunt is just sitting there blankly waiting for me to do all the work. So I go "yeah I'm good, thanks for your help" and get back to work. Then it takes another 18 months
They -literally- sit there blankly and just expect you to express your deepest insecurities in a stream of consciousness...Who the fuck has the self awareness for that? I really think that most fucked up people are incapable of expressing what's wrong with them, like the bullied kid at school won't be able to admit to what's happening out of shame, so he'll just take the psychologist down unrelated paths.
Because there's an artificial scarcity, and because everyone sucks off therapy like it's a magical cure and they can't lose their job. They just coast by with little effort.
