I only went because it was free with my work. The main benefit I found was that I could rant at someone who was paid to listen to me complain. Therapists want to try different approaches to help (CBT is the only one coming to mind). I didn’t find much value to that stuff but being able to vocalize my thoughts was helpful. Ranting and complaining is fun and it’s nice to have someone who is outside of the situation listen and help organize my thoughts.
What's the difference between ranting and complaining to a therapist vs to a friend/partner/family member? Or a stranger? I mean, we are trained listeners, so there might be something special there. Or trained listening could be bullshit too.
>organize my thoughts
When I'm in therapy, I feel like I'm getting all my thoughts out onto the table, or a workbench.
You brought it up so I have to ask, why is it former national socialist?
Re: the op, I think giving people tools to work out their problems is fine but the libtard brainwashers that are in their field to support their agendas are a problem particularly enabling body dysmorphia (trannies) but also I think a lot of people seek out therapy as they lack any intelligent friends or anyone remotely resembling a mentor. I recently discovered a lot of zoomers are scared of old people so it's no wonder they don't know shit, and so they seek therapists to teach them the hard learned life lessons they aren't learning from family or community members
>Why is it former national socialist?
I got sick of being so angry all the time.
>libtard brainwashers that are in their field to support their agendas
This is why I'm asking what you want in a therapist. We do have therapists that are pushing their agendas. Pushing our values onto clients goes directly against the ethics code, but therapists seem to make an exception if they have liberal ideas.

Bowling Alone again. Also, why are they scared of old people?
Could you talk like an actual human being and not like some corporate drone. Do all therapists have to sell their soul to the devil and as a result cannot understand what it is like to be an actual human because you're all a bunch of soulless golems
Yeah, sorry. I don't know why I'm speaking rigidly. I'm very anti-phony so I dunno why I'm coming off as an HR spokesperson right now.
