Do you think therapists are legit?

[Doji]

I think they're kind of like the politicians of the mental wellbeing sphere. Personally, I would never see a therapist and think they'll be any useful, or that they can offer some help someone else can't.

Edit: Also, you shouldn't trust someone whose profession becomes "the rapist" if you add one space.

They are as legit as lawyers are

It's even worse when you see "Psycho the rapist."

Some of them are good. A lot of them aren't. Many people go into the field for the same reason they'd go into something like nursing or childcare or social work, and inevitably burn out in the same way. Ultimately, they aren't going to fix any of your problems. The most they could ever do is work with you to identify what those problems are and what you can do to fix them. Outside of maybe some specific issues and treatments like exposure therapy. But usual talk therapy is just that: talk.

therapy is grift.
i'm not even religious, but i really think that you will unironically get better results for your mental health from going to some church, getting in the confessional, and talking to the priest there about whatever bothers you at the moment. and it's cheaper as well.

Some people are like why do you like going to confession. This is legitimately why. I can just talk about whatever is bothering me and get some advice, absolution, and on my way.

all therapists are fucking cunts and weirdos with some sort of complex.

What you need is a proper analrapist. My DMs are open for commission.

Therapy is a scam pushed on the goyim by the Jews.

Never go to a therapist. Most of them are nutjobs.

Some “therapists” are legit. Like Mr. Myagi said, most are not. There are also different types of providers who can practice therapy. Psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed mental health counselors and social workers, etc. Don’t go to a psychiatrist if you need “talk” therapy, they are mainly there if you need to be prescribed medication, although some psychologists can also prescribe meds. I had a psychologist, who was a PhD (PsyD) with a specialty in neuropsych. She knew about how brains worked on a biological level, and had a lot of hands on experience working with different populations in the clinical setting. She helped me tremendously, and I also learned a lot of tangentially related things through our conversations. She warned me to stay away from anyone who is not a Psychologist if you actually have a complex mental health issue that you need help with. LMHC/LMFTs and social workers can be okay if you just need someone to talk to, but they usually just complete a course for a certificate, so they will not be equipped if you have issues with something like moderate to severe depression or anxiety, or ADHD for example.

 

[OrionBalls]

It's like any other profession. Some are good, some are truly great, and most are just getting by.

 

[Shitty User Stole a Good Name]

Therapy is a Jewish lie lol
They sent me to therapy as a child and tried putting me on adderall. My mom said no.
It’s a big scam. Mental issues can only be conquered through prayer and fasting through the Holy Spirit

 

[Car Won't Crank]

Most are phonies who have problems of their own. I'm sure there are a few legit ones out there. It's a profession that's very loosey goosey emotion driven so I would think it leaves a lot of room for half assed therapists to emerge and no repercussions for not doing what they advertise. It's not like being a pilot where lack of skill will result in an inevitable crash or accident.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

As an actual expert in this field, no. They are not. If you are a therapist, your time in college was wasted. Your money was wasted. You help no one. At most you drug retards so they don't become Lolcows. They're honestly the antithesis of what KF wants. So no, Therapy is Fake and Gay.

 

[HyperboreanRightsActivist]

I don't need a therapist to tell me that I can't be fixed and just need to work on myself until I die. Shit buddy, I could've figured that out on my own without having to fork over $250

 

[Osama Bin Laden]

sounds like people who are anti-therapist need a therapist

therapist more like THE RAPIST

[SpergioLeonne]

Therapy is helpful for people who need therapy. It’s kind of ruined, though, when the whole thing stagnates and the therapist is just taking money from a serendipity addict with an insurmountable tolerance

Exposure therapy is the easiest concept to apply in your life just do shit that makes you uncomfortable retard
