I don’t trust them. Not at all. They are people just like you. Would you go to you with your problems? Be very careful, they want your money. I only say this because in my experience the therapist picks a side and helps that one, not you.

Trust your gut, avoid therapist, your friends are right.

Does the actual structure and protocol of their industry count as criteria against their qualifications?

200+ billion/year industry that’s never produced a single cure.

Or you could ask them how many genders there are, and if they believe the old DSM is correct about it being gender disphoria, or the new one that tells them to prescribe blockers and tranny drugs.

Ask them if they’ve ever committed anyone, or deemed someone unfit to care for themselves, and given away their power of attorney.
Or if you feel bold, ask them if they think white supremacy is a mental disorder of some kind?

They're not qualified. Just handle them with kid gloves, and don't say anything to trigger them.

I see their title as "The Rapist". They'll want you to tell them all the bad shit in your life that's makes you sad, and then talk about it over and over. A 'cured patient' is a lost customer.

The only good effects I've ever seen any therapist have is for women because they feel relief by getting to talk about themselves for an hour. But it's like a subscription, it doesn't fix their life it's just temporary stress relief.

For men therapists seem unfulfilling because we go in expecting to identify and solve the problems in our life and that's not what a therapist does. You can literally talk about something that any reasonable person would stop you and tell you you're being stupid or about to fuck up your life and a therapist will often just listen intently and nod.

If you're a woman just figure out if you feel good talking to them. If you're a man maybe spend more time thinking through your own problems and what you should do about them.
