[quote=Anonymous]I read this forum quite often. To be honest, I feel like I am one few males who does so. I come here out of morbid curiosity and a desire to try to avoid the pitfalls that some of you folks have experienced or, worse, had thrust upon you.
I am by no means a perfect dad and I realize it and rely on my wife to help me when I feel like maybe I am being too lenient or severe and she does the same with me. 
We, thankfully, don't seem to have the experiences some of you have had; we both have parents who have their faults but we are close to. Of course, it is possible that our kids think we are crappy parents, but if they do we are unaware of it now. They seem to like us! 
My question is does therapy REALLY help people? 
I don't mean this to be condescending, but I just don't see how simply talking to someone can help much, especially if you don't know if the person you are speaking too isn't conducting their own trainwreck. 
I know a lot of people who call themselves "life coaches" and they are all a mess. It seems like they can't coach their own lives and have business coaching anyone else's.
I know licensed therapists are different and some have medical degrees, but I just don't get it. The human race progressed before therapists, and at the end of the day I guess that whatever happens to a person it is ultimately their decision what to do about it. 
I would love to hear how therapy had positively impacted people. I would like to have more faith in it. Thanks [/quote]
