[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This tracks. Most people would be better served spending the time exercising, massage or volunteering.

The main issue I see is that talking to a therapist increases dopamine regarding a problem, and makes your brain focus on it even more to get that hit. [/quote]
Who are you to decide what most people should do?

Someone who has been sexually assaulted, lost a spouse or child, or been given a difficult diagnosis may already be doing some of the activities you mentioned.

It’s not an either/or proposition, and given the lack of empathy being expressed by many posters, it’s understandable why the use of therapy is rising.

Your post reaffirms the person who said that therapy is replacing religion.  Nothing a therapist says can make you feel better about a death or diagnosis.  There are emotions you need to feel and endure before you feel better.  They can point this out, but you are the one who must do it (and you can’t really control it).  I guess sexual abuse could be one place where it might be helpful, but again it is mostly an outsider repeating that it wasn’t your fault.[/quote]

That’s…not how therapy works at all.[/quote]
