[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread just proves that people don't generally come looking for true information, much less different opinions, so much as they come looking to validate their own point of view.

If you think therapy is a good and useful thing, then it probably will be helpful to you. If you think it's "anti-science hokey" or something you have zero need of, then it likely won't be of value.

Pretty much a self-perpetuating discussion here and real life decision making.

I feel for your wife OP.[/quote]

I came here to discuss why some people are so attached to the idea that we all have some deep unaddressed trauma that needs to be talked out, and lots of people have made thoughtful suggestions for ways that one can better themself that don't involve all that, and a small number of people who seem totally in thrall to the idea of paying a therapist to talk about unhappy things have reacted very poorly.[/quote]

A lot of people have also said therapy worked for them but you can and should do what works for you. You’re putting all “therapy was good for me” posters into the same basket.[/quote]

No, I said a small number of people who seem totally in thrall to the idea of paying a therapist to talk about unhappy things have reacted very poorly.

I've got no issue with people who said, "Therapy worked for me, but maybe it's not for you... have you considered x, y or z?"

It's the people who insisted I was abusing my children because I didn't want to pay someone to talk about my dad, who I already know all about, that I have an issue with.[/quote]
