[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read all 7 pages but it should be absolutely fine to tell your wife that you appreciate her perspective but you’re happy with things and aren’t interested in therapy.

There are people who enjoy therapy and feel it helps them improve themselves. They don’t have any serious psychological problems but still feel they get things out of therapy. These types can be pushy that everyone should do therapy. It’s no different than someone going gluten, sugar, dairy free and feeling better. They often think everyone else should give up those things too!

As a parent with a kid who has serious psychiatric needs, it does really piss me off that so many therapists cater to the easy worried well or just improve myself like I’m going to a personal trainer types. I was quite surprised when trying to find a psychologist for her. Many were taking patients, happy when they though the 50 year old woman might be their easy patient and then suddenly when they learned it would be my 18 year old anxiety, adhd, depressed kid were no longer taking patients. It’s way easier to take the money of the worried well. [/quote]
