Are therapists cringe? I heavily value the opinion of dysfunction strangers on this site

Get a load of this retard

I have never been but at the suggestion of everyone in my life I am going to one this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes and I will post this image when I tell you.

You just had a shitty therapist. I'm sorry she hurt you in a setting that is all about letting your guard down and asking for help. Seek out a male psychologist. I strongly think people need a counselor that is their own gender for them to truly understand you.

Therapists are all about meds. Psychologists and counselors are all about talking and learning strategies to cope.

I cant tell if this is a smart bait or if you are actually stupid thinking you got things figured out

Cringe. None of them are allowed to tell you the hard truth, they can’t tell fat people to lose weight. They can’t tell slobs to clean up. They have so many limits as to what they can that anyone with a morsel of intelligence would steer clear of that as an occupation. It’s an occupation that’s now gate kept by the left, it sucks because I wanted to get into psychology or medicine but you are only allowed to use the approved soi methods. We are no longer allowed to build strong and resilient men.
The best therapist you can have is a good friend group, failing that there are usually some solid mens group (forget the actual name) things at a lot of churches. Where guys can be guys.

Cringe?
No

You ever have those moments where you think:
>My problems aren't worth talking about
>Nobody would care
>It's kinda pathetic that i have these problems
>What the fuck is wrong with me
>Everyone else seems to get by just fine

A therapist is there to listen to you bitch about your normal problems
It's fairly cathartic
They also put a label on whatever your personal problems happen to be

Is it useful?
Kinda
It can be

Mine told me I'm a narcissist and that's helped me get over it
They also told me i have a fear of failure
Which was also helpful

Don't expect lifechanging revelations
It's more about having concrete 'expert-certified' specific names to give your issues so you can better address them more directly

A lot of the value comes from the fact that you face your problems head on
It's alright

I dont know if going to therapy actually helped me but i still miss talking to my therapist. She was the only person in my life that atleast pretended to care about my problems and interests

And like everyone here said

Get one your own gender
And get one that isn't a liberal

Listen user, listen closely. Modern psychology Is a scam and so are the therapists who adhere to it.
These people are not here to help you, they're here to make money by "solving" your problems as quickly as possible. Depressed? Pill
Didn't work? More pill
Autistic? Pill
Tranny thoughts? Scheduling for mutilation

I have NEVER in my life seen a person who has been helped by those so called therapists, all I've seen was pill addicts who had friend brains and still were depressed, It's an incredibly sad and pitiful sight

Talk to a priest about your issues, read the Bible and grow spiritually, finding Christ will save your life, believe me.
My friend was on several medication at once and had several suicide attempts, the moment he found faith he simply stopped taking them and he's now better than ever, nothing In his life changed besides this one crucial detail, find Christ user.

And disregard this retard

The therapy industrial complex is disgusting. They’re like chiropractors. They only want to make you feel better for the next 24 hours or so, forcing you to return every week until you die or realize they’re full of shit

I'm seeing one right now, he's really cheap so I see him weekly but he's a grad student so he knows jack shit. He doesn't really facilitate conversation and he basically just tells me "yeah that's valid you're allowed to feel that" or I'll stop talking for an uncomfortable 10 seconds just for him to ask a question about how I feel about what I said. I swear if my problems weren't so fucking embarrassing I'd just talk to a friend but even they've become self centered and don't listen to shit I'm talking about.

You could probably get in an Uber and have him drive you in circles while you tell him your problems. Having a Nigerian dude dressed like an out of work magician tell you you’re being a bitch will probably be more helpful and less expensive

Honestly I've had more interesting conversations about modern child rearing in degen los angeles with uber drivers than I think I'll have with this guy. I just wish it didn't cost triple what I'm paying now to talk to someone with some actual knowledge.

>The best therapist you can have is basically other people that will act like therapists but have the potential to fuck your life up even more
you might as well say Any Forums is the best place to get life advice

Therapy is really just a substitute for our degenerated sense of community and discarding of the elderly. Therapists don’t have anything to offer the average person with life experience doesn’t. Save medical-technical word salads they paid 80k to learn.

Same with the fitness industry. They make you think you NEED to workout just to live when all it does is make you feel good for the next 24 hours only for you to be back in the gym within the next day or 2.

Talk to Any Forums about it.

I also had a great idea for a website/app it’s called onlyfriends where losers like us get matched up with each other and we can just vent and talk and get advice. At first I’d personally be everyone’s friend so I know psychos aren’t there and than eventually people will be matched with people and I’d have like tiers and some people would be like pseudo therapists or councillors. The better friend you are the more friends you are allowed to have

My brother in law is a psychotherapist, he's a 41 year old loser and one of the most fucked up people I know. Like many therapists, he got his education at an unaccredited institution that is basically a pyramid scam, on top of tuition they must practice on the premises and pay the school for use of the facility.
TLDR be careful, many therapists/psychotherapists are more fucked than you and will not help you in any meaningful way. It's a racket

>Therapists don’t have anything to offer the average person with life experience doesn’t
You realize that a lot of people going to therapy also are on the verge of ending themselves? What kind of sane person would think they have the ability to save that person and want that kind of responsibility? Even family and friends put people into some kind of therapy when they are down a destructive path

>we can just vent and talk and get advice
>from other losers who can't seem to see other perspectives
the fact you cant even see the logical fallacy is so funny

therapists can't prescribe medication dumbass. Try learning something about a subject like psychiatry and psychology before you start spouting nonsense.
