There are lots of good reasons to not like the idea of therapy. I’m a therapist, but I’m with you, there.
*Generally, therapy doesn’t work for marriages
*Generally, it becomes a he said/she said blame fest that goes no-where
*Generally, frustrated therapists end up resorting to really bad moves like telling the couple its hopeless so they should divorce before they’ve even been seen for a second time.
I mean, if the therapist is so smart and can “assess” so quickly that the problem is not solvable, what do they want – just to take the easy cases who could figure out what to do by reading Dear Abby?
*Generally, the inept therapist finds a way to feel better about THEIR failure by sticking a label on people. (Reply in the comments “label” if you want the link to the live I did called “You’re Not Sick; You’re Not Crazy”)
It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear the stories.
Someone told me the therapist told her to have an affair. Can you believe this? To fix a marriage? Whaaaa?
I don’t work that way.
I work the OPPOSITE of that way.
But mind you, I AM a therapist. Yes, with a Ph.D. Y’know what that means?
It means I understand people. And…
“Therapy” means “healing.” And that’s what I do. 100%. Pain-free, I might add. I make sure of that.
