paying money for someone to listen to you is jacked up, they don't really do anything

Therapy has helped me at least in some ways, and I know others who have had their lives changed by therapy. I resisted going back for many years because I had such bad experiences when I was younger, but obviously it does work for many people and for me it was an interpersonal issue, not an issue with THERAPY

for me its also been a vehicle for me to learn how to trust others because of all that happened to me, i'm still not able to trust but no person should have to deal with my bullshit insecurity, my therapist deals with it so i can work through it and eventually have a real trusting relationship with others. so yeah in a way it's paying someone to just listen to you but there's more to it than that and for some people it's not that at all, for example in CBT no one really knows me, probably no one really knows you either trots and that's sad and shitty for us, other people don't live that way |

you should be able to go down to your local gaia temple and commune with the eco-priest about your struggle and then holistically cleansed with various herbal & massage therapy techniques

some of them do, most of them do not. they are being paid for their time because they have to live like everyone else. that's not taking advantage of people. i know you're just being a contrarian but you know how I was before. therapy is a big reason why i've improved

i mean for one example, whenever i was around girls say 5-15 i would dissociate and get flashbacks to shitty violent child porn i used to be forced to watch plus when i lived with that guy i used to try and be one step ahead of who he would try to prey on so that i could stop it, so i was hyper-aroused all the time around girls. now i mostly can deal with them and even interact. we directly addressed this shit in therapy and worked through my anxiety. this used to happen with teenage coworkers or any time i was around girls for more than a passing amount of time, for example when i was in the waiting room this happened once in a while and we were able to use it to work on my issues
exactly how else would someone work on something like that |

is intellectual labor not labor?
my dude anyway, I see him as a combo teacher/life coach/professional sounding board. He has really really helped me understand my own thoughts and behaviors in ways I previously did not have the perspective to consider. also the government is paying him to sit there in my case, thanks Obama |

i really struggle to justify therapists as intellectual labor that's worth the amount of money they charge

also I know it sounds very trite, but in my case the success of therapy was very largely based on me being ready (read:desperate enough) to seriously try it. I was at the point where I would have tried anything to not be in literal constant psychological agony

even when i had insurance i paid full price for psych care because they never will file it for you even though they are working at 270 an hour, and i just figured it would never get paid because of excuses and the ACA is the only reason they're forced to cover it now

if a therapist has 25 sessions a week and gets 100/hr (which is a bit optimistic), that's 2500 a week = 10,000 a month. that's 120,000 a year. minus taxes, rent, a biller, malpractice insurance, having to pay for continuing education. and Master's clinicians will never get $100/hr, this is as an established PhD and remember they went to college for 5-8 years after undergraduate. even if you shove in 32 hours, that's 3200 = 12800 a month x 12 = 153,600. they might end up with 100k max. that's a lot of money but that's max after probably 20 years as a private practice therapist. i don't think it's unreasonable really. |

ok but how is that different from any other kind of doctor?
if you had to go see an md every week how much would that be costing you without insurance |

my therapist charges 150/hr, but only because she get's reimbursed at about 70%. and she does sliding scale for those without insurance. for a while i didn't pay my copay. she's a phd psychologist with 35 years experience
