Is it?
I had a traumatic and abusive upbringing. With the help of a psychiatric therapist, I was able to understand what happened to me, and I now recognize manipulation very easily.
As an adult, I was in therapy for 12 years, unwinding what I went through. Peeling layers off. Guilt and shame for all the wrong reasons. I thought everything was my fault, because that’s what I was told day in and day out, for longer than I care to say.
I got better.
So to you, that’s a scam.
Cool.
Not really. If you haven’t been there, then you don’t know WTH you’re talking about.
For some people, like myself, therapy gave me a chance to live a better life.
Don’t be so cocky.
It sounds as though you found one of the actual providers who could help.
