Maybe, but psychics are cheaper. Only $3.99 a minute!

How many have been robbed blind by Gypsy fortune tellers? And lots quicker than a shrink will.

I dunno. I think psychics are probably cheaper per session.

Both give you information to get you hooked and coming back for more. I encountered one child psychologist who was downright evil. Not kidding at all.

No. Therapy is NOT a racket. As someone with bipolar disorder I have seen counselors for almost twenty years now. So far I have been very blessed to have had some exceptionally good ones. I wouldn't be in the place now, having found ways to work around my condition, had it not been for therapy.

What MUST be understood however, is that for therapy to be effective at all the person in therapy HAS to be willing to WORK toward his or her recovery. And that's where so many go wrong. They expect to flit into a therapist's office for one hour every week or month and talk and then leave until the time for the next appointment. It's not supposed to go like that. I would say that of the client/therapist relationship, 1/4th of the work is the therapist's and the remaining 3/4ths is the responsibility of the client, if not much more so. Otherwise it's just expensive conversation.

The people in this article are obviously individuals who aren't interested in working toward their own mental health. They've been expecting a counselor to tell them magic words that make all the badness go away. And that's never going to work.

My sister, in her seventies, attended a gym and had a personal trainer. One day I went with her. The trainer was an amazing specimen of a man. He looked into her eyes as she talked, and talked, and talked. She did very little weightlifting and I realized the trainer was better than a therapist and one heck of a lot cheaper. Definitely a racket. But what the heck...

You know, I am not sure what is worse, but I am going to say therapists. They parade around as helpful, yet have a horrible track record of helping people. And at least psychics are not affiliated with the APA which now allows all kinds of harmful degeneracy, leftist politics, even to the point of saying that masculinity in itself is a disorder.
