Is Therapy a scam?

>>510330842 (OP)
No, but there are bad therapists out there. It's been massively helpful for me

does therapy put a bunch of cash in my bank account?
does therapy put a hot bitch on my dick?
does therapy remove the jews and niggers from my country?
if not then it solves none of my problems and is a scam

a racket for the jews indeed

>pay some guy at least $200 an hour to pretend to be your friend
>he WILL report you to the police if you express anything dangerous, thus plunging you into the system, no you don't get any points for trying to sort it out and get better
>he WILL report you to your professional licensing organization if you have any brain problems, thus getting you fired, no you don't get any points for trying to resolve your mental problems

seems like a shit test to me, the people who really need it can't get it without consequences, so they avoid going

It helps reshape your mind to not be so defeatist and instead sending you on the way to fixing at least one of those things
>does therapy remove the jews and niggers from my country?
VIOLENT REVOLUTION is not the goal of therapy.

>>510331356
This.

>>510331362
>some guy
They're all brown shitlib academically rotted women

therapy is a poor stand-in for a friend you trust enough to express bad news to
it is proven to not help anyone recover from real trauma, but it makes people feel parasocially active and is soothing to narcissists
if you really want to make an emotional breakthrough, save your time and money and do mushrooms

>>510330842 (OP)
No, therapy is there to make you aware of your problems, not solve them for you. It’s up to the patient to take the precautions and steps necessary to improve.

>>510330842 (OP)
People need to talk to people.
The psychology industrial complex says we must diagnose you with something tho.

Therapy has been of enormous benefit to me.

Despite what 4chins says, it is not a friend simulator, or hasn't been for me anyway. My therapist always gives me concrete actionable strategies to change my thoughts and behaviours. It helps me become the person that I want to be in tangible ways. If I feel better about myself now, it's only because I am better.

You only get out what you put in though. It requires courage and vulnerability as well as focus and effort. All our knowledge is ourselves to know.

>>510330842 (OP)
In theory no. In practice most therapists don't actually know what they are doing, or are just doing it for a paycheck.

>>510330842 (OP)
Yes

>>510330842 (OP)
one session helped me
my work was gaslighting me
the media gaslights and demoralizes white guys
my family are assholes
I felt like a loser
I explained my situation to the therapist
she said it sounded like I was doing pretty well
I thought about it and she was right
never needed another session

Also, the difference between talking to a therapist and talking to a friend is that my therapist actually can tell me what to do to fix the problem and his advice actually works.

This makes sense because he went to university to learn how to do that whereas my friend is a store manager and barely knows how to sell razors.

>>510330842 (OP)
It does not have to be, but it often is

>>510330842 (OP)
It's like the sacrament of confession with a priest, but you take away anything useful and add a profit motive

Working a mental hospital.
Some kid comes in 1 day.
He says " oh I just have to get my shit together and be an adult huh?" Kid left the next day. Hes either dead or prospering. Either is fine.

>>510331362
>he WILL report you to the police if you express anything dangerous
anything short of an imminent attack on someone this is not true

>>510331524
"my life sucks, maybe if I pay an emotionally cold jewish woman 250$ to listen to me for 45 mins I will get better?" Anyone this stupid deserves it on some level. Anon is right, If you want actual progress go on a 2 week hiking trip and do 5g of mushrooms on the first night.

>>510331637
at least you now know how not to sell razors. thats real life experience you wont get from someone who gets their knowledge from institutions

>>510330842 (OP)
I’ve been to a few scammers. I had a horrible childhood so I’ve been going for about 25 years. There are good people too.

>>510330842 (OP)

Yes...you didint know that?
>notice flag
ahh...

>>510331703
Try examination of conscience if you want a prayer alternative.

>>510331938
including the globo-homo clip art for good measure. trifecta completed.

>>510331720
>Hes either dead or prospering. Either is fine.
Wow. You deserve money for that.

nah, but they often overstep bounds. they study you and you alone do not forget that their comments about other people are not educated, but arbitrary platitudes, if the insist on making comments about people who have not been in session with you, be wary.

>>510332215
Alot of people are legitly ignorant because no one was ever straight or real with them.
Told my patients that you gotta buss your own dishes in prison too

Look up the inventor of "psychotherapy", Sigmund Freud. He was a heavy cocaine addict who arbitrarily made up mental disorders as an excuse to extract "counceling fees" from rich widows, housewives and daughters, whom he told that all their life problems are actually rooted in sexual dissatisfaction. When he got bored of them or they got suspicious, he simply declared them "cured" and went on to the next gullible fucktoy. He never used any actual scientific methods in his "work". Actual medical scientists look down on him, because they all know very well what he was. But he has a fanatical following among half-educated housewives with more money than brains. And that's all he ever needed anyway.

When I was a kid my mom abused me and gave me mental issues. As an teenager, I convinced my mom to go and see a female therapist with me to resolve our issues. Sadly the doctor attempted to gaslight me into accepting the abuse and to stop blaming my mother for her actions. I rejected that and crashed out in the doctors office.

Because of my mother I had severe mental health and behavioral issues and was sent to a school with some of the worst niggers in upstate new york. It was my first time being around niggers in such large quantities. They targeted me for being the only white kid in school. My school counselor got upset when I told her I was being targeted by the black kids for being white. She gaslit me into distrusting my own feelings. Then when I told her she was wrong. She betrayed my confidence to the niggers who beat me into a hospitalization. She was a jewish bitch.

Later on I was seeing another therapist and he tried to gaslight me too, into accepting the abuse I received from the niggers. He refused to see me again, because I was being too racist. He said that he would only see me if I promised to work on my racism. I refused.

I joined the army. I got sent to the south, stationed at fort benning. Where I really learned to hate niggers. Niggers who have any amount of power over a white man will abuse that power and abuse the white person in question. Being around niggers only made my hate for them stronger. Being deployed to afghanistan and dealing with the taliban, was preferable to dealing with the niggers back home. Because atleast I could shoot a talib. But god forbid if you lay your hands on a nigger, even in self defense. It's an NJP for you, or a court martial if the white liberal traitors in JAG were feeling really spiteful. I saw a tranny therapist in the military for my PTSD. But I never told the tranny why I had ptsd. It wasn't from the taliban it was from niggers.

I distrust therapists.

If you're a man you go see a prostitute to clear your head.

Real men suffer alone, drink excessive amounts of alcohol and die young.

Seeing a jewish/female psychiatrist is a waste of money.
Also most therapy patients are women because they're gullible and naive and need someone of authority to tell them what to do lol.

fuck niggers

>>510331388
But it doesn't. All they do is ask loaded questions, in the hope that you're stupid and naive enough to mistake those for your own thought or even for facts. A "therapist" never gives any form of actually useful feedback or practicable advice, because the #1 rule of the "therapy" scam is to never do anything that anyone could plausibly hold the "therapist" responsible for.

If you want concrete solutions for concrete problems, get a coach. Therapists never provide solutions, they only waste your time and take your money. As long as they possibly can, before you see through the scam and stop paying them and they have to find a new victim.

>>510330842 (OP)
yes.
you need a psychoanalyst if you want to get any real benefit beyond what you can gain just googling and watching a few youtube videos. but psychoanalysis is out of fashion because it takes years to actually fix people, this is why modern psychotherapy does not try to fix people, it tries to strengthen their coping mechanisms so they can put on a stronger face and fit in with society despite being internally fucked. Its really tragic, imagine someone wandering around repeating positive affirmations and motivational slogans to themselves while constructing fake personalities to pretend to be. Thats what psychotherapy gets you.

>>510331578
Bullshit. Therapists belong to professional organizations and get randomly audited for how they practice. They have to have a supervisor.
If you get a therapist who doesn't seem interested or who doesn't belong to an association then they won't be practicing much longer, will they.

>>510333747

>>510333747
>psychoanalyst.
Maybe you mean psychologist? These people diagnose mental conditions, depression, ADHD, OCD...
Talk therapy definitely heals people, it's not about trying tricks or repeating affirmations. Talk therapy leads to an actual shift in a person's identity.

Therapist here. Honestly I sometimes I wonder about it myself. Especially for men. I got into this to help people, and I know I've made a difference to a few. But there are so many problems with the field. The bias against males is real. I've experienced it as a male therapist, and I've seen it in the way colleagues talk about clients. As a discipline, it is ideologically captured in exactly the way you'd expect, and the way therapy is conceptualized and conducted absolutely reflects it. I knew this going in, and I'm trying to be the exception. The idea of having a confidant with specialized psychological knowledge to help you solve your problems is a good one in principle. But therapy as it is currently practiced is in many ways... cucked. There are good therapists out there - especially older therapists who were trained before things got so ideologically extreme. Obviously I'm trying to do my part, and I believe there is a baby in the bathwater. But I have my own doubts as to whether it is a lost cause. I have no judgement for people who view it as a scam, especially men. It's a reputational hit the profession has well earned.

>>510330842 (OP)
It was invented as a cope by a Jew that wanted to fuck his own mother.

>>510334949
no, i mean a psychoanalyst where you spend years trying to actually dig into your psyche and figure out what is truly wrong with you that you have buried
All modern psychology is based around reinforcing the false self so you can 'function' within society. This just makes a stronger prison for your true self which is suffering.

>"dude just talk to this random stranger about your problems"
>"also he's gonna take everything you say the wrong way and assume you're crazy"
>"and any advice you get is gonna be shitty too"
>"don't solve your problems by getting support through friends or family, and don't heal yourself by being productive, exercise is bad for you too"
>"you NEED to take pills that don't solve any of your problems, please be addicted to our drugs, we swear it's the only way"
i'd rather work out or read a book or focus on something meaningful than waste time with mental health merchants

Yes therapy is a scam, if you don't want to change therapy wont do anything.
You can be fully aware of what you need to do to fix yourself, but if you cant be bothered talking wont do anything

>>510330842 (OP)
most are, I know a guy going to one for years and his mental health barely improved, if anything he’s gotten worse. The right therapist however is a life saver, they’re just a lot harder to find.

>>510331337
it accomplishes the first two if you're a therapist
maybe the third one too if you're good enough

>>510335196
Prayer (especially more the closer to a sacrament you get)
Exercise
Unironically parasite treatment since this is the mechanical stress causing many disorders

Sleep if you’re not getting it

are strong alternatives that might be enough

>>510330842 (OP)
ex-military reporting in here. Half the DSM can be mimicked with harassment and the other half can be induced. They don't teach this to civilian psychiatry.


An example is workplace mobbing and conditioning. That's from a playbook that seeped into the corporate world somehow.


Mental illness IS very real, but now the civilian facing side of is like the guy from Kung Pao who got taught how to fight wrong as a joke.

>>510330842 (OP)
Duh.
