   This is your periodic reminder that therapists are all evil, and that you should never see one.
   
   They are financially and emotionally invested in convincing you to troon out, separate from your partners, commit self harm/suicide, and take poisonous pharmaceuticals.
   
   They do not have any investment in improving your life.
   
   Avoid them as much as is reasonably possible, even in your personal life.

     @usagi @lina
     
     I did not state this in this thread - it's common knowledge among friends, so I felt no need to state it - the last time I willingly went to a therapist, I was encouraged to commit suicide. As someone who was in a vulnerable position, I eventually made an attempt on my life due to this. I was forced into a psych ward and poisoned with SSRIs, as they insisted that such events do not happen.
     
     If there were good therapists, such things would simply not happen. In my personal life, I only hear negative stories about the behavior of therapists: I do not encounter people who claim to be better because of them, and I interact with people who have similar stories. It is clear from my perspective that the death of every therapist would be a boon to our country.
     
     To carry out your analogy: if surgeons operated on broken arms by shooting the patient, then you would not trust surgeons! Similarly, we should not deliver mentally ill people to psychotherapists or psychiatrists, as they behave in similar fashions.

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @lina @usagi My experiences with therapy and psychiatric drugs are similar, but I'm hesitant to make my presence here about that.
     
     Instead, here's a cat girl getting her head pat.

     Seriously?
     
     Sure, the monetary incentives are against helping the patient, as in all medicine. :ablobdizzy:
     
     Some therapists are great, some do the job, and some are terrible. I do not have the numbers so I don't know how much of each.
     
     However, if your bone is broken you go see a surgeon, it does not right itself.
     
     If your mind is broken you got see a therapist or a psychiatrist, it does not right itself. :abunhd:

     @naneko @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @usagi yea but like, man, that's like the sketchiest thing ever, paying someone to fucking talk to you and prescribe you antidepressants, at least a surgeon like can fix your broken bones or patch up a hurting organ, a psycho rapist though just mindfucks you and then prescribes you something that makes you even more susceptible to mindfuck

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating@lab.nyanide.com @lina@eientei.org "If there were good therapists, such things would simply not happen."
     
     That's an obvious fallacy. That you encountered a bad therapist only proves existence of bad therapists, and nothing about existence of good therapists. At least some anecdotal evidence of existence of good therapists exists.
     
     Accidents and malpractice exists in all fields of medicine.
     
     There is, unfortunately, a substantial difference in the view of general public on different medical fields.
     
     For example, it is considered normal that one's bone may become broken, and may need the help of a surgeon. Consequently, people are generally considering the possibility of going to one. That makes evaluating performance of surgical wards, and uprooting malpractice part of public debate.
     
     In spite of wealth of evidence to the contrary there is a widely held opinion that going to a psychiatric ward is something that 'can't happen to a decent person'. People are about as enamored with thinking about psychiatric ward as they are with thinking about death. With that many institutions evade scrutiny, and institutions known for malpractice persist in many places.
     
     When in medical emergency reviewing performance of medical institutions that might potentially provide relevant care is not something people want or can do.
     
     Unfortunately, past performance of some institutions certainly warrants exactly that. :ablobcatcry:

     @usagi @lina >That's an obvious fallacy. That you encountered a bad therapist only proves existence of bad therapists...
     
     As an iron-clad argument, that's right: there are holes in my argument, which I was aware of and did not bother to patch because it would take some time.
     
     The more detailed argument follows:
     
     As you noted, there are anecdotes of "good" therapists and normal therapists.
     
     - Normal therapists (such as the one I encountered) encourage things such as self mutilation and suicide. It is clear that encouraging someone to see such a person is evil.
     
     - "Good" therapists (those who exist to me only in anecdotes of anecdotes) are said to provide effective treatment to those who are ailing. I argue that these people do not have any sincere desire to cure patients, and thus should not be meaningfully called "good."
     
     -- The existence of such people provides legitimacy to a practice which is overwhelmingly harmful, thus encouraging people to see normal therapists. Given such an evil, if such people wished to stop providing legitimacy to such an evil system, there are two paths: one is to reform the system, and one is to abandon it.
     
     --- If they are practicing, they obviously have not abandoned the system. If they are not practicing, then they aren't a therapist. Therefore, a good therapist must seek to reform their evil system.
     
     -- However, no efforts are made to reform this system: else, the types of things that happen to me would be abnormal enough to warrant punishment (something that does not happen). These things not being investigated suggests no attempt to reform the practice of therapy: we must conclude that these "good" therapists do not work to fix their system, and that their effect on society is primarily to encourage people to seek normal therapists (those who encourage self harm and suicide).

     Imagine going to someone credentialed by the state for help. We used to find people who lived like we wanted to and inquired of them. Now we send people to those who live questionable lives. SMFH.
