If I go too deep into this sesh I'm going to get angry fast but I'm strongly of the opinion that therapy is pretty much useless and should be entirely replaced with support groups. Its far more useful to have connections and comradery than to pay some asshole with a jesus complex a fuckton of money. Even if it were free its a rip off, people you make friends with at support can look out for you and pick you up when you're down, a therapist will never do that.
Almost everything trauma related requires significant community and medical intervention, just one person vibing with you for fat stacks isn't going to do it
Sorry but I disagree. When I had group therapy all I did was compare myself to others and thought my problems "weren't as serious" (they definitely were) as others; I didn't get the kind of attention I needed. Also, other random people aren't usually equipped with the tools necessary to be able to help people process their trauma. Under capitalism there are some things that therapists simply won't be able to solve, but that doesn't mean it's useless.
