Or pandering and drugs. Help is the exception.
You can tell your therapist that you'd prefer to leave medication to a last resort whenever possible. Even in cases where medication is very helpful, there are other options.
That's fairly expensive for just pandering.
Where are you that therapists can prescribe? I thought only doctors of medicine/some pharmacists could.
The US. Psychiatrists can Rx. Psychologists cannot. But, they've always a psychiatrist in their back pocket who'll do whatever for a quick buck. If they label themselves "therapist" they're idiots who couldn't even hack a MA.
My experiences have clearly demonstrated that anyone accepting money will inhibit progress or have one forever dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Those that provide the best help never asked me for anything in return.
Same goes for education.
That’s fair tbh.
