It's not so much that I'm anti-therapy as I am critical of the psychiatric industry as a whole, but that includes the therapists.
My first therapist was the worst. She told me my online friends weren't real and to get over my severe social anxiety was to just "smile big" at random people and had me practice it with her. She treated me like a baby.
I dropped her after a month and found a new therapist I had for a couple of years and she was the greatest, I really loved her. She understood my issues and tried her best to help me, but I moved and couldn't see her anymore and as far as I know, I can't have her back for some reason. After trying (and failing) to get a therapist again a couple of years ago (I wanted in person visits but lock-down made that impossible and I kept missing my calls from the therapist they assigned me so she fired me as a client).
So I tried a counselor recently, one of the only ones still available, and he seemed to be trying to call my bluff as if I didn't actually have any issues, and didn't believe me about them either despite what I had on paper. I saw him twice and then stopped after realising he was just... not compatible with me. It really is all about find the right therapist. If you're able to, you can change them and find one suitable for you. I'll never have the therapist I had all those years ago and my psychiatrist has been trying to get me to try another place, but it's such a huge process and burden.
Psychiatry in general though, as much as I need my medication, I feel like it only exists to keep us from having the thoughts that we do. Like a "saviour". I have to lie about my self-harm and suicidal thoughts to my psychiatrist so I don't get institutionalised again, and where I live, it can be instant if they see any fresh marks on you.
I only got out of it from my last psychiatrist after convincing him I was doing it for body-modification purposes (this is half-true) and it definitely wasn't suicidal intent.
I always felt like psychiatry was to "punish" those of us for feeling suicidal or self-harming, like if they "help" us se the light, they'll be spared somewhere. Like they're doing a "good thing". It's always felt like a punishment more than genuine help. We shouldn't have to be institutionalised for our thoughts. Even therapy wasn't a safe space to talk about it. I feel like my issues just get worse the more I hide it because if I'm honest, they'll just put me back in the psych-ward. That isn't helpful to me.
Sorry for the long post, I have very strong feelings on the subject. My friends have honestly asked me "you really think people would waste time and money to go into a practice to force their own agenda on you?". Yes. I do.
