So a while back and even fairly recently, I have made a topic about this, but I just want to explain more clearly of what I meant.
Here is the older thread in regards to the topic.
So therapy is useless because it doesn't help me solve the problems I have, nor does it provide me with anything that I couldn't already figure our or find on my own. I am better off just finding my own solutions or looking elsewhere. Furthermore, paying money and wasting my time with such a pointless endeavor only frustrates me. It is also very dismissive and ignorant when others suggest getting help or seeking therapy. I get that there are some people who benefit from it so it's not ALL useless in the grand scheme of things, it's just that I wished people would stop throwing it around as some golden advice or the solution to every damn problem.
'But it helps you see a new perspective that you otherwise wouldn't!'
I've done lots of meditation on the problems I have and I still arrive at the same conclusion. I am not wasting my time and money to go through the pointless drivel session after session and lining the pockets of these fools. Furthermore, how does that solve problems that I am facing both in the present day and future?
'But it gives you coping strategies to deal with your issues!'
Ha, I already have multiple ways of coping, and these so called suggestions are a joke. If I wanted to vent, I'd at least go somewhere where no one can hear me and just shout at the top of my lungs until I'm exhausted. Again, when I'm just coping, how does it solve my problems?
'You just didn't find the right therapist! Try a different one! Keep looking!'
This is a very faulty assumption based on a false and poor premise. The premise is assuming that there exists a therapist person that would help me and that said person will be successful at treating me. Ok, so for the sake of argument, let's say there is. Now, to begin with, most people (including myself) don't have all the time and wealth to throw around to try countless (like dozens or hundreds) therapists and mental health professionals to find that "unique" one. Even if let's say I do happen to find one, there is no guarantee that said person would make a difference and I may just have gone through all the trouble for nothing except lost time and a much smaller wallet. No thanks.
This is the kind of "help" that people keep pushing and insisting in society. If they saw what really happens and goes on, I'm sure they wouldn't be so quick and pigheaded towards this kind of advice (unless they are braindead, delusional, or just beyond ignorant). What a joke. To be fair, yes it does help some people but to assume that it helps everyone and to ignore someone's circumstances is not only ignorant but also very arrogant and rude.

In reality, that is just not possible, let alone worth the effort.
