They don't like it when you tell them everything.

They're just there to get you off the ledge and back into the stuff that got put you on the ledge.

Unless you're loaded with unlimited billable hours, then honey, lets get you some catharsis! What does fulfillment look like to you?

this reads like a criticism of society worded as a criticism of individuals

because "therapists will only provide therapy for as long as they receive money for it" is a weird take to thrust upon people who still need money to eat food to survive

I see no lie.

right, and the fact that said therapists need money to survive is not a critique of those individuals, but of society

what's your point?

You aren't wrong. I also won't fix your computer for free, no matter how old or helpless you are.

Just because Capitalism has made you a monster doesn't mean we all must be beasts.

Okay, what do you do to earn your daily meal?

And many therapist will lower their rate and otherwise find ways to support clients as much as possible

[–] Primarily0617@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

i think it's great that some therapists are willing to go to those lengths to support those people that need it

but expecting this from them is unfortunately unreasonable

[–] speck@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Totally agree
