The stigma around therapy is shifting to people not trusting therapists to be effective. It doesn’t seem like people fault each other for having mental health struggles as much these days but people do not trust that a therapist will be of any help to them. When I talk with other people they say therapy was a waste of money/time even trying upwards of 10+ therapists.
The problem is therapy isn’t a catch all for all your problems in life.
People have over generalized it. Therapy works best if it’s applied like physical therapy… identify the problem and go through the exercises to deal with the problem…
but that requires a skilled therapist and patient… and often one/both parties are neither of those things. some therapists and clients develop codependency.
ultimately however, the work is done by the person. and a lot of people dont’ want to do the work.
