"Seeing as a therapist has the same access to information as
you do - in a free world - what can they possibly tell you about yourself that you cannot figure out for yourself?
After all, if you're too dumb to figure out your own problems you're going to be too dumb to figure out what a therapist is telling you."
I'm not sure you fully understand (though i respect your opinion). And yes, some people need a little help. Nothing wrong with that. I'm no fan of Freud but i do feel i benefit from seeing a shrink lately. I took a while. First you need to admit you need help. It doesn't mean you're 'dumb'. Some people like to moan all the time and underline how depressed they are. I prefer to leave that for my psychiatrist.
On another note... Are you edocrab?

Fuck. What i meant was that you're not told what to do. The shrink has little or no power. I'm the boss, not her. It's not like i go there for advice. I couldn't go to an oldskool shrink who barely talks though.

barcode there is a difference between a therapist and a counselor, i think you have confused the two
a counselor will tell you shit you may already know, but a therapist uses specially designed techniques to help people in ways they can't achieve by themselves, these patients sometimes have sever mental conditions. a therapist can also prescribe medication
My brother has schizophrenia and he had to see a therapist
Most of the people on here probably are seeing councilors, i doubt they have therapists because they all seem very balanced and well to me, but maybe i'm wrong
