I’ve heard similar arguments from other people, with the only functional difference being the replacement of the word “therapy” with the word “church”.
I accept that therapy has benefited you. I accept that church has benefited others.
My own experiences with therapy do not match yours. Much like my interaction with religion, I found multiple experiences with therapy to be denigrating and exploitative. Despite external criticism and accusations of “toxicity”, I feel my viewpoints on therapy are as valid as anyone else’s.
Well, you’re entitled to your own view. I don’t know you or your history so I’m not going to harp on you. It was obvious from the jump you have therapy trauma and I’m deeply sorry for that. I’ve had bad experiences as a teen with therapy, but looking back I can see I was part of the problem. So now I just see these types of arguments as justification to keep living in a miserable dysfunctional way.
However I will say comparison between organized religion and a medical science is sort of silly. I get what you’re going for, different strokes for different folks. But therapist are trained medical professionals backed by research and countless studies, not “sky wizard said I alone know best”.
I’ll leave you alone, I just had to say something. Bless and GL. ♥️
