But you're letting your own anger and worries color your perception. The true definition of the word is much more mild than you are allowing it to be.

Really - "psychotherapy" is an English word with Greek roots. The ancient Greek "psyche" meaning "breath; spirit; soul" and "therapia" meaning "healing;medical treatment." So the word in it's most pure form is simply a healing of the spirit or soul. It doesn't mean "therapy for a crazy person" which is the definition you seem to want to assign to it.
