Which is all very well and good, but it is not what therapy claims to be. That's what bothers me the most. It's not that I have some wild expectation that the therapist should care, its that they claim they do. They also claim that they are effective - which, again, they don't seem to be.

Therapy is crazymaking because it claims to be one thing, is another, and if you have a problem with any of it, they have a handy label to toss at you to explain why it is your problem, not theirs.
Thanks for this!
