Exactly. I don't understand why so many people here seem to distrust reviews about therapists.
I reviewed my ex-T on yelp and tried to be as honest as possible, stating that she had been somewhat competent but a bad a fit for me nonetheless.
Why would reviewers be more subjective or prone to extremes while reviewing therapists than when they review bars or restaurants?
Sure sometimes you had a terrible experience and you want to vent but most of the reviews I read on Yelp are well-written, informative and the people who wrote them seem to only want others to avoid bad experiences/recommend a great place.
Am I too optimistic? I don't think so.
