I don't discount that those who feel that it is a scam and is horribly painful to them. I believe them! I think that therapy can be incredibly painful. That just isn't the experience of everyone who goes. It's good for some and really not so good for others. No one needs to be talked into going or not going. I honestly believe that it is a very personal decision that each person has to make for him/herself. All any of us can do is give our own experience and suggestions and let the person make up their own mind.

I think it is both a scam AND can be helpful. Kind of like patent medicines. Many didn't work, and some did - though that was because they contained dangerous ingredients like opium.
Anyway, back to the OP: I do think if something isn't working for you in therapy, you should try to say something rather than suffer in silence. You will then find out if that's the therapist for you.
