I experienced therapy--different types of therapy--as fraudulent, but only after a very deep dive into it. The first therapist went through the motions of helping our family, but didn't. The second was a saccharine fake-sage who pretended to know far more than she did and stoked my feelings of victimhood. Group therapy was conducted by a pair of contemptuous, scolding bullies who unleashed full fury when I tried to leave. My fourth, a psychoanalyst, actually was pretty neutral, smart when she did speak. But three self-indulgent hours a week drove me into temporary psychosis.
