But generally people complain more than they praise. That's human nature. The people on this forum cannot be generalized to the general therapy client. Considering these forums also only show one very biased side, I'd be hard pressed to use it as any sort of research information.
So, to your point that therapy can cause suffering being rarely mentioned, I imagine that is so because it so rarely happens and that the simpler reason for the suffering is probably closer to being correct.
If, to your point, therapy was causing significant amount of suffering for a significant amount of people, what would be your solution?
