Yes I know what its supposed to do - the question is, is that what it really does?

Kind of like when people tell someone "hey why don't you come out to the party with us tonight? It will be fun. You will have a blast. You need a change of pace anyway, right?" So the person thinks it over n thinks - well, his/her friends will be there, most likely some music, maybe some food, people laughing n talking - why not? So says "sure, why not?" Get there - turns out the others only wanted him/her there to be the "safe driver" bc they planned on getting drunk and knew he/she didn't drink - so the others wander off leaving him/her alone. So - what was "supposed to be" a fun evening out with friends for a change of pace just became an evening of feeling like a third wheel being drug around N brought out only when useful.

Sometimes what is touted is not what is. So the question is ...is therapy really what its supposed to be or is it just a method to get us to conform
