Therapy is mainstream. In every mainstream media (tv, newspapers, magazines, blogs) therapy is presented as something positive, something that always works, that is always helpful. Until I stumbled upon this forum, I had NEVER heard/read that therapy could be pointless/useless or even harmful. There are some studies/articles that talk about it but you have to look for them. There is so much fawning over therapists and therapy everywhere, I don't see how some balance is somehow seen as an attack or a way to make others doubt their therapists and their therapies. If therapy is going great for you, then surely some comment from an internet stranger on a forum won't change that. Defensiveness (and I speak from experience) usually means that there are some doubts about the whole process otherwise why care what someone has to say even if it's negative? It is also possible not to click on threads with the title "are therapists ever wrong?" or to ignore some posters. As for the topic, I have never had a therapist apologize or admit their mistakes. Never. And I have seen 12 of them. I think a lot of them see admitting mistakes as a weakness that shatters the illusion of the "all-knowing, wiser" therapist.
