Therapy imbued me with terrible emotional habits, encouraging me to wallow in self pity, expecting an external authority, a strong one, to sooth me and cater to me. Instead of social skills, I became much more self-absorbed. I also thought I was magical and privileged, that the therapy process made me more evolved than normal people.*
*I’ve seen people who’ve been to therapy playing therapist with others, unrequested. So condescending.

I’ve tried to unlearn the effects since.
