I realize now that the emerging debate is hijacking your thread. I feel like I am contributing into this so I am going to stop. I wasn't the one who started it though. But, I do get easily triggered by certain posts that intentionally stir conversations towards what the poster wants to "discuss" (or more precisely, to fight about) instead of what OP wished to get input on.

If anyone wants to continue the debate about the evils vs the virtues of psychotherapy, I'd encourage them out of respect for OP's wishes, to start a separate thread for that. I don't want to continue to hijack OP's thread anymore, so I won't be responding to arguments on this thread.
