Agreed. In a world where therapy is shoved down everybody's throat, it's a good balance to suggest that "hey maybe this is a waste of money, money that could be spent on other activities that may be far more fulfilling". When I look back on my own therapy where I spent hundreds of euros, I kind of cringe because with that money I could have gone on a cruise in the Greek islands (my dream) which would have been far more satisfying that any of that pointless "talking about my feelings" stuff. I mention travels but yes a sport activity is good too. Anything to get out of your own head is good imo. As for how people pay for psychoanalysis, either they're rich or they're sacrificing a lot of potential enjoyment to pay for it. Whether that sacrifice is worth it, who knows. I tend to think not.
