The therapist benefits by suggesting things were bad. Basic conflict of interest.

If I had listened to the therapy industry, I'd have been in therapy forever, because one "issue" leads to the next.

Childhood is a bottomless pit of content for therapy, and even the client's "resistance" to rummaging thru childhood can become therapy content. It's self-perpetuating.

One therapist told me "everything is grist for the therapy mill". It's a great business model.

Some people go thru horrible things and just get on with life best they can.
Thanks for this!
