Actually, I'm not exactly disagreeing with you. I can't, because I don't know all therapists who exist, and I sometimes question the sincerity of therapists, in general. I'm suggesting that not every therapist is a paid monkey, though. Peer therapists, for example (substance use, war vets, etc.), do have my respect. In general, I would trust a peer over any other therapist.
I am not a therapist and never have been. I was a social worker some years ago, though; some similarities there. I worked with homeless teens. Yes, I was paid, but I did the work because I genuinely loved it. And I cared about those kids - with all my heart and soul. I still think about some of them (actually, many of them) today and wonder where they are, how their lives are going. Even some whose names I cannot recall, I would know their faces in a heartbeat.
