This forum doesn’t represent the entire population. Like if you go on “cheating” forum people who post there usually have cheating spouses, but it doesn’t mean every spouse out there is cheating. It’s just who posts on that forum have that experience.

I know ton of people irl who are seeing a therapist, people in my family, people I deal with professionally, friends etc They only ever have good or at least decent experiences and would have nothing bad to share on here. Many (not all) people who post on here do have bad experiences so that’s why they post on here.

Of course many people I’ve read on here had the most horrid experiences. But they don’t represent the entire population who sees therapists. They represent population who had a bad experience.
