I will never be as rich as those who started investing at birth due to compounding interest.
Also kind of like what Yogi Bera did NOT say about theory and practice:
"In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory. In practice, there is.”

My response to what little of this I understood is I disagree that time is money. This is like talking to friendly acquaintances which therapists say they are not. I believe them -they were not friendly nor acquaintancy. And I did not hire them because of my mother or father or even my doofy sibling.
I don't doubt that some people think therapy helped them. I just want to know how and nothing that I read makes sense in terms of what those people put in their text books and cles. None of it is what I experienced nor does any of it explain how. I don't understand the idea that therapists, other than the cbt people who only do the most obvious of things that anyone who can read could find out on their own on the off chance it wasn't just completely obvious to any sentient being in the first place, teach a client anything. I am boggled at the claim that clients "put the skills they learned to use...." What skill does psychodynamic therapy do? What skill does a client learn by whining about their parents?
