Not everyone needs therapy like everyone needs water, but the $200/week talk to a stranger industrial complex sure acts like it.

the way everyone is suddenly acting like they need weekly sessions now that their therapist accepts their insurance, but last year they were fine journaling for free on their notes app lol.

i used to think talking to someone would fix everything but honestly a $200 monthly subscription kept me broke while journaling cost nothing.

Actually, the numbers show average therapy costs $100-200 per session while studies indicate only 18% of Americans meet clinical thresholds for treatment, meaning most pay premium prices for optional self-improvement rather than medical necessity.

Therapy prevents mental collapse. Luxury assumes you're fine.

i used to dismiss therapy as indulgent until my dad's untreated anxiety cost him his marriage, and i realized preventive mental health saves more money than it costs, like any actual healthcare should.
