No; their entire job is to reap money off of the insecure and anxious.

In effort to help. That's a key point you're missing.

You do realize that the majority of therapists don’t think that way? Just because something is expected, doesn’t mean it’s going to be reality. People tend to be manipulative cruel. That’s just the way the brain has been psychologically adapted to. We survive by taking advantage of others, but it shouldn’t be that way. I know it’s shame, but there’s no point dealing with something that’s broken. It’s about time we fix this issue before no one can trust anyone anymore. That’s why I prefer therapy animals over people. 1. They don’t cancel appointments. 2. They don’t want your money. 3. They won’t tell you that you aren’t good enough, because you are good enough.

Lol, let me see your poll that proves "most think that way." You've got some strong defense mechanisms flaring up at this topic. And if you've had that therapist, or bad experiences, that sucks. But really, you're incredibly off base.

What poll could I give? Ethics can’t really be measured by statistical numbers, only individual retellings of past events, and by how many comments I’m seeing on the topic of “bad time with a therapist”, I think my point has some structure. However, if you don’t feel it does, that’s okay. This entire topic is mostly based on personal opinion, and I do see your point, I don’t need to be that defensive on this topic, but I just like talking about Ethics. Maybe a little too much.

I think the issue is that it seems like you’re basing your opinion on a single thread about bad experiences with therapists
