You’re just paying too much money to vent at someone.

This is what a lot of folks in therapy want. They don't want change, they just want someone to vent to and validate themselves.

I also notice... those are the same people who go around demanding and claiming everyone also needs therapy and that if you aren't actively in therapy you are in denial about your issues or something.

I've always been of the mindset that some people actually use therapy to learn, heal, and grow as compassionate human beings. While others just use it for validation and ego stroking.

I think of it like physical therapy. If you do the work you eventually won't need the therapist, that is the goal.

But a lot of people just refuse to do the work. But at least with a PT they won't waste your time on years of PT if you aren't trying to make progress.
