I went to therapy and it motivated me to get a better job so I could afford therapy
Good for you! (unironically)
But high price is still a giant barrier for entry, and a huge cost in general. Back when prices didn't skyrocket further and cut me out, I was spending as much on an hourly session as I spend on my groceries - y'know, things to sustain the very living - in over a week.
And then you've gotta be lucky enough to find a fitting therapist in the first place. I've heard stories of people going from therapist to therapist, just trying to find the one that works for them. Spending money for basically nothing the entire time.
True
And especially true for more rare and/or stigmatized conditions. Quite a few therapists are straight up incompetent to deal with such issues.
