Why do some people pay hundreds of dollars for a therapist to sit there and nod and ask basic questions?

I mean equivocating someone who went through 4 years education and specific training in trying to help others with someone who "sits there and nods and asks basic questions" is just really preposterous.

I used to think therapists were authoritative/trained, but I now have a very low opinion of them. I think, in general, most therapists are probably broken people who got a rubber stamp of a degree and they actually have little ability to reason about minds independently.

I agree that some therapists can help in a way most OF girls can't. I also think in person sex work is *way* more therapeutic (and probably often more beneficial than therapy) than online sex work, and I think most people from the outside severely underestimate this.
