Core flaw with therapy (that they never even tried to solve) is “person unreliably narrates woes to person with no means of verifying and obvious financial interest”. Usual result was shrink let patient believe the problem was someone not in the room - husband, boss, dad, etc.
Financialized version of the rules of blame: Rule 1 - blame the absent Rule 2 - blame inanimate objects I guess now we can update and add "blame racism" / "blame white people" and they're probably using that in therapy right now.
