do y'all actually know people who've been in therapy for like 5+ years and it doesn't seem to be helping them very much? i keep hearing about these people but i don't actually know any. what kind of therapy do they do?
Conversation
I was helped but in intangible ways. Really was just paying for a good listener for like 4 years. Was better than not having it, but I’m probably one of these people being referred to.

it's pretty nice to be listened to for sure! although i am curious: what kind of therapy was it and what kind of stuff did you do in sessions?
Replying to
I never got a formal name for it! I guess the closest in retrospect would be a sort of humanism with a meditationy/new age slant. A lot of listening and reflecting. Very slow to recommend things, and recommendations were made lightly.
