Many go to therapy not to get well, but to prove they are sick.

True, but ditto for identifying there's no problem to begin with.

what if that's what the therapist is there to tell you? what if your problem is the false belief that you are sick and it requires a professional intervention to get you to accept that you are not?

What if your problem is the compulsive need to identify edge cases? What then? I'll tell you: someone will probably take your money to "treat" it.

what I described is not an edge case, btw. there are different goals of talk therapy but precisely none of them is "fundamentally change the makeup of your personality by talking to you" because that isn't actually possible.

Look, if you want to debate with me about either (i) what constitutes an edge case; or, (ii) what types of crazy things are promoted as goals of talk therapy, I am going to have to start charging you my hourly.
