I wonder sometimes if maybe therapy would get a higher adoption rate amongst men if it were rebranded as performance coaching or something aspirational and toughhttps://twitter.com/ejtwister/status/1139191362576932864 …

I do worry about the problem of “false practitioners” - a reason I’ve never gone to a therapist in
is I’m not sure I trust any of them to be decent at it 
maybe if I had a referral from someone I trust. I don’t wanna be with someone running a scripthttps://twitter.com/mandalaeyes/status/1139401708931387393?s=21 …Show this thread
My own experiences both as a former clinical psych undergrad & an occasional client have led me to suspect that you've *really* lucked out if you land a competent therapist at or under the median price point

Fortunately, it seems a lot of people can make some gains even with an incompetent therapist, assuming they're the sort of people who can benefit from a very procedural protocol (like CBT or DBT) & the their therapists are relatively nice people who stick to the script

But people who spend a lot of time introspecting & require many years to find a mind-tribe are IMO unlikely to benefit from mid-tier therapy. They may even regress. It can be very damaging to seek help from someone whose assumptions are wrong for you & who can't update quickly
