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 …

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
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 script
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

Yeah that is my POV as well, which I hesitate to express in case it comes across as dismissive or holier-than-thou. My sense is that mid-tier therapy can work amazing for people in normie contexts (finite players?) but infinite players fundamentally need infinite-player-coaches
