I've shared similar sentiments in various threads, but yes, for some people psychotherapy has an adverse effect. I honestly believe this happens because the person getting therapy does not respond well to hyperfocus on themselves. There's a point at which oneself must be able to say 'yes, I'm okay, I don't need help anymore' and modern psychotherapy doesn't really have anything beyond 'algorithms' to really establish that. Once labeled ill, it feels like it can be with you forever. I'm sure some mental health care professionals believe that's an essential crutch mentally ill people need, but from personal experience it can be just as handicapping as it is intended to be helpful. Sometimes people just want to know they'll be psychologically fine independently, and that's not something psychotherapy can prove to a person while guiding them. It's not an easy problem, but it exists. Also, pointing out problems doesn't mean oneself created them. It's something humanity needs to work on collectively.
