Blaming the patient for having a bad attitude just makes the profession of psychotherapy look ineffectual.
What sort of magic are you expecting from psychotherapy? You're paying someone to help you solve your problems. You're not paying someone to solve your problems for you.
- eeZah7Ux 8y agoModern advertising is based on psychology. It works surprisingly well even when people try to resist it.
- jm__87 8y agoAdvertisers nudge you to do something you sort of already want to do. The amount of effort required to buy things is minimal and buying things you want to buy is usually enjoyable. On the other hand, going to therapy is forcing yourself to do something that is difficult, sometimes painful and requires a lot of effort and resources (both time and money). I don't see the relationship between voluntarily going to therapy and advertising inducing you to buy things.
