Maybe that's part of it. There is an underlying assumption that you are having some sort of problems if you need to see a therapist here.

- o_____________o 8y agoThere's probably some spillover from the psychotherapy boom in midcentury America. In some circles it was (and probably still is) viewed more as advanced self-exploration than fixing some tragic brokenness. One tends to see therapy used by upwardly mobile urban professionals, as an example. I personally think almost everyone would benefit from a good therapist, though stigma, cost and the view you're expressing are all probably huge obstacles.
