When dealing with a difficult situation, people need a combination of faith, discretion, empathy, and consistency. Therapy is ideal for those who need all 4. Note that confessions and visits to the local astrologer also provide all 4. Communities are essential. They provide empathy and have faith in you. Discretion can be harder to find, and consistency can be even harder....especially with the ungrounded nature of modern society. To that degree, Therapists serve a distinct purpose for the community. The long term therapist is replacing community, but even more often, it is replacing spiritual gurus as a consistent & general purpose life guide.
