I wonder how much of the therapeutic benefit from psychologists is actually just having an empathetic listener as you “rubber ducky” debug yourself.
Along the same lines, I wonder if the reliance on psychologists is a symptom or our increasing isolation. Whereas in the past, people would have gone to a priest, rabbi, older relative, family friend, they now go to a psychologist.
- Etheryte 3y agoFor most cases the answer is pretty much none of it. Expecting someone with depression to just rubber duck themselves out of it is like hoping for a car crash survivor to perform surgery on themselves. Sure, there are some fringe cases where it might occur, but by and large this simply doesn't happen.
