    I don’t think ill of therapists, but the fact so many issues come down to money doesn’t endear me to the idea of therapy needing to take another chunk of it for dubious gains until you find the right therapist for you, and possibly even after that. Again, blame the system, not people, but hearing folks tell me I must pay people to fix me as the system grinds onward is tiring.

      What if people who fix your body were paid by taxes? The brain is also about health and health costs should be free.

        Not sure what you were expecting, here. I support universal healthcare, and mental health is part of everyone’s health. Still paying if I want any, though, and that’s not changing anytime soon. Sucks to suck, severely sucks for suckers scoring less than me on the income lottery.
