I am glad you said "therapy CAN be beneficial." For me, a person who chose to see a therapist back in 1981, this was not the right choice. In fact, going to therapy was the singlemost worst decision of my life. I was an independent, hard-working and talented music student who, because of therapy, became dependent and needy. My parents were shocked to see the changes in me in only a short period of time. They noted that the therapists never addressed the problems I came to them with in the first place. THREE DECADES later, I found that what I came to them for was still completely unsolved and hadn't even been addressed. What I received in the place of any sort of answer or cure was abuse. I was given fake diagnoses, pills that never helped, was incarcerated in hospitals where they ignored what was truly amiss, and ultimately, my reputation and my body itself were so badly damaged that I had to do a drastic relocation to rid myself of the unfounded "diagnoses" they had arbitrarily assigned to me. The only way I could solve any of the original problems that plagued me for three decades was to ditch therapy once and for all, and go back to being the independent spirit I always was.
