        This is one of those situations where we need more information. The psychologist could own the business and be a petit bourgeois

        I doubt many working class people are seeing a psychologist with a private practice.

      I know it's a non-issue but sometimes it feels like some specific health professionals are "overpaid".

        honestly i think a job where you have to listen empathetically to everyones shit all day without turning into the joker is a job where im kinda okay with them getting a bit extra

        they just shouldnt be getting paid directly from peoples pockets

        Yeah, especially when they're dealing with poverty-related health issues, their own cushy existence acts as a barrier for understanding the issue at hand.

        My psychiatrist is usually a really nice and empathetic woman but once at a group therapy session one of the other attendees told about how being in debt and on welfare was making his life miserable and making him feel inferior and excluded and she didn't even get how that could be an issue, the situation was fair because he had chosen to take on the debt himself and he should be grateful about the alms he received in welfare and take on his responsibility. She was not even mean about it, she just genuinely thought he had chosen to end up penniless and that he could choose not to be of he wanted to.
