    Weeds great but please don’t use it to cope with depression, it’ll just make things worse.

        I hadn’t been sober in 8 years until a few months ago when I started seeing a therapist. Therapy is saving me money at this point.

    Wait therapy is 120 dollar? Per session? Guess that one's off the table lol. Glad I didn't even bother to look it up, saves me the mental energy.

        Some therapists offer reduced fees for people who have lower income. Ask them if they offer sliding scale pricing.

            I've had sliding scale healthcare inpatient rehab on no income and it was like $4 a day they billed you vs the 10000000 a day or whatever is normal.

    Therapy is a racket. It's important but holy shit it should be free.

    I have a therapist friend. She works 3 days a week doing remote therapy and makes 6 figures. She makes more than her husband who is a tech bro consultant who works 6 days a week. Not that her labor shouldn't be valued but it definitely feels like it has crossed over into just straight up exploitation at this point

      Just feel the need to push back to say it is only a racket in the way all for profit healthcare is. Too many people still undervalue the importance of mental health.

      For real though....its disgusting how much therapy costs. I have serious issues with anxiety and tried therapy a few years ago, but my insurance only covered like 3 sessions and then I'd have to pay out of pocket. Big shocker: one of my major stressors and sources of anxiety is money....so I guess fucked eitherway.

      When it's cheaper to buy a gun and blow your brains out then have a fucking 30 minute conversation.

    Honestly, as someone studying psychology, therapy for the most part is a scam. At least in the Western sense of 'talk therapy.' Not worth the money at all unless you can really find a good one or do something like EMDR.
