What do you think of therapists?

Good thing? Bad thing? I always think they lose business if their patients get well. And also that so much is merely subjective. My mentor was a PHD MFT, and she said many people go into that field to fix themselves.

It is attractive when you are broken to seek out a cure,but you'd have to be a really strong individual to keep your hurt and thiers seprate.

Well said. Yet how to open up when also keeping healthy boundaries? @SW-User

@FlowersNButterflies it's something we broken people have to learn and we have to learn to respect other people other people's boundaries, as well.
no one's coming to fix us we have to work on the cure ourselves and I think that's what a good therapist does it points you in the direction of self healing it doesn't make you more dependent on the therapist the goal is to get you independent.

My goal is to work out end of life issues. @SW-User

@FlowersNButterflies I'm sure there is a therapy just for that, if possible ,I'd seek out a counselor who specializes in that.
maybe a grief counselor?
