Do you think a therapist job is to...

Say "uncomfortable" things?
Mine shared this is her view .


I don't believe that's the main goal or objective of a therapist. I think they should validate your experience or feelings, and be objective...if they are not supposed to "tell you what to do", which I believe they use that as a way to be completely cut off from offering real guidance, then why would telling a person negative, uncomfortable things, be more important, than giving helpful tips? Most people are there not from having positive helpful people or experiences...they are there often due to horrible experiences already😢

They are suppose to guide you to the solutions to getting better any way that works
But your suppose to figure it out NOT them

@pdockal Yes however one is paying them to help us figure it out. I'm not asking another to figure out everything, but I am there to get some form of therapy or help. They are there to help you get to the root of things.

@Coralmist

I dont think you actually understand how therapy works
yes they are paid but they wont/cant solve your issues
they can ONLY guide you
untill you understand this youll never get the help you need
