Why do people have it in their head that therapists are sorcerers and can solve all your problems?

[Deserter3]

Whenever someone has a problem they say to just go to therapy.

Women love therapists. Endless talking about their feelings and problems. Having their feelings validated.

Men just want solutions. Tell me what steps to solve the issue and move on.

Because someone with the same problem found relief from going to therapy. ㅤ

[Deserter3]

And someone with the same problem went to therapy and it did nothing, and they keep saying to find a different therapist, does it ever end?

[Coercion_Is_Trauma]

It rarely ends becauss the subconscious always wins against willpower.

You obviously don’t understand mental health at all and that’s the problem. 🙄 Anyway, a therapist isn’t there to “solve your problems.” A therapist is there to offer support, care, and offer practical solutions. Many people are still alive due to going to therapy.

[Deserter3]

Do those "practical solutions" encompass giving the client a cocktail of drugs that destroy her mind so badly that she strangles her 3 kids? Tell me more about mental health, love.

Nobody wants to take responsibility for themselves. Thy want to see a shrink or get on meds or both. Why not fix what is wrong in their lives?
