Don't need therapy? Got money for sympathy?

Everyone can benefit from a therapist and everyone can benefit from a loving, caring partner.
Who knew?
- It definitely does not need to be one or the other. Oftentimes therapy could help in the relationship department considerably. Deep hurt is hard to get through alone, yet I hope more and more people understand there is help out there.
  If relationships are a two way street, and one person is hurting enough to affect their role within it all there should be no shame in reaching out in that way. It could help a lot. It's a shame there's still so much stigma around therapy.
  
  I dont think that stigma is going to get any better any time soon (at least in the US). The past year has given me significantly less trust that anything medical remains private; i have no trust that things said in confidence will not be weaponized against me by the current government. There have already been cases of states demanding medical records for pregnancy, abortion, and transgender records, and texas actually got their hands on some records IIRC.
  
  My therapist says she takes a bare minimum of notes because she understands the fear people have of private info getting leaked. Maybe someone worried about that could ask about their notes process during the therapist-finding stage.
  
  I was implying that both are beneficials.
  
  Oh yeah me too. I agree with everything you said, was just adding on my bit :)
  
  I can't comprehend what I read today. Sorry
  
  No no, could've been how I worded it haha. It's all gravy.
- Wait wait wait... You're telling me people need love? Pfft I don't believe it.
  
  I can guarantee there are at least a few people out there who don't actually need love in adulthood to live happy and fulfilling lives.
  
  How do you figure that?
  
  Because there are always exceptions.
  Always.
  
  There is a well-known study about this: All You Need Is Love (Martin et al., 1967)
- I don't think the OP in the screenshot is describing a loving partnership though - the emotional support described is very much one sided.
  
  There is no reason to assume that
- I choose a loving, varying therapist.
- Not when they see relationships as transactional
