Anyone ever feel like therapy could be more harmful for the people that need it most?

Therapy is only as effective as the honesty and self-awareness a person brings to it. If someone is deeply biased, dishonest, or distorting reality whether consciously or unconsciously, there’s a real risk that therapy could reinforce their skewed perspective instead of challenging it.

Some therapists, especially if they're more passive or overly validating, might unintentionally reinforce a client's narrative without digging deeper. That’s how you sometimes get people who stay in therapy for years but never really change, because they’re just seeking validation rather than true growth.
