Therapy being effective is contingent on so many factors that it's useless for everyone except a very specific person. It shouldn't even be recommended to most people or bothered to pursue as a field. Treat it like every other cult/middle class wellness fad/product/

* The Just World Fallacy.

* The Client/Patient having privilege. Existing on the upper two levels of Maslow's Hierarchy. Not being a member of a marginalized group

* The Client/Patient having no self awareness/critical thinking.

* The Client/Patient would be happy being gaslit into being a toxic positivity conformist, worker bee.

* The one size fits all CBT training methods, socratic/leading questions, JADE and DARVOing being applied a the "right" moments and actually working.

Bottom line:
Therapy is effective only if:

• you’re privileged enough to access it,
• you find a therapist who isn’t a parrot,
• you’re in a relatively safe environment,
• you’re psychologically “pliable” enough to be molded,
• and you’re at the right life stage.

Miss even a few of these and therapy turns into gaslighting at best, retraumatization at worst.
