After many decades of exposure to various kinds of psychological theories and methodologies, my conclusion is that therapists are simply paid friends. #truth #life #psychology

 worse! 

minus Jung (but perhaps including), its basically an antichrist grift for shekel-gains and pagan de/reprogramming. 
 What do you think about using AI as a therapist? I've been experimenting with it using local AI models and it seems helpful, although I've never tried therapy myself. One aspect I really liked about the local AI is total privacy and no judgement. 
 Probably better than a therapist, but not as good as a real friend. 
 Love how you compare therapist to a prostitute 🤣 I wonder how a therapist would respond hearing this. 😳.
Yeah I agree, it's rare to find a good friend these days. Talking with someone you resonate with helps. That can be key.
AI probably work to an extent, but probably lack something. 
I've taught one on one in the past, and teaching is similar. You cant teach anyone anything. The best teachers are good at holding your hand and getting you in a space where you will teach yourself. 
The payment part interferes and changes dynamics for sure. 💯 
 Thank you.  I enjoyed that and learned as well.
