This is really interesting and more people should talk about it. 
People have different incentives for why they go. I hadn’t really thought about people who weaponize their diagnosis or use therapy as a status symbol. I know so many people like that. I typically just roll my eyes but when I think about it an anti therapy sentiment gets perpetuated. 

You start to feel like you’re too poor for it or you’re uninterested because you don’t feel as messed up (for lack of a better phrase) as the person with the long list of diagnoses.

It’s like the man at the well… you have to want to be healed. 

Wow! This is an eye opener.
