Introspection is the equivalent of beating off while staring at yourself in a full-length mirror. Or something.


You're the one who got yourself into a bunch of shitty habits and situations, you can't get yourself out of it by yourself. You need an outside perspective and objective assessment.


More importantly you need someone that'll tell you what you don't want to hear, but need to hear.


You can sit there and go HHHMMMM THIS INTROSPECTION REALLY MAKES ME THINK MAYBE MY ENTIRE LIFE IS FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF THAT KID IN 4TH GRADE WHO WAS MEAN TO ME ONE TIME all you want. Introspection is a meme.

>years and years of training in the field of psychology
>friendship

Therapists aren't paid to be nice to you. If you think your therapist is just being nice it's probably because you hate yourself and need to stop or their just a shitty therapist Plain and simple.

therapy is useful for people who have actual mental illness not meme depression and meme anxiety

People deep down love authority. So when a smart, well-dressed person with a professional title tells them all their problems and how to fix them, they listen. It shifts responsibility from the individual to the authority figure. "I have a therapist. He will help me get my life on track. And even if I continue to fail, well, it'll be out of my hands! Even my therapist couldn't right this mess! Oh well".
