    You’re painting with a pretty broad brush. True, there are some situations in which acceptance is the only realistic option, and therapy CAN ABSOLUTELY help with those too. But to say that all therapy is just “convincing yourself that you don’t have problems” is just the epitome of naivety. You’re helping no one here.

      I’m painting with the only brush I possess. And no, I didn’t say " convincing yourself you don’t have problems ". I said " convincing yourself it’s not a problem " IE how to deal with it.

      In any case, thank you. For all of the people that visibly responded to this either by vote or by response, you appear to be the only one that accepted there might be exceptions to the rule.
