I do not think that all therapy is unwarranted. I think there are truly some instances in which a person seeking therapy is a good thing.
For clarification, I think that there are many-many-many things that people take to their therapist, that would be less expensive and more beneficial to take to your family and friends. I think that our society has become "Shrink Happy" and we are shooting ourselves in the foot by going to a stranger rather than relying on the trust of family and friends.
'Nuff said.
