Is this field doing more harm than good?

from The Work of Being Human · host Vanessa Bentley

This week I tackle an important and difficult question: is the field of psychotherapy doing more harm than good? Are we, as therapists, actually helping people? Or is our field, our expensive, time-consuming field, doing harm? Are we giving people the tools they need to live their lives with joy and meaning, or are we merely kicking the can of emotional pain down the road? We have to ask these questions. We have to step back and assess whether or not therapy is worth it. I believe it is, but only if we are proactively and intentionally addressing our pain, only if we are committed to living in reality and all that means.
