Therapy? someone telling you what they think is the right to do? or giving you prescription drugs that feed those in power? a judgement based on the way the system works? I don't need it, yet.
If a therapist is telling you how to think, you should move on to a different therapist. Psychologists don't prescribe meds, only psychiatrists do.
A good Psychologist will allow you to find your own answers by gently guiding you to the door. This door is a door only you can step through. They won't make you do anything. They only ask very vague questions so that you come to the conclusion that you need to come to so that you can find the answers that you seek.
My old psychologist, was more of a mentor so to speak. Sometimes I'd go see him just to talk about life. He was very learned in Tolle, Buddhism, etc so it was fascinating to talk to him and this was a decade prior to ever finding such philosophies.
