The few times in my life I've been to therapy or counseling on times at very different ages in my life for wildly different reasons, it's interesting that every single time, it amounted to them nicely asking me to let it go. Just stop letting whatever IT is affect you. Thanks asshole. How is that a fucking career?

Better than my experiences.

Which involved one laughing at me, and telling me to stop being silly and be serious when I was being serious.

and the other one being a christnut that, in their christlike duty, decided to bilk me for a few thousand dollars before telling me I needed to go to church and submit to jesus, because being a godless heathen was why i had my problems.

edit.

Not tryin to gate keep ya or play who has the best misery, to be clear. Just sympathizing.

Where do you live? I'm asking because my experience couldn't be more different and I'm in Germany.

I'm also a man, went to therapy and my therapist was just fantastic! She could relate to me, gave excellent advice etc., really changed my life for the better.

PS: of course I didn't have go anything or so, just if I'd miss a session ^^ (in theory, but even 30m late to a 50m session was still fine hehe)

Not the person you asked, but I'm from Spain and I've had a fairly similar experience.
