It's made my life way, way better

It's not a panacea, and the way people talk about it drives me crazy. There are many different modalities, with very different levels of effectiveness for any given person. CBT is awful for me, for example, and it's the most popular modality. I also did ketamine-assisted therapy and it absolutely changed my life.

There are definitely people who won't get anything from it, but the reflexive "therapy is useless" is a weird thing to perform when it's obviously helped a ton of people.
