Thank you.

So I wanted to switch directions a little bit.

I feel like there's this common idea amongst progressives that therapy is always good.

Everyone needs a therapist.

Everyone can benefit from therapists.

And you have people on the right, I'm thinking of like Abigail Schreier's bad therapy, where she says a lot of therapy is more harmful on balance than it is beneficial.

You've got Matt Walsh, whose therapy is overwhelmingly kind of a scam is how he presents it.

One of the things I'm afraid of is that in our society, we're presenting this dichotomy where liberals go to therapy and conservatives don't.

And I think there's a lot of liberals going to therapy who don't need to be there.

And there's probably some conservatives who do need mental health support.

And they look at this field and say, that field is not for me.

You people can't help me.

Well, what can you tell me about what's going on in that political landscape in terms of how we view therapy?

Yeah.

One thing that I bring up to a lot of people is like, what if you are, you know, a person who is being like shamed or attacked in the workplace for being white and or a man?

And you're thinking, OK, I need to like process some of this.

Some is not right.

This is not sitting well with me.

I need to like unpack this.

But you think this like 24 year old, like progressive woman is like has no idea what I'm going through.
