Unpopular opinion:
Therapy can do good things. If problem comes from within, therapy can help. But too often it’s used to help people cope with external circumstances. Which is a form of oppression used to preserve the status quo.

How do you expect me to join a revolution when I’m lying in bed, too depressed to move?
Being able to “cope”, or survive, within horrible circumstances isn’t oppressive. Oftentimes it’s absolutely necessary to even begin to change your circumstances for the better. The alternative is unnecessarily cruel and to be clear helps absolutely zero with the status quo.
