Bad Therapy Hurts

Is Your Therapist Even Qualified?

🔥 “Therapy Costs Are INSANE — But Bad Therapy Costs Even More” 🔥 Let’s call this what it is: therapy is outrageously pricey. You’re looking at $100–$300 PER SESSION, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. And guess what? Insurance barely covers it — if you can even find a decent therapist who takes insurance in the first place. So you turn to online therapy, right? BetterHelp, Talkspace, whatever — sounds convenient, right? Sure… until you find out you might be baring your soul to someone who’s not even licensed. 😬 A 2022 Consumer Reports investigation showed that these platforms have major spotty quality and privacy red flags. And worst of all? Bad therapy can actually break you further. A 2018 study in Clinical Psychology Review found that ineffective or unethical therapists can WORSEN your symptoms — especially in trauma cases. Think about it: if your “therapist” pushes you to forgive your abuser too soon or just sits there like a potted plant, that’s not help — that’s harm. Therapy isn’t about the quick fix. It’s not about having someone nod at you for 50 minutes while your wallet cries. It’s about real work — done safely, with a pro who knows how to navigate your pain without blowing you up inside. So yeah, the price is steep — but the cost of bad therapy is way higher. 👇 Drop a comment: What’s the biggest therapy horror story you’ve seen? Let’s get real.
