There is a therapy crisis in America today-each year, millions of Americans enter therapy hoping and believing they'll be helped-but studies show that rather than being the lifesaver good therapy has been known to be, many patients are finding themselves even more emotionally distraught than before. With several different therapists, failed treatment attempts, and thousands of dollars down the drain, they are left frustrated and confused, feeling that they only have themselves to blame. Frankly, too many Americans are in therapy year after year, for no good reason.
Sadly, this is considered to be a 'normal' state of affairs by many therapists currently in the field.
Ineffective methods + uninformed (and vulnerable) patients = therapy dependence, even 'therapy addiction.' Add insurance company payment denials to the mix, and you might wonder if it's even possible to find a caring, ethical, and effective psychotherapist. Could we be in the midst of a mental unhealth catastrophe?
