Show me someone who doesn't need therapy and I'll show you someone who is delusional about the stability of their mental and emotional state.

It's this kind of attitude that turns a lot of us off the field. When I hear an absolutist statement focused on ingroup versus outgroup I feel an immediate revulsion for the memeplex producing it. To be optimistically curious towards something that other people find brings them mental and emotional stability I need to see some acknowledgement that they have not tried and are therefore not qualified to dismiss every alternative.
I don't believe any reputable psychiatrist would claim that everyone needs therapy.
