look, there's a lot of things to criticize about therapy as a concept and institution with the capacity to do so much harm, but willingly going to therapy and then bitching about the tools that therapy provides to help you cope w/your issues b/c your therapist didn't tell you A) that all of your problems would be fixed if X systemic issue didn't exist, actually, B) that you should keep performing filial piety to your parents of color that terrorize you on a daily basis despite how their behavior is what brought you to therapy in the first place, or C) that you get a good grade in therapy for pointing out that bad people can go to therapy too and abuse it somehow, as if any of those things disprove the necessity or efficacy of therapy (that once more you chose to do) is wicked work.
