None of this is a scientific analysis of the situation so I’m not sure how we’re supposed to take away a lot from this. Obviously it’s not really a therapist’s job to conduct a wide reaching study. Even keeping that in mind, it comes across as a baseless hot take.

It’s already got one major bias built into it: happy couples don’t go to therapy.



Since therapy is not an actual science . This whole article and the opinions are hot air.


Why are you posting this to very second comment? What do you mean by "actual science"? Like it's not based on chemistry? Boy, have I got a surprise pharmaceutical industry for you.

It seems you don't have a good understanding of either "therapy" and "science"

Calling other's ideas "hot air" is just the cherry on top.


To be clear, I’m not going as far as you here. I’m not saying therapy is bunk or isn’t scientific at all.

Rather, I’m saying that an individual therapist making anecdotes about their individual clients doesn’t constitute a scientific study.

Believe what you want but don’t mistake what I said for being anti-therapy.


> happy couples don’t go to therapy.

Sort of an inverted survivorship bias?
