There’s a book called “Bad Therapy” by Abigail Shrier and it’s really eye-opening about how therapists are basically just taking money and doing the bare minimum. And, how they are literally keeping people in therapy, especially children, to have a long term source of income. It’s also about how parents have become obsessed with getting their children therapy after listening to the wrong people.
