      And even those therapists need to see even higher therapists. It’s Dr Phil at the top, I guarantee

        Dr Phil isn’t allowed to practice anymore - he started treating a college freshman for anxiety and depression, gave her a job and then started fucking her.

        What he does on television has done immense damage to understandings of mental health. That bullshit disgusting tough love, while at the same time being a hypocritical creep and serial adulterer. Send his ass to Turnabout Ranch.

          Uh, that’s why he is at the top. Do you think pyramid schemes are run by upstanding citizens?

            His grift is less “pyramid scheme” and more just saying things people want to hear: You don’t need to pay for your kids to see a therapist, mental illness is just a lack of grit. Things like substance abuse and PTSD can be overcome if you just have enough willpower. The purpose of mental health care is to harangue weirdos into being normal.

      right, one on one therapy is a pyramid scheme, as we all know pyramids are made out of two points.
