> The website will be a therapist -- telling you only what you want to hear
this was a surprising comment to me. If that was your experience with a therapist, please don't assume that all therapists would have such a useless strategy!
Good well-trained and empathetic therapists do challenge assumptions and help move you towards useful and new perspectives not merely ego stroking. Everyone if possible should shop around for therapists and find someone that is a good fit, and that includes getting the right amount of insightfulness and independence of thought, with rapport but also without fear of speaking truthfully in your presence.
