Therapies and medications

 I am very critical of therapies that deal with the human psyche, although I don't mean to say that they are fundamentally wrong for everyone.

I have very little experience with therapists, but whenever I have been to therapists I have never felt comfortable during or after therapy, so it is not the right thing for me.

The same applies to medications that have an effect on the human psyche (psychotropic drugs, neuroleptics, etc.).

I don't take them myself because I don't want to be dependent on such medications and because they (can) have side effects.

But it may be that there are people who need such medications (at least they think they need them), although I don't think much of the pharmaceutical industry (it's a money-making machine).

I prefer to talk to people with whom I have a basis of trust, to whom I mean something and who mean something to me.

In addition, the relationship between client and therapist is always purely professional. A therapist is never a substitute for a good friend.
