What are your opinions on psychotherapy? Is it useful? I feel that everyone needs therapy and also that it’s a dystopian product of transactional hyper-individualism that risks subtly distorting people’s development of natural intimacy and relational processing. Has anyone else had similar thoughts?

Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. The main problem with therapy I see is that it can be the blind leading the blind. If the therapist is humble to their blindness, and helps the patient do the same, that seems spiritually safer. If not it seems dangerous.
