    Speaking as a therapist (seriously) the purpose of therapy is whatever the client says it is.

    As a therapist looking at some of the new therapy organisations that rhyme with Fetta Yelp, I totally agree with you

      According to my wife (also a therapist), the purpose of therapy is to generate enough paperwork to satisfy the whimsy of the government and private insurers.

      After that, if she’s actually helped people and gotten paid, it’s a bonus.
