As a former Corrections Officer in a maximum security prison who then became a therapist. Also as a male whose dad committed suicide when I was six years old. I can say I am not your typical therapist and I am an outsider in the profession.
I intensely dislike most other therapists. Other therapists are overwhelmingly neurotic and extremely emotionally sensitive women. The idea that you should help a client stand up on their own two feet. Build some grit and transition out of therapy is considered toxic. Good therapy also involves confronting distorted thinking.
Therapy too often becomes a life long crutch, rather than help to get better.
Excessive anxiety is usually a lack of confidence. Depression is often being stuck and lacking direction in life. These are not hard for a good therapist to fix.
Some problems like PTSD, Anorexia, Gender Dysphoria, OCD are more durable and can take a long time to treat.
