Therapy is a fiat confessional. A simulacrum of the Christian Sacrament without any of the meaning and subverted to progress the agenda of a god that the adherents can't even name.

Nor do they believe in.
Yes this is very true, and the pathologizing of spiritual issues as ‘mental illness’ furthers the fiat world view
What do you propose then? It might be more constructive to explain what do you think is good therapy and how to differentiate it from fiat therapy. Otherwise you might be alienating the people that actually are seeking help.
Ah, and confession with Catholic priests has never helped me. Fuck that; it's an even greater scam than fiat. No wonder that atheism exists as a fiat-y reaction to that.
