Now not going to therapy is a red flag. Seeking support from friends and family is exploiting their “emotional labour”. And men are shamed for preferring to chat to their mates about their problems than pay a stranger

therapy isn’t about gleaning advice; it’s about developing the capacity to seriously consider the advice you’ve already received

I think you drastically over-estimate how “fulfilling” something like therapy is.
Day in and day out you will see people you desperately wish to help, who if they listened to 20% of what you offered would see their lives change immensely, only to watch them repeat the same behavior without change day in and day out.
