A friend comes to you and says they are struggling with what sounds like depression and anxiety. Your friend then says “I’ve heard therapy doesn’t actually work. In fact, I’ve heard therapy actually does more harm than good.” Help educate your friend by discussing the following: Discuss the evidence that the general statement "Therapy is generally more effective than no treatment at all." is accurate. Make sure you talk about specific research evidence and discuss the methodology (Meta-analysis) used to come to that conclusion. Next, delve into the discussion on dangers of therapy. Talk specifically here about the statement "Therapy can be harmful." Why might certain therapies be dangerous for certain people? Discuss the uniformity myth here as to why some might incorrectly say therapy is ineffective. Minimum TWO full paragraphs are likely necessary, but more depth is always appreciated.
