Discussion Is psychology bullshit?

[istanbul]

Or does it have some validity? I feel like in most cases psychologists will only try as hard as they can to retain their patients as opposed to actually help improve people's lives. At least it's the impression I get seeing people irl being just as troubled as they were prior to starting taking therapy.
It doesn't help that it's an oversaturated career mostly chosen by women and libshit transvegan male allies.

I could try to talk with you about this but I doubt anything I will say will change your mind so I'd rather not waste time.

I don't see both as opposite realities.
As I said in the christianity thread, I'm slowly realizing the duality in the Son, or the Word, which is a duality that can be applied almost everywhere which relates to the Son. Humanity relates to the Son.

And I believe that psyche also follows this duality, in that the human psyche is perfectly metaphysical or spiritual. and perfectly physical at the same time. And what fascinates me, which is what pushed me onto psychology in the first place, is the interaction between the physical and the spiritual in the brain. Sure, current psychology is completely opposed to anything that isn't physical, but I believe that the key to destroying this barrier is the study of consciousness

Didn't read albeit. I don't care what your take on the matter is. Our saints speak up against psychology and psychiatry. Follow your own advice and don't waste your time, I gave up on all philosophy relating to modernity a long time ago.

Psychiatrist and psychologist are two different things, the former gives you meds to treat your hormonal imbalance that causes nightmares and depression (it's so over) and the later projects xher traumas and issues on you while overcharging your ass to hear shit you already knew

A good half of psychologists aren't even therapists, they're researchers, and a good 75% of research in psychology has no clinical application
