What if there are therapsits with completely different political views as you, what if you clash because those political views gets in the way?
For example the political views of a therapist might be public so you know about them, and dictate how they do their job which affects you.

Maybe nobody watches them and they are biased anyways. Nobody knows what's in someones head.
Or maybe they just really have dumb opinions. I don't know for sure but I think Dr Phil said it was a good idea to reopen the world despite Corona cus cigarettes kill people too or some other analogy like that.
I for example think that lowers his reputation in my eyes.

You have a point but I think most people in the cognitive behavioural therapy area are working towards to help the world a better place, but yeah honestly they need to be kept in check as well

I don't think it's possible to watch the watchmen and I think the biggest problem is not that people want to do bad but because people disagree on what's good.
People used to think cocaine was medicine.
These thoughts makes me worried.

definitely, in the end they have to make a living. if theyre actually you know, helping their clients. theyd be out of jobs
thats why everyone ive ever met who did psychiatric therapy, always left eventually. its not like physical therapy, youll never actually complete it and be healed, most therapists wont tell you that, even if its the case. because they have money to make

It is more than possible to not trust therapists, of course.
Therapists are people and people are dumb and have biased opinions and some don't even want to help, and they are also kind and genuine and actually listen to what you say and help you find a solution to your problems. That's why it's best to look around before deciding to start talking to a therapist (online reviews, opinions from people you know and spoke to them, see if the first session is free and go have a talk, decide after), but yeah, main point is therapists are people too, and there are all kinds of people. Just because they have a diploma doesn't mean they are neutral on everything, but some might be just good enough to set their own opinions aside and focus on what needs to be done and talked about.
