Same, I often feel that therapy is filling in a gap that really should be filled by friends and communities. Therapists at least have the training to not tell depressed people to cheer up, though.
I’m stuck in this situation at the moment. I’m seeing a therapist but my main problem is loneliness. I find I look forward to our sessions just because I get the chance to talk to someone for an hour, but I’m not sure whether I’m gaining much else from the therapy.
