I think a lot of people are frustrated sometimes when somebody expresses that therapy just "doesn't work" for them, and I used to feel that way, too, until I realized that the therapy that I was doing just wasn't right for me.
When people think therapy, I think many just assume it's all cognitive behavioural therapy and that that is the only kind of therapy out there. However, this isn't true, and CBT can absolutely be ineffective for certain situations. If you are confused by this idea, here's an example: when I was in the midst of my most recent abusive circumstance, not only was my therapy weaponized against me by my abuser, but also, the therapists I had were ill-prepared to treat ongoing abuse. They had the tools common for CBT, but there is only so much a victim can do before their circumstances are completely out of their control. In a case like this, CBT can be an unhelpful tool alone, which is why you have people who blanket statement say that all therapy is unhelpful (understandable why one would say that if they haven't had any helpful/good experiences).
It seems like people see this idea that "therapy doesn't work" as an automatic red flag, and certainly, I can imagine why one would think that. However, in a healthcare system that generally prioritizes CBT therapy as the "only therapy," it's helpful to remember that CBT isn't always the best option or the best option alone.

By the way heres my official reference for my spamton neo :] i still need to color it but for now i'll add headcannons below the cut. Take in mind that I'll put more "fleshy" words below.
The "ingredients":
An aberration of a creature. He is made by metal scraps and living tissue. The arms are some kind of exhaust hose and wires inside them. Inside the carcass there's organic matter; bones, tendons and more... some parts are stuck to the metal, like the muscles and tendons for movement, so he's warm to touch. The organic matter is distributed in all parts of the body, excluding the right metal wing and the tip of the heels. Hair is seen in his neck, so is suspected to have a fluffy neck :]! His face is made by stretchy plastic and the glasses are... glasses, nothing different there.
The abilities:
He can unhinge his jaw and stretch out his arms by twice the size of the original ones. He can't fly for disproportional weight in his wings (and because the metal one cant be moved too much. Plus it's rusty), but he has all the habilities the original sneo has, like the cannon and the phone hands, just that he glitches to generate them.
This version of sneo walks like Ridley (gif from a SBU video by Fyruz on YouTube)
(Also quick size difference chart, i think its similar to the dr size chart?)

"Don't worry, Aone, I've only got a few hours to go"
more hospital AU! I've mentioned nurse Aone, but also I think him and Futakuchi run into each other as one leaves and the other arrives most of the time. They have breakfast/dinner together. Sometimes Futakuchi works longer hours and Aone isn't always the biggest fan.

One moment in Y3 I'll never get over is Daigo, fresh out of coma, instinctively reassuring Mine with such tenderness. Yeah it made him feel more guilty, sure. But at that moment I was like "I get it, Mine. I now get why you're that obsessed". Doesn't make it better that Daigo is pretty pretty with a wonderful voice and gorgeous shoulders
this ask was so real and true and right and it still is but i am cackling a little at 'daigo's gorgeous shoulders'

I still can't believe ofmd is a show set in the 18th century, and they Went to a party of aristocrat's together, And we STILL didn't get to see them dance together
They did all that prep about which fork to use but no - "okay! I'll quickly show you some very basic dances just in case!"
they denied us awkward clammy hand holding, stiff jilted movements, stepping on toes, not yet familiar with each others patterns, the spinning and spinning and the thrill of finally getting it right, bodies moving as one, faces inches apart hot breath intermingling, lingering eye contact, dizzy from the spinning and perhaps something more, holding each other that second longer than needed not wanting to be the first to let go, not wanting to be the first to break the illusion because they are, in that moment, the only two people in the entire universe, distant canon fire suddenly requiring attention, a final awkward laugh and a bashful glance upward, both secretly wanting more, both hoping for a next time
