LOL, I’d love to see that peer reviewed paper. Which one are you citing?


Nothing ever happens unless there's a paper to back it up


More like: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That wild claim needs some backing, lest we all be justified in making fun of it.


The extraordinary claim is that talking to a ‘counsellor’ or ‘psychologist’ has any net positive benefits that are measurable in any way.


The extraordinary claim at issue is YOURS:

> News just in: talking about your mental health, especially for men, does not improve your mental health.

> For the majority of men, most of the time.


One thing talking to a therapist has a proven ability to do is fatten their purse at your expense.

There are no measurable benefits better than placebo.


Still no evidence or other support for these claims = bad faith.
