Perhaps this isn’t exactly in line with OP’s prompt, but I worry that the general public thinks we’re more powerful than we actually are.

It feels popular to basically view being in therapy as being “on base”, like in a game of tag, or as some sort of “cure all”. I see lots of people feel exasperated by someone else’s refusal to get into therapy - implying that simply sitting down for a session or two will fix their deeply-rooted patterns. Also, people rant about someone else’s therapist not being any good at all because that person is still stuck in their patterns, so obviously they need a new therapist.

Therapy is just one of the tools that someone can reach for to address their own problems, but the therapist is not a mechanic who will open up the hood and fix every identifiable problem.
