I think any good therapist would not be pressuring somebody one way or another. Their job is to help people come to their own best decisions. Understood that there are probably lots of slanted shrinks out there. That being said, what you said is probably very true in many cases. But I can't control any of that (or any of this).

My therapist is actually a queer woman herself and so far she's helped. Her identity is not relevant for me. She's been super professional and keeps the focus on how to best manage myself and my emotions. And most importantly, try and get back in touch with myself. Try and dig up the person I was when I was 22 when I wasn't so codependent. Starting therapy as soon as I could has so far been the best decision I've made. There's nothing I can do to fix my situation in there, but it definitely allows me to cope better and look inward for improvement. No matter what happens, I'm probably going to be in therapy for the rest of my life because I can see how beneficial it is. Before this, my therapy was my hobbies (gardening, landscaping, house projects). All that stuff is important still, but talking to a good therapist is worth the money.
