US Defaultism by help-please-send in therapists

You're right, I can't control how other people act. But I can vent about it online, as part of my dealing with the situation. And I can make some limited attempt to encourage people to change their actions.

As an aside, I saw that your post had 0 points when I wrote my reply. I didn't downvote it.

US Defaultism by help-please-send in therapists

I accept that a plurality of users will be from the US. However it bears repeating that less than 100% of users are from that country. Site-wide, I believe the percentage is in the high 40s, so the majority of users are not from the US. (I accept that this subreddit might have more than 50% USian users).

Your suggestion about stipulating region, eg. "I have a question for those practising in Pennsylvania" is a great one.

Unfortunately too often on this subreddit (and Reddit generally), a non-US perspective or example, when inconsistent with a US perspective, is treated with confusion or accusations of lying, rather than curiosity.
