Every negative emotion I have, I’m told to go to therapy.
Negative emotions are human!
Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

The last one I saw was.
Cool. That’s sort of better… but it might not be, really.
For instance, you’d think commisions are bad because they push salespeople to sell you things you don’t need. So you’d think NOT having commissions are GOOD; but that is marketing, because every salesperson has metrics and goals, and if they don’t meet them, there are consequences.
Source: Worked at Best Buy, where customers were so happy that we didn’t take commission but didn’t know that our supervisors would chew us out if we didn’t sell a membership or get a credit card application.
So it depends on how the system is implemented.
Conflating therapists with sales people is a real good indicator that you need therapy.
Not knowing whether public healthcare has good outcomes is one hell of an ignorant take.
Therapists and sales people both exist in a capitalist systems and so are under similar pressures. (Edit: Unless, of course, they aren’t! Assuming US context here, I can’t speak to every therapists in every country in the world).
Here is one of MANY complaints from therapists about working in clinics where they are tracked on how many hours they are seeing clients / no shows / etc.

Hey man, looks like you exist in a toxic system that is colouring your perspective.
Yeah, a toxic system that is coloring my perspective on that toxic system?
I think therapy can be very helpful for people. If it’s helped you, that’s great!
However, nothing is above criticism, and to put anything above criticism is really dangerous.
Maybe start with that the next time and think about what can happen when you just open your mouth and spew general falsehoods.
Can you state the general falsehoods please?
Edit: I think your view of therapy might be a little bit irrational if you’re responding this emotionally to any criticism.
I think you are reading into things and getting information that’s not there.
Implying I’m being emotional is quite the projection.
