Re:Have we overestimated the effectiveness of psychotherapy? by jm__87 on Saturday July 14, 2018 @04:16PM (#17532139)
Advertisers nudge you to do something you sort of already want to do. The amount of effort required to buy things is minimal and buying things you want to buy is usually enjoyable.

On the other hand, going to therapy is forcing yourself to do something that is difficult, sometimes painful and requires a lot of effort and resources (both time and money). I don't see the relationship between voluntarily going to therapy and advertising inducing you to buy things.
