I am from Europe, Poland so pretty backward country. Not sure if I understood you correctly, you think therapy is more prevalent in the US?

Therapy doesn't always have to be focused on very negative illness like depression or anxiety. It can help with positive sides of psychology. Maybe calling therapy a coaching session would be more appropriate in my post, but tbh it's almost the same thing

Its quite unusual for people to go to therapy here unless they have been traumatised. We certainly don't openly talk about going to a therapist the way Americans do.
