Therapists

geometrypixiegirl

a glaring problem with therapists is they’re all yuppie professional types and that means there’s certain things you can’t convey because they’ve no real internal model for it. as in, try to talk to them about the fear of a totally administered society and you can see they have to pause and try to imagine why a person might find that to be bad. I kind of think anyone who wants to do that work should have to take some kind of sacred vow of poverty as in - all your worldly needs are taken care of but you must eschew the fine silks and gold adornments.

The entire fourth paragraph of this article is exactly what the OP is referring to:

Gaining acceptance into graduate school or medical school and achieving a PhD or MD and becoming a psychologist or psychiatrist means jumping through many hoops, all of which require much behavioral and attentional compliance to authorities, even to those authorities that one lacks respect for. The selection and socialization of mental health professionals tends to breed out many anti-authoritarians. Having steered the higher-education terrain for a decade of my life, I know that degrees and credentials are primarily badges of compliance. Those with extended schooling have lived for many years in a world where one routinely conforms to the demands of authorities. Thus for many MDs and PhDs, people different from them who reject this attentional and behavioral compliance appear to be from another world—a diagnosable one.
