Are therapists as judgmental as people make them out to be?

Therapists are not meant to judge anyone. They are wonderful people that we can talk to during difficult times. They can help guide us in the right direction when the path becomes blurred.

A therapist/a counsellors job is not to be judgemental and to be accepting, but its also human nature to judge and form opinions about people. So its a matter of whether the therapist is trained enough not to judge and to be accepting of your problems but I'd say a majority of them are non judgemental because that's what they train for.

No no no no NO. Some people might have chosen a bad therapist for them, and that might be what you heard. But therapy is such a marvelous tool. Therapy saved my life.

Therapists are like any other professional occupation. The only thing some of them could have in common is the name of their job, and they can vary from one another in terms of personality and style. Therapists are trained to deal with people's issues, so they've likely found a lot of people who are unsettled or unbalanced or in a bad place. Some therapists will be professional about it and just do their jobs, others may talk to their fellow therapists about it. It's more of a case-by-case basis.

Absolutely not. If you find the right therapist, they become your best friend. They are definitely not judge mental.

Sometimes, they can be, but not always. You want to find one that isn't, and fits you well. If you run into a therapist who is judging you and is trying to change any part of you that is not an issue and or not helpful, do not hesitate to drop them and find another.

Not all therapists are as judgmental as people say, there are a wide spectrum of therapists out there. Some are judgmental but if you get a good one they will simply listen to what you have to say.

Every therapist is different, and in my experience none of them have been judgmental. They want to help you, they will sit and ask you about yourself and try their best to understand you.
