Arthur Brooks (2026) argues in The Free Press that therapy is not supposed to make you happier. He says, “Therapy generally involves regular speaking sessions with a trained professional dedicated to addressing one’s emotional, behavioral, or mental-health challenges and teaching techniques to build coping skills and make positive changes. In lay terms, it aims to help a patient manage whatever is making her miserable, such as depression or anxiety.”
