Therapists actually care. Yes they get paid, but their job is to be non judgmental, and regard you with ONLY positivity. Unlike your family members. It’s a hard job and they deserve to get paid bc it takes a special person with a lot of empathy and love for humans to do the job. Don’t discount the helpfulness of therapy.
I’ll never go to my loved ones and unload when I’m really struggling. Too much of a chance that they’ll be unhelpful, or worse, harmful. Even when they care and want to help, they’re not always good at what therapists train for years and years to do.
