My therapist explained it like that. You have certain reactions and feelings to certain triggers or environments. By going to the therapy you talk about it, figure out why do you react in a certain way and eventually you developed new neural pathways on top of those old ones with unpleasant reactions. But this is for psychoanalysis, other types might work differently, but general idea is similar from what I understand.

Also this is normal to go through a huge amount of therapists, mine said that finding a fitting one for you is about as hard as finding a perfect wife/husband.

Front panel usually just has the headers (the connectors), with wires leading to the USB controllers (the chips that do all the USB functions) on the computer's motherboard.

So ultimately all costs are NOT equal, the USB chip may be able to control only so many USB 3 devices, but a lot more USB 2 devices, so a company may put a lot more USB 2 headers on the front panel than they could USB 3 headers.

There is a data bandwith limitation. And there's a chip shortage / chip cost limitation too.

What I learned from therapy is that the point is to learn effective skills for coping with life's challenges. It won't fix all your problems but it'll teach you how to stop making them worse by behaving irrationally due to mental and emotional stress. With effective coping mechanisms, you can start building a life you feel is worth living.

Money laundering is NOT what they are talking about though. There is a section on the 1040 where they ask you to declare income from illegal activities.

Money that has been laundered would be filed under the section pertaining to however you laundered it.

OP is asking why they have that line there

What do you hope to gain from going to therapy? Why did you seek therapy to begin with?

Are you stressed? Anxious? Eating problems? Depressed? Angry? Lonely? Sad? Overwhelmed? Experienced trauma?

Find your SPECIFIC adjective and you’ll find the point of therapy for YOU.

For me, I was anxious, overwhelmed, and had an eating disorder. I sought therapy to help me feel peace and understanding. I met with her every other week for 2 years and I’ve learned so much about myself and the way I think. She’s insightful without being judgmental and challenges me to look from another viewpoint.

You go to a therapist so they can hold up a mirror to you and you can start to really see whats causing you a problem.

And then they help you find a solution that would work for you. After that, you need to put efforts in.

Sometimes they cant help you because you arent telling the whole truth, sometimes youre not mentally or physically ready to seek help, and sometimes the therapist cant help you, for many different reasons

If you saw 14 therapist and none of them helped at all, you might need to take a minute and really ask yourself if and how you want to get help.

If you have any questions you can reach out, I am a lisenced therapist. Sometimes theres nothing I can do to help someone other than to refer them to another therapist.

In a few words, is to get better, perform better, live better, happier.

Is it that needed? no cause people can live fine performing worse, living worse, and living less happy, etc.

In the end most of the times it makes sense cause it makes economic sense, spend x money+x time to perform better the rest of the years is cost effective.

Like running with deflated tires, sure you can run with deflated tires fine for years until the car goes bust but inflating them takes so little time and is cheap.

Or living your entire life without shoes, shoes are not needed but you perform better with them.
