I mean, you don’t have to accept the current state of the world as good or natural because of therapy

Honestly, the world seems like it’s always been a brutal place. Nature is fucked and most things die being eaten alive.

But you’d probably have to accept the state of the world is currently happening and that should be accepted becw, well, it is, regardless of good or bad.

Give it a try homie, talking things out with a professional can give you perspective of your own opinions and how they are formed, and how to process them in a way that is helpful.

It sounds like you don’t want to accept anything that might suggest your opinions or beliefs may not be 100% correct, or that someone else might be “more right” than you - which doesn’t sound healthy.

Therapy isn’t some trick, it should help you understand and accept your own limits as a human, healthy boundaries with others, how to begin trusting people or how to identify those who are more likely to be trustworthy, and give you better understanding of your own agency and how to let go of things that are beyond your control, or individual abilities to influence/change.

No amount of therapy with teams of the world’s greatest therapists will matter if you don’t want to understand and grow into a better version of yourself though!
