One of big hurdles with therapy is finding a therapist that won’t gaslight me with capitalist propaganda when I express political or career angst. Being well adjusted to an insane system is not the goal I’m looking for.

This really depends on where you are located and what degree/license the therapist has.
For example, I’m a licensed clinical social worker in the Denver metro area. I got a ton of education on the issues of power, oppression, and privilege in grad school. All my colleagues are aware of those issues and would fully support you in your view.
But go South, and it becomes harder to find a therapist who is aware and won’t push god and religion on you.
In general, if you want more anti-capitalist therapists, lean towards social workers and check out the www.inclusivetherapists.com directory.

Going to therapy to hear that you need god in your life… Omg

Yup… happened to my friend who lives in Mississippi, and a few of my clients. One person was raped by their church camp counselor, but that didn’t stop their former therapist from suggesting religion. I honestly don’t understand how someone can be so tone deaf.
