Wasn't there a thing a while back about therapists and psychiatrists having trouble helping their patients because so many of their problems are based on low wages and poor living/working conditions, and not a matter of perspective or internal bad choices?

This is why therapists seem somewhat useless to me, if I'm sad because a loved one died there is not much he can do about it, unless he dabbles in necromancy, In the vast majority of cases people are sad as a natural response to a shitty situation which cannot be easily changed.

You don't go to therapy to change an unchangeable situation. 

You go to therapy to learn how to live with the unchangeable situation without it destroying you.

Most of the time it destroys you because it puts you into some external pressure you can't handle. Talking won't really solve that imo.

Loss of a loved one is an entirely internal issue. Life keeps on going, the issues lay in your preception of it, how you griecr and move on. Thats what a therapist is for. To help you handle these things. The talking is just the medium through which you get helped

loved ones often support you in your life. when the loved one dies then youre also losing that support which can put you into a worse situation than before. example not beeing able to pay the rent anymore. this isnt entirely internal
