If you find sex with a stranger okay there is nothing wrong with a prostitute. If you find laying bare your emotional self with a stranger okay there is nothing wrong with a therapist.

Not sure what argument you’re trying to make here.

I would consider them both to be experts.

Not so:

It’s very different a stranger that wants to have sex with me because they want to, rather than just because they were given money.

Also: even if not the majority, volunteer psychologists are a thing.
