You do a cursory investigation on what "therapy" is and the come back here and tell us why my definition of therapy is strange. When someone refers others to therapy in a generic sense, why do you think that's effectively the same as suggesting self actualization? Is the other party looking for self actualization, or are they probably looking to figure out the root of their problems?

You are saying that therapy is just about treating a pathology. And that suggesting therapy means someone is broken. I am disagreeing with you.

See for example humanistic therapy.
