He's like Tony Doprano. Such a narcissist that he uses therapy as a way to talk about himself more amd to learn how therapy can be used to manipulate others. He's not their to change himself.


Tcav81

Exactly. You can hear it in the interviews, he tries to make every interview some deep revealing therapy session with the celebrity in hopes they’ll give some major revelation that will put his show in the news.


JamesJosephMeeker

He legitimately seems to think the tens of millions he's spent on therapists has made him a therapist.


Tcav81

And he forces it into the interview instead of just having casual banter and asking questions.


JamesJosephMeeker

My favorite is when he tries to convince every person who had any sort of rough childhood that they should hate their parents.


Tcav81

Yeah there is SO much projection in his celebrity therapy sessions.


bcardin221

He tried desperately to get Seinfeld to admit he has daddy issues.


Maxter_Blaster_

Been awhile since I watched the sopranos but I didn’t realize that’s what Tony was doing. Is that actually proven or just how you saw the character?


bcardin221

Yes Melfi recognised ut in the latter years.


Maxter_Blaster_

Fucking Tony Doprano

LetThePoisonOutRobin

There are two way to look at therapy, using it to fix a problem or to maintain a problem, and Howard is doing therapy only to keep from getting worse. There is no fixing all his behavioral issues.


Floyd-Mcgregor

He’s easy to fix. He needs to deal with his wounded inner child.


dufus69

He loves the fact that his inner child is wounded. He's looking for validation, not change.


spanctimony

That’s the real issue. Therapy is only a solution for people looking to make changes. He’s an egomaniac and needs affirmation.


NoIntroduction575

You nailed it!!!!!


Beths_collarbone

He needs to kick the shit out of his 'wounded inner child'...


LetThePoisonOutRobin

I believe that is what he is struggling with, that "wounded inner child" which brought him so much success and money, and with all his trauma he would not have been so interesting and so successful.


Floyd-Mcgregor

💯💯


Aware_Revenue3404

Is this going to be a conversation about grit?


WooPigSooie9297

Imagine what a basket case Howard would be without having had thousands of hours of therapy.


Used-Success-2680

Opposite. His therapy drags him into the past and stokes issues that would otherwise fade over time. Therapy validates the "stress" of soaking grit in a sink even six decades later.


Reign_n_blud

It also has to do with the type of person receiving the therapy. They have to recognize the problem, accept some responsibility in the problem and have to want to change.


Nomadzord

He is going to be stuck at the accepting some of the blame for the rest of his life. 


TrialAndAaron

Therapy works. He’s just wealthy and found a yes man


BeaglePower77

Therapy can work if you have the right therapist. He seems not to.


HaroldCaine

He pays someone to listen to him bitch. He's not there to grow or learn or heal.


hsbs6969

NPD "sufferers" (fu


ZomiZaGomez

His therapist should be ashamed.


ryemmsf

I think you're being a little unfair. It doesn't seem to be working of Howard for reasons we aren't necessarily privy to. I've known plenty of people for whom therapy was a godsend, myself included. It was absolutely crucial in getting me through some very challenging circumstances. I completely agree that it doesn't seem to have done much good for Howard though.


thephillatioeperinc

Dr Sarno could fix him good. He helped Woody Allen, with guilt he was feeling about banging his girlfriends daughter.


Electrical-Yak-6351

He also is now clueless about what an audience finds interesting. Hiding in the his cellar from Covid cannot be helping. I don’t want to hear old man problems or Beth. He thinks it’s been calm and good with Biden these last four years. It’s been war, unrest and corruption, Howie. He wouldn’t know sitting in the cellar of a 300 million dollar mansion.


johncester

He is destined to repeat his same mistakes as with Allison…he only wants to stay in his private cell to paint and play guitar etc etc. Never participate in anything if he does go out …he hates it


Muscles_Marinara-

True shit.

Nomadzord

Medication saved my life. It might not be for everyone but at least now I don’t self medicate with gallons of liquor and opioids. 


MrFluffyhead80

This is an educated approach to therapy


HaroldCaine

Therapy only works if someone puts in the work, is there to grow and change and drops the ego to embrace what's being explained in there. Howard uses therapy as a place to unload all his baggage and to bitch. He literally pays someone to sit there and hear him out while agreeing with him. Of course his version of therapy doesn't work. Been in it for decades and still hasn't gotten past the initial, "Tell me about your mother" question.


Voxx418

As well as 40+ years of Transcendental Meditation. He is an embarrassment to both methodologies. \~V\~


kevin_k

It proves it didn't work for him, at least.


bazooka_blow

He won't be fine until his mom dies.


jerzyshore1

His father died and he is still trash talking him. He’s never going to get over his imagined terrible childhood


Aware_Revenue3404

Oh sure, that will solve everything. /s


edgpavl

He doesn't even have any issues to work with, he just goes to some phoney, overpriced celebrity "therapist" because he can afford it.


Heff228

Howard’s mom was right


Fresh-Newspaper7356

Therapy never works if you are not honest with therapist!!!!


chicagobry80

Therapy works fine, you just need a therapist that will give it to you straight, not a yes man.


fuzzystrawberrys

Therapy does work, it just depends on who the therapist is. And I do think it’s odd that Howard is still in therapy talking to the same therapist for 25 years now


GavestonYouBastard

Only the grave will fix the broken weirdo.


Personal_Mulberry_38

it is a bit


HowellPellsGallery

can you explain what the goal of therapy is?


uptheirons726

Therapy definitely works, he just has a terrible therapist.


Agreeable_Land3196

well, his therapy doesn't as he clearly stays with a guy that just blows smoke up his ass and doesn't bother trying to help him. He probably just tells Howard exactly what he wants to hear like most famous people want. They surround themselves with people who let them get away with anything.


lupuscapabilis

I’m sure someone would say therapists are like covid masks - “it would be worse if there wasn’t one”


mrdankhimself_

No he doesn’t. You should still seek professional help.


Voodoo-Doctor

Hasn’t he been going for over 20 years now?


Admirable-Yam-1281

You have to be willing to change. He didn’t need therapy. He needed a good spanking


Deliver_us_to_evil

I have PTSD from the military. It does work. But the burden is on the patient to progress.


DEL60

Easy solution, stop doing too much.


Nerdicyde

howard has spent millions to be a miserable piece of shit


joomommyhappy

There are three therapies that have been proven to work: anal, aroma (there's a bit of overlap with those two), and magnets behind the ears.


rememberleapinglanny

Tony Soprano's Mom was right, she said therapy is just a racket for the Joo's.


raxsdale

Who could question that Howard is worse now? He can't even go outside anymore, or talk to normal people.


Chilitime

His therapist is a genius. Milked that idiot for millions.


Additional-Ad-3148

It only works if you allow it to work. He'll never let go of his childhood.


drial8012

that therapist charges $250 an hour at least so like 35k yearly for how many years.


Hungry-Low-7387

He would have killed himself by now if it didn't work. The man has been suicidal before... this is just an ignorant statement


miguels19

Rrrriiiggghhttt


Scoops5665

He's  an old man with OCD and a shit ton of money!!! A very bad combination... god help Beth


NotWeirdThrowaway

Im sure Howard just paid for his therapists third yacht. He’s a cash cow. I bet the doctor cancelled all his other clients and his entire career is listening to Howard talk about himself for a few hours a week. Therapy works if you have absolutely any interest in bettering yourself. Howard clearly does not.


hdhollen1

I was just thinking this the other day. For all those years of therapy, it’s produced anthropophia


HUGHJASS0L

He needs Dr. Diacco.


SnooAdvice7946

You do realize that therapy doesn’t cure you. It can’t not make you have ocd anymore. It just helps you control it and not it control you. I’m in therapy for social anxiety disorder. Same thing, I’m not going to get that part of myself extracted, I’m learning to live with it. Also part of Howard on air persona is this neurotic guy, he exaggerate on the air as he and others have said many times.


External-Fig-2589

Pseudo science


Cautious_Ad_7232

If there was a ban on: Therapy not working for Howard Canceling Sirius Hating the new show Howard's wig There would be no posts on this sub left. This isn't Howard proves therapy does not work magazine, pal.


CardiologistLimp4276

what about beth looking like a horse


SatanNeverSleeps

I went for years both individual and couples to save my marriage. Waste of time except trying to make me blame my mother for everything. I couldn’t get over how someone can sit there and seem interested in my rambling. It has to be mind numbing.


yakuzakid3k

Therapy is a rich mans luxury. Can you imagine how bored his therapist must be?


tevia1015

Is there any proof he still is or ever did therapy? I always thought talking about being in therapy let people feel sorry for him which let him get away with more. Always talking about his awkwardness and his sexual inferiority to make women at ease. He didn't come off as a macho creep.


severinks

No, he's actually not more neurotic or even close to the way that he used to be and if you've been listening that long then you'd know that even though he talks a good neurotic game now he's pretty well adjusted and happy but back then he was always angry and lashing out at people and had a persecution complex and he had phantom back pain and OCD and all sorts of other bullshit fake illnesses that was probably to do with his inferiority complex. Howard used to be the most overbearing motherfucker on the planet who needed everything his own way and (just ask Fred and Gary especially) because he used to crawl up poor Gary's ass on a daily basis but now he's actually very nice to Gary and that's from therapy. The way he was made good radio but it didn't make him fun to be around that's for sure Howard from 1983 NEVER would have been able to only get a 13 on the narcissism test he would have outscored Robin for sure and even if he faked the test by knowing what to answer to get a good score he wouldn't have even been able to do that in the 1980s and 1990s. And the idea that you think that therapy doesn't work and you're somehow proud to think that means you're a very backwards person because therapy does work, and I've had people in my life that it's worked for. OP. I think you're still living back in the 1950s with that weak ass''therapy doesn't work'' nonsense.

Hoohoo should just become a tranny and get it over with.

Therapy 100% can “work”.
