@Hephaestic a self help group is a kind of therapy though, and that creature is either a therapist or just the official leader of the group given the nametag and they're standing at the front near a projector.
but at that point i'm reading too much into it lol all i'm excited for is the influx of judy porn
The millennial definition of "therapy" is more like a religious ritual or communist struggle session where you bare your soul before a proscribed member of the priest caste and have your sins absolved with prescription drugs; you are never encouraged to change except in the direction of becoming more like what the system wants. I may be out of touch, but a self-help group like Alcoholics Anonymous is more like a guided conversation with other people who acknowledge they have a problem. Very different social dynamic; it doesn't feel like a classroom.
AA and its offshoots in particular also have an explicitly Christian background, and even though they've sanitized the literature to say "higher power" instead of God, the message is obvious.
To put it more bluntly: therapy affirms pride, self-help affirms humility.
