Eh, therapy can vary widely in quality.

And peoples lives can also vary in quality. If you're raised in a nest of narcissists it is likely you'll have a very skewed view on relationships and your idea of normal could be considerably different from the average and have negative effects on your social relationships. Sometimes you just need a 3rd party to tell you that's not normal.

Coming from a family of narcissists myself they quite adamantly stuck to the idea that therapy was a total scam. Though my observing their behaviors it is my believe they are really saying "Therapy is a total scam because they didn't tell me what I wanted to hear".
