Thus far, counselling and therapy is almost entirely only obtained by the portion of the group that has already acted on their thoughts and urges. I think we can agree that that’s probably too late in terms of harm prevention. I also doubt we have the resources to provide that sort of personal treatment to everybody suffering from the issue, at least under our current system.

You think counseling or therapy is entirely ineffective?

But that doesn’t mean we should give up
I’m not suggesting we do, that was not the point of the original discussion.
