Moq, I agree with you. But that doesn’t resolve the catch-22 I described. How will you convince frum society to utilize psychologists and therapists when required for a young single, when they know one result will be greatly reduced shidduch prospects as a result of such therapy?
The only solution to the above catch-22 I can think of is to have these singles go for therapy but not tell a future shidduch potential (or anyone for that matter) that they had therapy. Effectively to deny it. And rely on doctor-client privilege to keep it under wraps. And then get married when the therapist feels s/he is okay to.
The alternative to that idea is that the single will skip all therapy, then be able to honestly say they never had therapy, and get married untreated with their mental-health problem unresolved.
If people will insist they must tell their shidduch they had therapy, the net result will be they wont go for therapy and get married without the needed therapy.
