The first thing that comes to mind when someone suggests you need to see a therapist is usually interpreted as an insult or punishment. It is not difficult to come across those words being thrown around as a way of getting back at someone on social media after a disagreement.

And as a result, it carries some stigma. Most people completely write off the idea of seeking therapy because they assume it is meant for mentally unstable people or reserved for only extreme cases.
