Oh, where to begin with this one? There's no YKTTW, the article is far from healthy (12 links to the page and 4 inbounds), a few of examples don't go into eonough detail to determine if it is an example, and the name suggests something different from what the trope actually is due to suffering from a bad case of Trope Namer Syndrome. It's actually all about people rejecting therapy for whatever reason, instead of just portraying those who get therapy as weak

It's kind of light on examples - I'm pretty sure this trope is common.

semi-related, can I replace the page quote with the 30 Rock quote in the example section?

->I believe that when you have a problem you talk it over with your priest, or your tailor, or the mute elevator porter at your men's club. Then you take that problem and you crush it with your mind-vise. But for lesser beings, like curly haired men, or people who need glasses, therapy can help.

isn't that the first sentence of the description?

Clocking due to lack of activity.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

There Are No Therapists is basically what it says on the tin. This is people think therapy is for wimps and even though people may suggest it they resist it.

Yeah, the name seems clear enough to me. The lack of examples might be best addressed by a spin through YKTTW.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
