A quick definition of ambulance-chasing:

Ambulance-chasing is when a lawyer tries to get people who have been hurt to hire them as their lawyer. They might do this by going to the hospital or calling them on the phone. It's not a very nice thing to do.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ambulance-chasing is a type of solicitation where a lawyer or their agent tries to convince people who have been injured to hire them as their legal representative.

Example 1: After a car accident, a lawyer approaches the injured person at the scene and hands them a business card, urging them to call for legal representation.

Example 2: A lawyer runs ads on television or social media targeting people who have been in accidents, promising to get them the compensation they deserve.

These examples illustrate how ambulance-chasing involves lawyers actively seeking out clients who have been injured and may be vulnerable. It can be seen as unethical and exploitative, as the lawyer is often more interested in making money than in helping the injured person.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.

I would say yeah, they're helpful. But they can verge on unproductive and stress-inducing if you watch enough of them (especially the application read-through ones)
