A quick definition of sweatshop:

Term: SWEATSHOP

Definition: A sweatshop is a place where workers are made to work very hard for long hours in poor conditions and for very little pay. It is often used to describe factories or businesses that exploit their workers and do not provide them with fair wages or safe working conditions. Some people also use the term to describe law firms or other workplaces where employees are expected to work extremely long hours without much time for their personal lives.

A more thorough explanation:

A sweatshop is a business where workers are subjected to harsh working conditions, long hours, and low pay. The term is often used to describe factories or workshops where workers are exploited for their labor.

For example, a clothing company may outsource its production to a sweatshop in a developing country where workers are paid very little and work in unsafe conditions. Another example is a law firm that requires its associates to work long hours with little time off, leading to burnout and a poor work-life balance.

These examples illustrate how sweatshops can exist in various industries and locations, and how they can harm workers' physical and mental health while benefiting the company's bottom line.

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.
