yes and it's worth it. taking care of your mental health is still underrated
don't be afraid to switch therapists, not everyone is gonna be right for you
I tried it a few times when i was younger and hated it but tried it again recently and got one that i really like a lot, the right one is important
I start seeing one tomorrow
Good luck!! hope it goes well and y'all click
I used to. A lot of them are weird
I think understanding yourself, epigenetic makeup, and familial history would greatly benefit anyone
I think almost every person I’ve talked to should probably see one at least once
I’m probably a worse person morally in the time after I saw one, but A. It isn’t because of that and B. I feel like I’m in a better spot as a human bc of what I learned from there
Just don’t do group therapy if you’re really f***ed up bc that’ll give you a pass to not really expose yourself too much (depending on the moderator)
I did until my therapist told me I sound entitled on three different occasions all because I hated working for a job he considered good paying out of college

You sound entitled
Been seeing the same therapist for 3 years in August. He's seen me through a lot of s***.
You sound entitled
This was a job that made me miserable to the point I had to go to therapy in the first place, working 80 hour weeks some weeks and 50+ hours for half the year. I’ve always valued my mental well-being over everything else in my life, but thanks for the input.
i did from august 2018 to july 2019, it didn’t do much of anything for me. i eventually stopped going because i felt like i was wasting money and she’d also always tell me to put myself out there or give me some task to do and I never ended up doing them.
At some point I just felt like I was disappointing her(I disappoint my mom enough already, last thing I need is to worry about whether or not I’m disappointing my therapist). Like I was coming into every session anxious as s*** about telling her I didn’t take her advice, felt like coming to school without your homework done lol
lol yeah
no i hold my internal circle of friends and or family hostage and start venting on a whim until i reach catharsis
At what point did u need therapy?
Does it help?
going thru it... I don't like throwing my problems onto friends bc people do it to me and i know what it feels like
Nah I got a dog
Feel like it’s f***ed up you gotta pay somebody to listen to you be real about your feelings… people so self centered

the benefits of therapy are felt throughout people's families, friends and community, it means they often don't have to fixate on their own issues and feelings so much and can be more present for other people as a result
