Ever been in therapy?

Featured Replies

Just wondering...

 

If you haven't, would you like to see someone or do you think you need to? :D

Well........I've never been in therapy.........but sometimes I think I need one!

I think it is good for everyone to have someone impartial to talk to every once in a while. Of course, not everyone can, but it would be nice.

i never did... but thought about having last year (i'm serious)...

i've never been in therapy but i think i'd like to be ... you know, i honestly think that those people good help me (i'm not kidding)

i've never been in therapy and you're right saintcity but i really don't see myself telling very personal things to someone i don't know....

I've been in therapy off and on for about 3 years. I would recommend it to anyone because it's really beneficial. I lucked out, though, 'cause I have a therapist who I really like and trust. That's really important.

sometimes it's easier lilas ;) ... there is a lot of personal things that i can't tell people i know...

Once you get used to it, you would be amazed how much you can share with someone.

( :lol: lilas...)

 

yes i understand but to tell someone you have never seen it's a really strange idea to me....the first session sould be really weird right? but when you get used to your therapist it should be all good....

i believe the first session usually used to gain trust... then you go to serious stuff...

it has to be! but only the first one? i think i would need way more than one session!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

it would cost you a lot!!!!

:lol: :lol: i would have to be rich to ever be in therapy!

Well.......it's logical........most rich people need a therapy because they suffer from the richness!

I've been in therapy since October, with a session once a week. I also see a psychiatrist. Both people I really respect, and they have helped me beyond anything. It wasn't really a choice of mine to go, my parents basically made the decision for me. My dad's a psychiatrist, too, so I guess before I went I wasn't extremely worried, because I don't have that strange fear of doctors. I live with one! :lol:

 

I think everyone should have a therapist of some kind. It's nice to have an unbiased opinion towards things that you think and feel. Even if you feel perfectly happy, there's always something that you can work on inside yourself. I was a bit nervous going to the first session, but then again I have an anxiety disorder so I get nervous about EVERYTHING. Still, I had no idea what I was going to say. The second I walked in, though, my therapist made it very comfortable. I had my U2 shirt on and she immediately asked me if I liked them, and I told her yes. She asked me if I had seen them and I told her about the two times I had and the two more times I was going to. It was very nice, she did ask some personal questions, but that's to be expected.

 

There's no reason to be scared of psychiatrists or therapists. There are, like any professional, the bad ones. You should ask around before you make an appointment. But once you find someone good and trustworthy, then it can be the best 15 dollar copay you ever use. :lol: ;)

ive thought about it.... seriously. most of my friends i try to talk to ignore me and start talking about how many friends they have or how popular they are. makes me feel great. then my parents.. eff no. there are some things you cant even go to your parents to. its just, i would feel so awkward talking out everything personal to someone im just PAYING to listen to me. seems like no one will listen without a little doe...

 

oh god im feeling square one.. "you just want.. somebody listening to what you say.. it doesnt matter who you are..."

I have. Some teacher made me go to a psychologist when I was like eleven, for he had some personal problems with me, I suppose. First I didn't really realise what it was all about because nobody explained me. I was just told that I have to go there. Fistly he seemed to be really nice and asked me what I wanted to do, and I didn't mind the therapy at all. But after having been there five or six times he started asking me very personal questions. I didn't understand his sudden change probably, all I remeber is that I really started hating him. I didn't understand why he asked me those things and the things he wanted me to do seemed just very weird.

i have been in therapy from my 10 years old till about 3 years ago .. i still think i didn't need it though

yeah, 3 or 4 years ago. but not for a long time 'cause it was kinda crappy.

isn't that the reason for your therapy :lol:

For me it was just a horrible experience and I don't think it helped me at all. When I told my parents that I didn't want to go to the threapy anymore, I had to go for other two years.

 

I think you can make a child do a therapy, but you can't make someone trust the psychologist. If you don't, you don't want to talk about personal things and the whole threapy seems pointless.

Therapy? Of course!

Usually every friday and saturday evening, sometimes I urgently need some therapy in the middle of the week as well.

My therapist's called Dr. Jim Beam, by the way - highly recommended!
