Do you have a therapist?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't have a therapist as such. I do see a psychiatrist twice a year but that's more to do with medication.

Therapy doesn't really work well for me because I cannot verbalise myself very well.

An example of this is when I was about 15 I got a probation order for 3 years (I would class probation as therapy for crime), I saw the same officer once a week for those three years and I hardly uttered a single word to him.

I am selective mute though but I didn't tell him that.

I have a therapist who I see about once a week. I look forward to my visits as I find it rewarding to learn how to talk about my feelings. I have spent 40 years bottling my feelings up. It's nice finally to have somebody that will listen to me instead of just dismissing my feelings.

I hate my therapist because she harasses me, is totally useless, and wants my parents' money.

I've been quite anti-therapist for a long time, but I've recently been considering trying one as I've been a bit of a mess mentally of late because of life circumstances. Perhaps just trying to see more of my friends could be as helpful though... I think my main group of friends have only seen me once or twice in the past two years...
