Hello /adv/isors,
Does anyone here have any experience with psychotherapy? How did it go for you?
My life is ok but a bit repetitive and dissatisfying, I would like to get a broader experience from it. I don't feel much desire to do/try new things but I'm a bit bored of the things I'm doing now. I thought maybe psychotherapy could help me. Other recommendations also welcome. I've tried drugs and hookers, the novelty wore off...
I saw a therapist for anxiety I was dealing with. It helped

Would you be so kind as to give a modicum more detail? What kind of things did you do or talk about?

So the first session, my therapist just let me talk the whole time and took notes. That way he could figured out what was actually causing me trouble. He didn't make me say anything I didn't want to, and didn't push questions. So that was the first session.
The following sessions he would tell me ways I could counter my problems. He gave me ways to calm down and to relieve anxiety in different situations. Which did help
The thing I liked about it was it wasn't just a bitch fest. It wasn't just me venting everyday. He actually taught me ways to fight my anxiety

1. Analysis: Rolls up all the shit that happened in your life and analyze it. (What im doing). Basically a mental prostate treatment
2. Deep funded psychology: also has to do a lot with subconcious.
3. Behavioral therapy: more practical approach, therapist names you thing you can do

it's worth trying
best if you can figure out (mostly) what things you want to talk about
and try to pick somebody you can talk to, this may be more important than you realize
