It pissed me the fuck off on my therapist didn't want to share anything at all about their life with me.

I mean I understand they had to keep it professional, but it felt pretty alienating. I wasn't even looking to be their friend I was just trying to get perspective on things I was talking about, or see if they thought one way or another on something.

Fuck you Tom you lame ass mark.

I go to therapy but it's free cause I'm such a mess lol

I want to see a psychologist or psychiatrist but the price holds me back.

I'm in Australia and they're very expensive.

Feels like it would just be cheaper/easier to just "man up"

I just write in a journal and see a shrink for meds. It's way cheaper than a therapist and it's basically the same thing, just without the idiot on the other end making snide remarks.

If you have real social anxiety youre going to need pills. Ignore the therapy shit and get a psychiatrist.

Haha that's funny, my last one was an old middle aged Jew who would never shut the fuck up about his daughter and how his condo board wasn't allowing him to buy a second condo, eventually I was the one who became the therapist, lasted two years with him.

Try mindfulness meditation for anxiety, really. It's free as fuck and is helpful.

I honestly do believe that a good therapist ends up becoming a friend, at least in a certain light. They should care about you. If nothing else they should give a shit that your fucking funding their life so you're their bread and butter, and they should give a shit about that.


>FUCK YOU TOM. ELECTROSHOCK!

If you get a mental health plan you can get 10 sessions free. It's not a lot but it's something. Some psychs will also reduce their prices for you.

oh god how does this happen

Is this murican thing to go to therapist for simplest of things?

>>34833832
Yes, though I don't subscribe to it.
You need a really smart person to be able to actually break through and help you if you have an actual problem.

Talking to someone because you had a bad day or don't have a girlfriend is not something you need a therapist for, but everyone sends their kids to or goes to a therapist for bullshit like this.

My mother pushed me to go to therapists since like 5th grade until 11th grade
Fucking insufferable lot, near the end I started quoting random movies or shit to see if they were paying attention and surprise surprise they weren't

I honestly don't know if my new therapist is helping.
My last one was the best, but she moved. We were basically friendly from day 1 and talked a lot, as you would with a colleague.
My new one is... hands-off? She doesn't interject much, or provide much in the way of her own opinions. She's gotten a lot right in the end, but mainly she sits still and silent for most of the session and only stops to briefly talk about how I'm feeling at long intervals.
Also she's German, and new enough at the English language that she sometimes doesn't know a word, so there's that.
I guess I just feel like she's only a person to project my words at.
