Anyways, share your shrinks analasyises here.

If they're messed up enough, I'll tell yas mine.

i remember hearing Howard Stern talk about his "therapy " that he has taken for years ....

i truly believe ... that if money was not object ... we should all go to therapy in some ways ...

sympathy bump

There is nothing wrong with seeking therapy..

where's blackadder when u need him?

I saw a psychologist a few times. It helped to talk to someone who was not directly involved and who just listened without passing judgment. Sometimes just talking out loud about crap makes you actually ingest what you are feeling. It did for me anyway.

Overall, I'd say it helped get the ball rolling in regards to dealing with a lot of stuff that I needed to deal with.

THANK GOD

I'm normal

me too!

oh and sure i just remember bawling a lot and the person not being able to get a word in edgewise. i was like a burst dam. and then i was pissed that time was over.

Well anyways.

My computer has a 'virus that could not be repaired' says (I think it was Norton).

Now what?

SureThing said:

Tell Norton it shouldn't repair the viruses, it's a bad idea.

i like the idea of therapy, but it's never worked out for me. i think i have bad luck in choosing therapists, kinda like murphy brown and receptionists. i tried getting one in new york and i wound up with a scary woody allen-ish guy who would sweat uncontrollably and had lobster red skin like he took too-hot showers. plus he'd sit there and shake and stare at me when i tried to talk abou tthings and i never knew when i was supposed to quit talking. it was creepy.

then i tried it again a couple of years ago and the therapist turned out to be a total new age shaman dude, and he wanted me to read a book on crystal healing and discuss it at our sessions. WTF?!

if therapists were normal, i might go to one.

I'm sure a normal therapist would advise you to respond to org notes, especially those that offer an olive branch.

I don't think my therapist was very helpful. She said a lot of nice things about me and then bascially said she didn't understand why I was seeing her. She said I could keep coming to her, but didn't think I needed it. I never knew what to say.

Daniella, you're threads inspire me to seek therapy!

CarrieMpls said:

That's weird. She should be able to see that even though a person has a healthy way of reasoning about their problems, it doesn't mean they're not depressed and in need of help.

CarrieMpls said:

Actually, my therapist did something along those lines. I woke up one week and realized that everything was broken. It's hard to describe it, but I knew that something was wrong. He didn't help much.

I eventually found religion as alot of desperate folks do, and that seemed to help more.

Imago said:

Yeah, that'll never work for me.

retina said:

You would think.
ah well.

I'm alright now. This was in 2005.

Imago said:

Ya know whats weird.

You actually spelled Daniella rite.

But, MY name is spelled Daniela.

it's only going to work if you're completely honest with yourself, and your therapist.

BlackAdder7 said:

right. gotcha

SureThing said:

and that's where therapy should start.....

I'm in therapy.

Yeah, well so far I didn't hear whats wrong with ya's.

Your all in denial.

As with any profession, there are good and bad therapists. A good one will help you get here:


- Alice (Woody Allen)

In 4th grade I wrote a poem and the words at the end of two verses didn't rhyme so when I had to read it aloud I kept mumbling those lines. The teacher made me see the school counseler b/c they thought I needs speech therapy. I was just embarrassed I couldn't think of a word that rhymed and made sense in the context of the poem.
