nothing to be ashamed of.. just curious about your thoughts of the visit, if it helped you, gave you inspiration or comfort.. etc
has anyone here seen a psychiatrist or therapist?
Posted by mysteriousTaurusYou should probably see one if you're wondering about it.

Yes. Three times in my life I saw a therapist, meaning three times I had several sessions with one. Two were very good therapists - down to earth - , one was so-so. But all were helpful. There are some bad ones out there, but often if a person really wants to work on things even a mediocre therapist can be helpful.
There are parts of therapy that can be painful, when facing difficult emotions and memories and flaws in oneself, and one thing that can happen is that you can have a really good session and feel great then get hit with some tough emotions within the next few days that make you feel like shit. It's fairly common for that to happen, and not bad, just part of the process of working on things and moving through them.
But the main thing is that a person has to be willing to work on things in order for therapy to work. The work isn't just done in the therapy session, there is homework to do.
It's too bad there are some crummy therapists out there, but no shame in switching and not continuing with someone if you don't feel it's the right fit.

Best thing I ever did for myself! 🙂
shortly after the 9/11 tragedy my ex and i broke up and the whole thing was very traumatic for me. I spoke to a psychologist and she helped me get over the break up and on my feet again. i would recommend it. no drugs needed (or wanted). if you are worried about privacy, you can ask when you make the appointment.

Posted by Cricket808thats wonderful, good for you!
I've seen both. I felt a lot better after my sessions.
Posted by exxtasyxlol aw, bummer, why dont you go back to therapist number one then?
Saw one in 2011 for about a year who was incredible... She was also really smart because she mentioned to me a few times that she could tell I was "reading" her. Oh snap!
Currently seeing one since last Fall. It's for my anxiety issues and other personal things. I've come a long way since I started seeing the second psychologist but I have to be honest, I'm not 100% open with him and I don't tell him my deepest, darkest shit. I also asked him what his sign was and he's a Taurus lol. A Taurus psychologist ... Explains why he doesn't really understand complex emotions.
Posted by exxtasyxoh darn, but if youre not happy with the taurus guy, find another, dont settle, especially if you have health insurance, take full advantagePosted by mysteriousTaurusShe no longer works there anymore and I can't track her down. lol.Posted by exxtasyxlol aw, bummer, why dont you go back to therapist number one then?

Best thing I ever did, and I wish I had done it a long time ago.
Going on two years. She's an angel.
I had bad stomach issues, tied into extreme anxiety. GAD, PTSD as well. I definitely thought I needed medication. Started seeing a psychologist and she referred me to see a psych for meds, but I ended up never going for the meds.
Stomach issues gone, anxiety gone. She never tells me what to do but always helps me figure out what to do.
No judgement, ever. It's about my growth, health and development and no one else's.
First person I saw was a guy whose office smelled like bad breath, and he he kept asking me to repeat things I said, and he wrote everything down in teeny writing in a small notebook. Two sessions and I knew he wasn't the one to help me.

I had counselling but to be honest I found my tarot reader more therapeutic. I didn't need to tell her how I felt or why I felt that way because the cards told her. She gave me a lot of support and advice whereas my counsellor just listened to what I wanted to tell her and some of the things that were bothering me the most I couldn't bring myself to tell her. With my tarot reader I didn't need to tell her anything, she knew

Yes I totally have...found it beneficial for the short term reasons I was going to one, but didn't find it particularly necessary for long-term things I needed to work on.
Was still interesting and he gave me lots of good homework.

Thought about it many times but I have some fear about it... the thought of expressing my thoughts for one hour terrifies me hahaha...
I found one to deal with severe anger management issues. I got tired of breaking shit, damn you mars in cancer making yourself known! Talking to someone, hell even yelling at someone, got me on the right track with coping mechanisms.
Posted by FutureSeekerWhat's your speciality?Posted by mysteriousTaurusAlways a job demand. I'm in Texas right now. Been in the field 15 years. Pay can be good- depends on what the specialty is. When I first started out, it was definitely not for the pay. 🙂Posted by FutureSeekerNice!!!! Do you mind me asking you what state you live in? Is the pay good?

Divorce therapist. It helped and opened my eyes on who I was, how I was replaying my parent's marriage, and why I doomed until I fixed myself.
