Therapy Is USELESS?

[Anonymous]

I decided to go to a physcologist because a lot of people say go to therapy, it helps so much... If your depressed... etc.

The whole process was bad,

First it's so hard to find someone, then they all want crazy money $200 an hour...

It feels like they just care about a paycheck and don't even care/help you...

They waste time with forms, questionnaires and just give you some websites...

What's the point... ?

Like therapists should be ashamed of themselves, this field is not for a pay check.. But to actually help those In need...

But I guess this is why we have so many issues with mental health these days... We just can't get the help we need

Therapy is literally someone manipulating your thoughts and conditioning your subtle behaviors that trigger these toughts.
First, they gotta know who you are, hence the questionaires.

Some people here on G@G can read your personality through the way you type/profile picture and see a latent mental illness and test for it. Whether they choose to manipulate you then condition you. This is all based on whether they care. Some might...
This is for common anxieties, depression, and some fear.
Anything where you need medicine to control your mood, I'd go therapy.

Some people are just confused of themselves and they find it hard to trust anyone but their friends who sympathize but not all friends who sympathize are good at fixing and giving advises. That's why psychologists exists. They're certified and trusted. Sadly, some of them just don't even try and get in touch with you and I feel sorry for you having to go through that. Looking for a special friend who you can trust and who can actually fix you is way harder than looking for a therapist.

This is exactly why I am pursuing my dream of becoming a great counselor for people who need it. I love connecting with people and want to work with them on a personal level. Many counselors seem to just want their paycheck. I will be doing counseling for the experience and the amazing idea of truly helping people who need it.

Don't lose your vision about this in the future

[Natalie11299]

I won’t. I feel so strongly about this topic

[Asker]

Thanks

[BellePepper]

I’m sorry you found a bad one. I understand how frustrating and upsetting that can be.

Can you go online or call the health department and look for someone who specializes in your challenges?

[Asker]

My therapist did specialize in this... All they care about is money

[BellePepper]

Can you find someone new?

[Asker]

I don't have the money or time to waste... I can't afford $150 an hour times how many sessions I need

[BellePepper]

Your insurance doesn’t cover any of it,?

[Asker]

Already blew through my coverage

[BellePepper]

That’s so unfair! Are there any sliding scale clinics in your area?

[Asker]

How much can they really slide if they want $150?

[BellePepper]

Well it’s income based and they can help subsidize your treatment

[Asker]

I'm not low income, so they will charge me a full rate

[BellePepper]

You never know until you ask~

[Asker]

Just screw them... I'll just be miserable for the rest of my life

Healthcare is free here, and it's still bad. They all have agendas. My experiences with it have made me seriously doubt the legitimacy of the whole field.

[Asker]

Therapy is not covered :(

[Zero-Zulu]

Interesting I was getting to the point recently where I don’t know who to talk to. I was told to give therapy a try. But if it’s true I should probably stay away from that

[Asker]

It was just a waste for me, there are good websites on the net... I would rather dedicate a full day to mental health rather than waste a days pay for an hour

[Zero-Zulu]

Yeah cause really that a little too much money for an hour a day. Have you found something that’s help?

[andreasderjuengere]

Most therapies are unnecessary. They are a business and a consumer habit.
Some therapies make sense.

[CuriousMufuxka]

There is no point. The only thing I found useful here is replying to girls that argue against it. I find that quite therapeutic at times..

[BigRob420]

No sometimes you gotta do it yourself.
