Therapy is Expensive?

[Alyssa1111]

So after much thought i've decided that i want to give therapy a try!
In case you're curious i have bad anxiety and it's been affecting me on a daily basis for the past year or so.

So far they all seem so expensive - £60 an hour? Does anyone have any other recommendations? Or should I give it a go and pay that much money for a session?

Sorry I don't know anything about therapy!

Just make a good friend and that should be therapy enough.
Another thing I would suggest is self help books.
They could be free at the library or you can buy used ones for really cheap.
Start with relationship books, boundaries is a great book and then beyond boundaries.
I recommend talking to close childhood friends or anyone on here whom you become friends with.
Some times therapy is a waste of time. The therapist doesn't really get to know you, instead they just judge you and tell you to not think a certain way. For example a therapist told me that if I didn't know for sure that someone or something was going to happen then for me to just stop it, because it is making it up! They didn't ask why I think that way, and I thought that way because it was how I was raised with fears by my parents. They don't know because they don't ask, they are just there to psychoanalyze.
You need someone to empathize with you not psychoanalyze you and tell you what you should or should not be doing.

Good luck
