Who besides me needs therapy?

[Jennz6]

I know that I’m not the only person that needs therapy.

THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, FIND A DOCTOR

I think more people need therapy these days than ever. People in my generation are facing more trauma, because we start school with iPhones now! people way back, if they were bullied in school, at least they got a break from the bullying after school and on weekends. We wake-up at 3am to text-floods from our bullies, we take our bullies on vacation with us, because they always have access to our phone, or if we block them, they bully us through social media, and if we block them there.. There may be 20, 30, hell even more, other bullies who are friends with that one we just blocked, or they may just be bullying us for clout! So I think a LOT need therapy. (And don’t even get me started on the social contagion of trans ideology (not REAL trans-women & trans-men). If you don’t think it’s a social contagion, you haven't been in a middle of high school in the last 10yrs. ONE GIRL will come out as Trans, and w/in a month ALL of her social group are identifying as Trans, or Gender non-binary!

I think more people need therapy these days than ever! People in my generation are facing far more trauma than previous generations, as a whole, because we start school with iPhones now! Most millennials, if they were bullied in school, at least they got a break from the bullying after school and on weekends. We wake-up at 3am to text-floods from our bullies, we take our bullies on vacation with us, because they always have access to our phone, or if we block their number, they bully us through social media, and if we block them there.. There may be 20, 30, hell even more, other bullies who are friends with that one we just blocked, or they may not even know me, they’re just be bullying us for clout! So I think a LOT of people need therapy. (And don’t even get me started on the social contagion of trans ideology (not talking about REAL trans-women & trans-men). But if you don’t think that there is a social contagion aspect to this, you haven't been in a middle or high school in the last 10yrs. ONE GIRL will come out as Trans, and w/in a month ALL, like every member of her social group are identifying as Trans, or Gender non-binary!

Older groups, (35 and up) are facing crippling levels of debt, (both school loans, and consumer debt), crippling food prices, and lifelong marriage is almost extinct! Women initiate most divorces, and we do it for the most ridiculous reasons “Oh, I wasn't fulfilled”, or worse is “Oh he financially abused me”! What? Oh, you mean he didn't let you spend irresponsibly, on buying whatever you wanted, because he works his ass off, and he doesn't want to risk the security of the family, by just buying you jewelry? Right! And because of this men are refusing to get married! I don’t blame them! What’s in it for them? If we can meet some guy who makes more money, and after 5yrs of marriage, we call the cops to make our husband leave,

Contunued…
Not only does he lose half of his belongings, he hast to pay all of her legal expenses, child support (which I have no problem with, every man should pay child support for his child.) but this just incentivizes the woman lie, and make false accusations because it costs her nothing! She doesn't have to pay her lawyer, the ex-husband does. also, even after three, or sometimes more, false and unfounded, sexual abuse accusations. The woman is still not held to account for perjury! There is no reason for man to get married to these days, and without marriage the children of that divorce end up with staggeringly low success rates for life. (10 X more likely to be arrested if you grow up in a single parent household!)

I do not understand why some people feel shame or embarrassment about needing or receiving mental healthcare. I'm in therapy! I've been in therapy since I was 13 and I was raped by my blood related uncle! (My dad's brother) They got me through a very dark stage in my life and the therapist I worked with helped me find my purpose. By the time I reached high school I absolutely knew that I wanted to be a psychologist, and I was determined to get that accomplished as quickly as possible. Because of the work I did with my therapist, I was able to my anger and betrayal into my academic work, completing high school two years, and receiving my bachelors degree 2 years 3 months after that!

If you're struggling with something in your life, please reach out for help. If you think you cannot afford it, you're wrong. There are incredibly inexpensive online therapist who will meet you via zoom.

I really hope this helps someone, Laura 🤗 🥰

@Cute_Miss_Laura
Laura, you have helped me so much and I want you to know how grateful I am and how much I appreciate everything you’ve shared with me 💕💃🥰
Jennifer

[Cute_Miss_Laura]

Awww, thank you so much for telling me that. You are so special, it’s my pleasure to help you in any way I can, Jenn. .
Laura. 🤗 🥰

[Ms_Facesitter]

I'd like some

[OlderAndWiser]

Depends on what you mean by “need” and also how you define “therapy.” Many people would possibly benefit from therapy but they don’t seek it and nonetheless they continue to live within the mainstream.


There are some things that s therapist might do, under appropriate circumstances, that you could never get anywhere else. But some therapy is not markedly different from having a really good friend who listens and reflects.

I've been there and done that

[CubaPirate]

Thanks for the MHO Sweetie 😘

I suggest is someone does go in for therapy, that they find the best therapist they can find for themselves. Otherwise it won't help.

I went to a therapist many many years ago. I kept telling her I have a gut feeling something bad is going to happen. And she thought I was borrowing more problems and that nothing bad is going to happen.
Well, low and behold, my son came down with bacterial meningitis and blood poisoning and an infection in his heart, double pneumonia, and on life support.
So I drove to her office and told her that my son is in the hospital dying. I reminded her that I knew something bad was going to happen. Then she said she was sorry. Had me get some antianxiety pills and antidepressants to get me through this tragedy all by myself. I still had to keep my job so I continued working while he was dying. I would leave at 2:30 everyday and rush to the hospital which was far away from where I worked and no support system, just me and my son.

So, please get a therapist that has your best interest at ❤️ heart.

Almost everyone needs or at least can benefit from therapy. But of course not everyone needs it nor many are open to it. Mental health support is slowly overcoming its stigma. Most people still don’t understand what is therapy. It is not necessarily for the purpose of only when someone is going through a meltdown or tough times in their lives. Therapy can be helpful even when you are doing just fine and want to have a better understanding about yourself or before it could lead to a crisis situation. Therapy are trained professionals who are not biased and can help others by creating a safe space to allow individuals be themselves, process their childhood, learn more about their attachment styles, relationships, mental health, healing from past and current traumas, current state, life stages, grieving, and so much more. Of course, it is also a trial and error to find the right therapist that will match you and what you’re looking for.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Everyone, girl. Everyone.

Therapy is a place to practice vulnerability in a safe way. Being vulnerable allows us to be honest, possibly for the first time in our life. It allows us to see the person we are and be accepted in that state, however imperfect. Once we realize that we can be heard and accepted without judgement, we can process everything we were never allowed to feel before in a way that doesn't irreparably hurt those we love. It's so healing and freeing to have the weight of performance and expectations taken away. Once that occurs, we can begin to build.

But it only works if we do the work. It will sting, it will bring out difficult feelings. But that is what helps us heal.

[Bricealan]

@Jennz6 Can't imagine you needing therapy? You seem normal to me? I, at one, time went to a 'counselor' after college... and after several sessions decided that many/most of us are somewhat 'neurotic', but that doesn't mean that we need therapy.

Now, "jennz"... if I were 'stalking you on GAG, I might just need therapy ! LOLOL 😂😂😂😂😂

Relax, sweet pea, you are in the "norm"

[Jennz6]

I’m not exactly normal lol

[Bricealan]

How so?

[purplepoppy]

I don't believe that therapy works for most people. What people need is unbiased quality help with their problems and then their mental health improves. For example if money issues are the source of your problems some one who can get debtors off your back and help you budget is going to cure you better than a chat about your feelings.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Solar therapy is what I always need & the past two days I had my solar sessions at the beach. Packed my cooler, put on my sunscreen & bathing suit & parked my chair in the sand & when I wanted to cool off I went in the water & surfed some waves in too.

On the flip side I would never go to someone that refers themselves as followed.

The rapist

The+rapist = Therapist

[RebelinSteel]

I would say a good 75% of GaG need it, about 40% of users really need it and 20% critically need it.

[HawkPerception]

Unless you don't have family or friends, I really don't believe in therapy. Because psychology and therapy was even a thing, people just mettled through their days and dealt with the shit they got.

[HawkPerception]

When psychology and therapy wasn't even a thing****

[Likes2drive]

I just need physical therapy for my shoulder , i’m mentally stable

[Jennz6]

I can do that babe

[Likes2drive]

I would have to travel far for that I imagine

[exitseven]

I have a cranky shoulder but I don';t think therapy will help it at this point. At some point I will have to get it replaced.

[OlderAndWiser]

Dude, i think she is asking about therapy for your head! 😃😃😃

[exitseven]

@OlderAndWiser hahahaha I knew that. I was just having a little sport.

[OlderAndWiser]

And that illustrates one of the problems with digital communications. So much is lost when you don't hear the speaker!

[Staximus]

I need shoulder surgery too, do to doing stupid shit

[exitseven]

@OlderAndWiser yes, sometimes that happens.

[slatyb]

I have a therapist. BetterHelp gets bad reviews. There are better online therapy sites.

[slatyb]

I found mine on the Psychology Today site. She was just starting, still under supervision. She's been great.

[menina]

Many people in the world need therapy, you're not the only one.

[ryancg]

Not for me. Knowing they're only listening to me because they're being paid and not because they actually care. I can't get past that, it's weird to me.

[Hawkes_Lady]

Never been to any kind of therapy that I found beneficial. I need help, but I have a hard time opening up to anyone and it always feels forced and trite.

[DrPepper12]

ME!!! Best decision that I fought for a long time!! Everyone should have a therapist even if you think you're ok. Trust me your not and having a trained confidant to just talk no judgement is life altering!!

[Jackblue]

I have had it in the past, I don't think it worked too well for me, but I think I was a rather unique case.

[serious]

Well I would depends on the person if they think therapy can help them become a better person in any way or not

[AngryCarl]

I already had therapy. Of course it's hard for a few sessions of therapy to overcome a lifetime of conditioning.

[Nice222]

For me just talking to friends, family and coworkers seems to work better. But you do have to be careful who you share your personal feelings with.

[Wiredone]

I think anyone that has to deal with the public needs therapy at some point
