How does therapy actually work, how do you find a good one, and what’s the difference between counseling/therapy/psychiatrists/psychologists/etc.?
In: Other
You find a person you feel comfortable talking to, and can maybe relate to.
Counseling and therapy are close cousins- they talk to you and try to solve issues by helping you to understand how you feel about them.
Psychiatrists also do this, but are more inclined to look for a medical diagnosis and prescribe medication for a specific issue.
Therapy is helpful if you’re honest. Open up.
A psych student friend of mine said if you don’t feel catharsis after a visit then they aren’t the right psychologist for you.
I have gone to therapy, was on heavy drugs for 3 years. Shit doesnt help, you gotta man the fuck up and grab life by the balls. Thats the only solution. Turn your pain into success and have it motivate you for greatness.
