How does talking to a professional about your problems help you in any way? I’ve been in and out of therapy for years and I simply don’t find any use in it. I just tell the therapist about my emotions and my life, they try to be understanding and offer some very basic advice I already knew about. Why is therapy often recommended more than medication and thought of as a better solution when it’s literally just normal discussion that can’t change brain chemistry?

The trauma response that one faces day to day is rooted in the trauma that we experienced in the past by talking through and reflecting and reframing those experiences generally folks are better able to see themselves and their emotional distress in more realistic terms (it is almost impossible to see a situation for what it is when looking through the lens of fight or flight )just taking the time to walk through situations (some of which people often don’t ascribe much weight to in the fight or flight mindset) can truly be an important indicator of where there was dysfunction ,why there was dysfunction gives us an analytical tool too calmly see how a different response to that same emotional stimulus can play out allowing us to make different decisions that will be better for us
