My Therapy
Look, I’m actually very happy that people have access to therapy. For example, and I don’t mention this much, I have been in therapy for a long time. It’s funny how people think they do not need therapy but they often do.
I started going for one reason. That reason has split into many more reasons. There are some things that maybe were just the start, and as I learn more, we are viewing deeper.
What is wonderful to me is the sheer amount of t types of therapy that are available. I know there is like CBT, which most people are aware of. There is exposure therapy. There is lgbtq therapy, too. And I think this is a more valuable issue now that people are starting to become more accepting, you know. But still, I can imagine that people who can benefit from that therapy may find it useful.
For me, I’m just in regular therapy. Like you call and say hey, I need a therapist. We talked a bit about what I’m looking for while I was on the call.
There have been a few therapists that I wasn’t such a good pair with. It really did take a few for me to find somebody I like talking to. I think this is pretty normal. But when you have a good therapist it’s possible to really discuss some things that you might not otherwise know how. I know for me, It’s pretty difficult to talk about specific things, but I do what I can, and we generally tend to make some progress.
It still seems different, though. Have you ever had something in your thoughts that you haven’t told anyone, and then you just tell them? That’s kind of what therapy has been like for me. It’s a bit unique compared to everything else I’ve ever done. I think what you think of or what you see on TV makes you a bit assuming about some things, but therapy was actually a bit dissimilar from what I was presuming. There’s a lot of talking and a lot of discussion and a lot of me trying really hard to share some things that were uncomfortable for me. And since you have no idea what you might learn there, it really becomes a bit of a fun time. Not fun like you’re thinking, but I totally feel like I enjoy it.
