Have you ever had therapy for ANY reason?

Question

I am not looking for a yes or no answer; nor am i looking for your opinion about what you think about people who DO seek out therapy.

If you are curious why I asked it, your stories help me deal better with my issues.

(almost like being a group therapy!)

Just tell me your story--stuff like how old you were at the time (even how old you are n-o-w if you want), what your isuues were (or issue), and if you felt that you were helped.

I am not asking you to tell me names (yours, your therapist or anyone else involved with this) OR where you are from.

Just YOUR story.

BTW, no judgement on my part, I am just interested in what makes people " tick."

I am online now (it is 6:36pm Central time Wednesday August the 30th) and will be for a bit, IF you want to IM me (sierrababy44) at yahoo.

Answer 1

Here's my story. I am 52, with a son that just turned 18. He has spent most of his teen years in therapy...drug and alcohol abuse, anger issues and etc. I have gone to therapy with him when he was a minor because I had to but now he is an adult and he wants me there. Even though the counseling appts are his, by him wanting me in the room with him and the counselor, I am getting helped, too. Someone to talk to about our problems without being judged.
