I've been seeing a therapist for 16 years. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for my therapist. He has always been there for me, and now I'm able to trust him and talk to him about anything. I've seen a social worker to, but I felt she didn't have the knowledge to give me the help I need. If I was you I would give both of them a try and decide for yourself who you think would be more benefically to helping you with your problems. Social workers are more able to connect you to different resources you may need for help. A therapist is there to listen to you and try to help you work out your problems. They will talk to you and try to give you different ideas to solve your problems. Take care! Hugs! Von

hello...
i respect your question as it is but you should here (or some moment in your eternal consideration) realize that whether it be clinical social worker or therapist the responsibility for your personal health will always be your own.
so...it is not the actual title of the person which is helpful...it is the person which responds to you which has gifts which enable your more full realization(s).
therefore.... a day at the beach with your dog may be as helpful as a registered ""whatever"" ""whomever"".
"how does that make you feel" ? ....is a quite valid question to any other person which makes an expression of their own known to the person which they have relationship with.
such as myself .... i would ask that very same question and others. now ... also ... you do not state here what are your issues so it is not possible to specifically respond to your personal issues. but ..... let me say ... any person which seeks professional help needs to be aware (or should try to be aware) of what is the values and beliefs of the person which is counselling....
otherwise ... they may respond to your position (of mental/emotional/physical/relationship health) by their very own (and not your very own) interests. this is why a piece of paper on the wall as certification is now not presently enough to ensure good human relationship counselling.
good luck and be well allways

you recognize, the lead-in assertion that usually gets my ears pricked up is, "you're gonna think of i'm loopy, yet...." of course, my reaction to that's, "No, I won't think of you're loopy--tell me what's on your recommendations." you're completely stunning to be concerned approximately breaking the ice. Therapists are human beings, too; and once you're all shy and quiet, the least confusing element for us to do is to get caught up with busywork like making tests or giving suggestion. however the reason maximum human beings get into this occupation is using the fact we care approximately human beings and can relate. So only be honest. tell him/her what you purely mentioned right here: you have somewhat some stuff happening, you're depressed and nervous approximately your weight, and you purely want a listening ear. in case you do not want suggestion stunning off the bat, make that sparkling. in the experience that your therapist or social worker is heavily listening-impaired after that, swap to somebody else.
