I need to hear some success stories as so far the long wait has not been worth it
For me therapy with psychologists hasn’t worked. Now I’m in a group therapy and for me it works better.
Therapy works great for me. I now can manage facing all of my triggers without having a panic response.
Therapy didn’t work for me. It is just a bad fit for some people
It all feels too little too late.
I feel bad taking their time as it’s clearly not having the desired impact that therapy is supposed to have.
Nope… Mindfulness and buddhist philosophy helped far better my anxiety than CBT, but not that good for my negatives.
Well, I did so well in therapy that my therapist said I didn’t have to go anymore. It helped a lot, especially for my anxiety and stress; taking away those stressful triggers made my symptoms decline. And this was all in like a year and a couple of months. I always suggest taking therapy along with medication because of how effective they can be.

It’s never done anything for me but I still go.
I got my story down lol in therapy. I finally let go of the past things that were hanging me up. I took responsibility for me life and stopped blaming people for sz. Now I’m learning to live following the way and taking responsibility for that. I want to be able to not be limited by fear and to accomplish more. Its trust in G_D that matters. lol. And not trust in self.
Therapy helps me to make the right decisions. It doesn’t really help with psychosis but it also helps me spot when I’m depressed
I need four more new therapists just to help me figure out what my current therapist is talking about.
I won’t go to therapy. Why did it seem like those people are idiots?
I saw the same therapist for about 5 years, the only thing I can remember that she said that helped me was when she told me she liked me.
Damn, she was fine though.
I find that having a therapist isn’t as nice as psychosocial rehabilitation which is more hands on and group oriented.
My arm.

Therapy has helped me in my past with depression and anger. I no longer do therapy because the last therapist I saw left her job after we built a re-pore with each other after 7 years of therapy. I would consider doing therapy again in the future If I felt that I needed it. My therapist helped me with a lot. SSDI, public housing, food stamps, medicaid; I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for her help.
Therapy mainly depends on having a therapist u feel comfortable to confide in.
No thearapy hasn’t really worked it doesn’t get rid of symptoms group therapy is good I use to go to healthy eating group at mental health centre but they don’t run that any more
Think ive done all my Therapy. Spent a year in a Theraputic Community called the Henderson, in Sutton near london.
Now closed - but was setup for those with personality disorders. No medications were allowed either - not even paracetamol. Learnt alot there- we had Shrinks from the home office to assess us.
Shame it was the wrong diagonsis i had lol. I was a right loon in there, being an un-diagnosed Sz -with no access to Aps.
I always knew PD was the wrong diagnosis for me anyway.
Yes,i loved my second therapist. but my frist therapist, no good results.
Now i’m having group therapy, i HATE it.
I utilized the school psychologist in high school which was the only way I made it thru those 3 1/2 years. He helped me get clothes when I needed them, and a winter coat the one year. He also didn’t call psych to pick me up when I showed him what I did to myself and the time I’d taken bottles of OTC tylenol to kill myself at school. He made me sit in his office until I threw them up.
He also helped me thru the three miscarriages in high school john and I had.
But the two I saw years later after having the three kids and in SD, they were useless.
But who I see here now for last 2 years, she is great. She and I talk like friends, we aren’t doing coping stuff unless I specifically ask for suggestions for a situation. We’ve talked about some of my past traumas from childhood, as a dating teen, becoming head of house at 16 for my mom and sisters. But she doesn’t blow smoke up my ass or do the whole gold star for you type therapy. It’s, do you feel like it was you or death for your family? I of course say yes, I mean, it literally was. She says I just proved to those around me that I was better than those who abused me in the past, because I still showed humanity even though those several people took it away from me.
I like my talk therapist, and she’s the one who goes to bat with finding me different doctors for my conditions by who her patients have had good, healthy physical and mental help with problems. Like I got into pain management in April! The guy that her patients recommendd quit in December, so reception just told everyone no bookings till July minimum. I called Thursday, they have a new doctor starting April 1st, I see him the 8th. 90 minute trip one way, but I’m one of his first pain management patients as he is a fresh young doctor, lol. I told them to make sure he reads all the chart and there is an MRI from October, so he can see the actual damage. And yes, hubby is going with.
