I think my therapist is

He conforts me.
He tells me the errors of my thinking
He tells me how I should think in my advantage, in a constructive way

Is it enough? I mean what does your therapist does?

I wish I had a therapist.

I’m sorry man 1515

I guess is enough, he can’t do more then I can handle

I found one who is in cognitive therapy, but told me that can’t handle a schizophrenic. So I found another but she is far, in the city. I will try to find one in my area

Maybe, but I prefer face to face sessions.
Your therapist has helped?

She’s like a supportive friend who focuses most the energy on me rather than both equally like “real” friendships.

He always make me feel better and not different, also he is telling me to call him if I have a problem. He’s not perfect

I think that’s for you to decide. Therapy isn’t magical. It won’t cure you. But it should make your life easier and help you make positive changes. Therapy helped me a lot, but I wasn’t very aware of it happening at the time, because it happened slowly. My therapist focused a lot on practical things like helping me manage my daily life. She didn’t use a specific approach.

I’ve been seeing a specialized trauma therapist, and going to group therapy for about a year. I’ve changed a lot since then. I was able to reduce my meds slightly, and I have gotten better at recognizing and labeling my emotions.

Before, I never knew if I was upset about something. I’d just get a stomachache and start shaking, and I thought I was physically sick. I was given lots of homework about checking in with my body, going over the events of my day, and labeling the emotions I thought I might be feeling over them. It was horrible and confusing in the beginning. Now, it’s easier.

I think my therapist is trying to get me to think toward the future so I don’t kill myself. She always has random, but pertinent little topics she wants to educated me about. Like Aces and Ants and schemas and all this sh it that on a good day is interesting. On a bad day I’m thinking why are you talking to me about this I just want to die. But it gets me thinking forward somewhat and I think that’s really her end game.

You don’t need to be weak to see a therapist you just need to be willing to change and be a better version of youself

I have a good therapist now after going through some that didn’t really help me at all. We’re not doing any specific kind of therapy, i just see her and talk once a month. It helps me to talk to someone and know they understand the things i’m dealing with, at least to some degree, even if only academically.
