It is beneficial if you can find the right person.
At least it is for me.

I agree that you have to find the right one,

Even then they seem to be able to do very little.

But for me, itā€™s about just getting it all out and having someone that understands (to an extent).

I value my time with my therapist, but sometimes I do wonder if Iā€™m wasting both of our time.

I thought it was a waste of time as she kept pushing me to work and ended up psychotic with the stress. But I wonā€™t give up I want to see a different therapist as my last one left.

I am certain that my last diagnosis of schizoaffective holds true for me.
Therapy doesnā€™t really help me so much but I think that Iā€™m going to stick with my current therapist.

She is someone one to talk to and my disability case requires that I see a therapist.

I think trying a different one is a very good idea. Some will click with you and others wonā€™t. So itā€™s important to find a good fit

Gives me someone to vent the worst things to. Also gives me ideas on how to deal with my problems.

I used to have a peer support specialist before covid. We would just talk about our week. He would joke that he got as much out of it as I did.

In this sense yes it could be beneficial.
Iā€™m going to open up more with my therapist and see how she reacts.

I donā€™t feel that comfortable around her.

But Iā€™ll test the waters.

it has some benefit but not enough to say itā€™s ā€œbeneficialā€. on balance, itā€™s a waste of time.

with that said, when u r first starting out with mental illness, it would be beneficial so you can be educated and have a spring board. in the maintenance phase, it might be okay to see em a couple times a year, four times a year tops. my therapist gets on my case about having appointments eight times a year. i enjoy our time together but itā€™s mostly a waste of time. she says itā€™s best this way for those who get disability benefits, so i dont argue about it.

On the other hand I trust my caseworker.
She is a sweetheart.
Such a good soul.

I had two therapists that did the ā€˜If you want to be a good personā€¦ā€™ routine i.e very judgemental. That put me off them. Iā€™m sure there must be good ones.

It was a waste of time for me. But I think its good for those who have psychological problems. I donā€™t.

Therapy works for my brother because he has many psychological issues.
My issues stem from a neurobiological disorder.
Therapy plays a limited role.

Iā€™ve always felt that therapy was a bit of a con to be honest. Iā€™m surprised 50% of people here find it beneficial.

Yeah mine have been helpful. Id say much more than some psychiatrists. Very good if you reaā€™lly need somebody to talk with. Harder to find one sometimes though. The only reason I got to see my last one was due to some temp hurricane funding. I cant afford to shop around for one. Personally, I think offering only pills for treatment is barbaric.
