I stopped therapy last week. Not without knowing what I was doing. I had the therapist’s permission to do so.
Some people don’t find therapy any good.
I am curious to know what they do in therapy ?
Depends what type of therapy.
Usually it’s group therapy; where everyone engages in convo on a topic and theirs usually a facilitator that runs the group.
Ok thats interesting !
The therapist does therapy with the patient.
Not for me except for AA. All the therapy I do through work is 1 on 1. I’d run off screaming if they stuck me in a group, even an online one. Screw that.
I am so accustomed to being in a group or just simply talking with a therapist that My Buddhist meditation group turned into some sort of group therapy. It was embarrassing.
I had those as well.
I had group CBT therapy after my initial psychotic break and they literally brought me back to reality. It helped alot.
I barely function in groups. I hear every cough, every fingernail tap, notice every flicker of the lighting in the room. More people is more distraction. And the eye contact. Ugh.
Meds don’t help that ?
I have this too and Invega helps.
I’ve had this forever. Asperger’s. It’s why school was so hard for me.
I start one to one psychologist next week. I have PTSD following a traumatic birth.
I have done therapy in the past and I know various coping tools and skills. But I think I just need to talk through with someone everything I remember from that night/day
