What do you mean by talking therapies?
I voted before I fully understood the question.

I voted “no”. But A.A. might be classed as a kind of group talking therapy. So that would be “yes”. But for talking to a psychologist that would be “no”.
Basically anything were you don’t take medications. So like clinical psychologists, therapists, OTs etc

Then I hold my vote at NO.
I’ve been in therapy for a while, like most my life and I feel like it hasn’t helped a lot.
Other than to just get stuff off my chest.
When I did intense CBT, it helped, but that’s the only exception.

I don’t qualify for them.
I voted no.
Possibly if they let you vent but most of the time no.
I think most psychologists I’ve met have been seriously disturbed and one made me psychotic by asking questions I couldn’t answer.
I had one psychologist gang up on me with my mum n stepdad and all three of them were calling me a liar and taking my stepdads side though he was abusive .
He had the psychologist around his little finger.
I felt so betrayed and vulnerable and I had been wronged and they were blaming me for their faults and wrong doings.
They were so unprofessional and harmed me.
They did not help me they harmed me.
No I don’t believe in them for me.
Some people might find the right one but it’s uncommon.
No I never want to be abused by one again.

No, talk therapy and psychologists just live to suck your money, I had a stupid friend who got brainwashed by his psychologist and pays 250$ for every 45min, he goes many times a month, I call this theft.
Meds are the only thing that helped me, my psychiatrist apt last 5 min max.

I hate talking about my problems. I think it makes me both uncomfortable and unstable. There is probably a deep down reason for this I would likely benefit from exploring.
But as it stands for me talking isn’t my bag
Dang, therapy has helped me. I have a co-occuring drug dependence and sometimes my psychologist is my only ally. There have been on several occasions where my sanity rested in the hands of a practitioner. Sure, there’s plenty of other bs along the way, but I can’t agree that therapy is not beneficial. If it is, find another one.
Talking to my psychologist helps in some ways.
I get some practical advice from her from time to time.
It has helped me a lot.
It probably depends more on your personality and whether you get a good therapist than on your diagnosis.
Its always helped me a lot, especially when I’m paranoid. But not everyone has the same experience as I do, so I understand that.
CBT is good. OT is okay but not as life changing as everyone makes out.
