For this blog I think that I am going to talk about therapy. Not the therapy where you are working and strengthening your muscles, but the therapy where you able to let all your worries and thoughts out in a non- judgmental environment. I truly believe that everyone should go and see a therapist because everyone has issues that they are not comfortable talking to loved ones or friends. The thing that really bothers me is that most people that I know, probably more in my age group, have a stigma that therapist are just trying to get into your business and never actually help with the issues that you feel are causing you great distress.
I have gone to a therapist for about three weeks now and it seems to be helping me a lot with my stress and anxiety. I am not ashamed to say that I see a therapist because I know that she is only helping me with the problems that I present to her. She is not prying into my personal life; she only goes off what I tell her. Therapy is, in a way, like a personal journal that is life-size. What I mean by that is that you are getting feedback and constructive criticisms for what you can do to feel better about whatever is troubling you.
Every since I have stated going to therapy once a week or sometime ever two weeks, I have been able to cope with my anxious feelings in ways such as breathing methods or “grounding” which is calming down and giving yourself a pep talk saying that you are okay and that you are not in any sort of harm. If therapy helps me talk about things like school, work and relationships, then I am pretty sure that it will let anyone feel more at ease, so give it a try, okay?
Therapy is great for sorting out your problems. I was in therapy after my divorce and again after a bad break up. But after about half a year, each session would end with how I'm doing all the right things. So I figured why do I need to pay someone to tell me I'm doing all the right things, and I stopped going. I look at it now as something I needed to do at the time, but didn't need to anymore. Some days though I wish I could talk to someone about all the shit thats accumulated in my life.
