I am not a therapy person, but I understand what therapy does. It's a way of translating dark thoughts into something manageable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Therapy is not to 'talk about' things, but to change the person's life, and to relieve suffering, such as depression, anxiety, or relationship problems.
There's a stigma on the word 'therapy.' People relate it to big problems. That's something we have to change. Going to therapy can be very healthy. It can change the way you see things and treat others.
I don't know what psychotherapy does. I have been seeing the same person for 26 years now.
I've been in therapy my whole life.
I think therapy is a helpful thing. I think everyone knows it. You do it for your life, you do it for yourself, because you want to explore some things, and get at the bottom of some things. It's about your life, the quality of your life.
In my experience, psychotherapy at its best is like dual meditation - it's like a container in which you can be compassionate and mindful toward yourself.
I've never, ever had any therapy. Some might say I need it, but I've never seen a shrink or a psychologist or anything like that.
I love therapy. I swear by therapy. I couldn't exist without therapy.
I myself have been in therapy. Repeatedly.
I think that therapy is great and can be incredibly helpful.
