[Serious] Are you in therapy?

[Spongebob]

I have had therapy and it was amazing. Finding a compatible therapist is key, however. I recommend it to everyone, whether you believe you need it or not. If you open up and don't hold back it can increase your self awareness in ways you never imagined. If you don't participate, it won't do any better then going to the gym five days a week and sitting at the table drinking Jamba juice. The only reason I'm not in therapy now is the cost, which can be very high if your insurance doesn't cover it. Mine only covered a short period. I'm currently looking for loopholes.

One thing I'd say...from a person who's been to a person thinking of going.  That ear won't necessarily be sympathetic.  You can cry on shoulders anywhere.  A licensed pro absolutely will say shit you don't want to hear.  Considering to go, consider what you expect out of it.  You wont be paying for a friend.

I'll second this and it can be a surprise if that's what you're expecting, so it's good you pointed this out.  I believe most of us find ways to hide what we don't like about ourselves from ourselves.  A therapist will pick that scab right off and show you how disgusting it is.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that you will find out how much more you can grow and develop when you stop hiding from yourself.  When you stop hiding from the truth.  The truth hurts but it is also liberating.
