[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM and many people are quick to always recommend therapy for everyone for everything.  I don’t always think it helps.  Maybe the PP is right and it feels bad because you are working through things.  Or maybe you had a bad therapist dwelling on the past when it’s healthier for you to just move on.

I’ve tried many therapists over the years found it time consuming and stressful or just annoying.  I’ve gotten better advice on here from strangers and felt much better repeating some of their words and then going about my day.  [/quote]

This sounds similar to my experience. I've found talking things through with close friends or other people dealing with similar things who are online, much more helpful to me than therapists. I think part of the problem with therapy is it is diagnosis based and therapist have specific training based on diagnosis. So they’re trying to diagnose you with problem x which requires treatment y. I think this can be effective for many things, but if you don't fit into one of the diagnosis boxes I think a lot of therapists don't have the flexibility in thinking to help you.[/quote]
