[quote=Anonymous]The only therapists that are helpful have had the same mental health condition themselves and overcame it. If a therapist is not an expert in their field, you're better off getting a self help book written by an expert. Therapists also give basic advice that you've already been doing for years. They may be a lot younger and don't have life experience. You have to pay them if they are not a good fit, and even if you try to quit, then you have to pay them for another session so they can get closure. Rehashing things in therapy reinforces it. They don't know you so you spend all this time and money filling them in. It's probably better to just meditate or keep a journal. If a spouse goes to therapy to deal with their marriage, the therapist doesn't get the whole story so can't really help. If you keep going to a therapist for years, then they aren't doing their job. There should be a goal so you can end treatment. [/quote]
