fixing your problems, for one
I went to therapy and while I generally find it useless here's some good things.
>Have an extra bro to vent to
>You don't burden your friends with excessive emotions
>CBT is useful
>Having a structured time to talk about shit is like going to the gym or church, it can help with discipline and accountability
>Might get some good tips on various life situations
Just don't get a woman or a boomer male. Worst of all gay or diversity hire. Male, married 40-50 is probably the sweet spot.
You fell off
Your refusal to acknowledge reality
Your refusal to acknowledge fault
Your refusal to change
Your refusal to take responsibility for your situation
Your refusal to take responsibility for how you feel
Your refusal to take responsibility for who you are
Your addiction to using your problems in every situation, i.e. that you'll choose to suffer from your problem and to exacerbate your problem whenever you get the opportunity.
For everything else they can ask you why you're doing what you're doing and through answering those questions you can figure out what you want, who you wanna be, and how you can make progress towards it.
You being attracted to them. At least in my case that led to a referral
Of course they can help you with that, ask why you're attracted, if it's helping, if you want to continue that way, and if you don't want to be attracted, why don't you change {x} limiting belief or restrict yourself from {y} or practice some {z} so you can do it.
Maybe mine was just a bitch then
Could be the case. You know how female psychology students are - they're there to project their personal issues and "fix themselves", ignorant of how their problems are usually basic bitch shit with easy solutions that they don't want to use because it'd mean admitting their mental is basic bitch tier.
Also you wanna be careful abt port addiction and sexual stuff, they may think you need a sex therapist, which can lead to some weird ass people
**porn
Why would you need a sex therapist for porn addiction, the keyword there is addiction, not porn. It's the same "I keep choosing to want the thing and I keep listening to the shitty inner voice that tells me to satisfy it, even though part of me knows I'm being retarded. How do I start taking the side of smart me instead of the side of urges me?" dance that alcoholics go through.
Sex therapy is for like if you keep groping kids and dunno why you're groping kids. Or if you're aware you should be horny for your husband but the horny won't engage for some reason.
idk man from my experience therapists don't do shit. I tried CBT before and it will not work unless you're retarded. CBT consists of taking a situation and simply wishing way your emotions by deciding not to care. It doesn't resolve anything or make you feel better, just makes you sit there like a pussy assuming it even works in the first place. Also they tend to just give you bad advice since their job is to fence-sit so they're too afraid to give you any help that might actually get you anywhere because if it fails you're gonna drop them and there goes a portion of their income. These people are frauds, see a psychologist and get meds but therapy is just a waste of money.
>I tried CBT before and it will not work unless you're retarded.
I'm a genius and part of it works for me.
>CBT consists of taking a situation and simply wishing way your emotions by deciding not to care.
Only if your mindset isn't justified and your emotions aren't an accurate reaction to the situation.
In the even that you're right to think and feel the way you do, CBT won't do shit. If you're wrong to think and feel the way you do, CBT is about undoing all those shitty habits that you use to keep yourself wrong.
>they're too afraid to give you any help that might actually get you anywhere because if it fails you're gonna drop them and there goes a portion of their income.
I'm unbound by the same restriction. Hello motherfucker, have you identified at least 1 limiting belief or at least 1 unjustified emotion within yourself today?
Nta but I have health anxiety. I know it's unjustified but the panic attacks still don't stop. CBT never worked for me.
Depends on what you mean by "therapy".
A "psychotherapist" is not the same as a psychologist. Only the latter is legitimate.
A psychologist is not a psychiatrist, only the latter is a medical doctor.
What each can and can't help with is different from the others.
If you're gay they can't cure you
If you refuse to drop your dipshit delusions they can't help
If you have really, really bad anxiety they are useless
Therapy involves change. Change is scary and painful. Therapy can't help if you fight against change.
