Some context in case helpful: I have tried a few different therapists before and this round has been my longest try. I have done CBT before, and the current one is more talk therapy + EMDR.
I think I initially started as I was going through a difficult and stressful time due to work and life. As life progressed there have been new challenges, which I continued to discuss in sessions. However I haven't felt I have got much value from it. 😔
Hello, I have an adult son with cerebral palsy, ADD, anxiety (GAD) and a thus far undiagnosed mental health disorder. Our faith in God and belonging to a supportive Bible believing church family has been the best therapy for my family. Yes, my son has also participated in therapy, but he will tell you there is no peace without faith. The struggle is real and we take it one day at time. I'll be praying for you.
Not everyone needs a therapist in perpetuity. Is there a specific thing you are wanting to work on? Also, have you told your therapist what your goals are (probably, but just checking).
If you are looking for aha transformation maybe ketamine therapy could be good for you
Point blank ask your therapist, “what’s my treatment plan?” You deserve an answer, and if it’s not satisfying that’s a reason to end it. Finding a therapist is like dating, not like finding a dermatologist. It has to be a “good fit” and therapy with a bad fit is very demoralizing.
Exactly. Do it before getting ruined by someone who plays and makes experiments on you...
Aha moments are very few and far between in therapy. One very basic aspect I go by is: do I feel
that I’ve gotten to know or see myself better?
Do I ‘feel’ a little better ? But no one can advise you in general if they do not know anything about why you’re going to therapy to begin with.
I’ve done multiple rounds of therapy. The first time I was not getting anything out of it and just canceled my appointments and never rescheduled.
I replaced therapy with more guy time with my buddies. We have set get together every other week where we drink, smoke cigars, and just talk about anything and everything. There’s sometimes when it’s very superficial and surface level conversations and there’s a lot of times where we get deep and really help each other out. I’ve gotten more out of it than I ever have therapy.
The last time I did actual therapy I did it for a few months because I was having an extra rough time. I didn’t really notice any big changes or progress. But after a few months my therapist said they thought I seemed like I was good to go and didn’t need to continue.
I have meditation and these chats more helpful to be honest , dm me
