Question: Why don't people speak to their family members?

Some might not trust their family enough to divulge such problems. All fam ain't got good intent breh

Question: Why don't people speak to their family members?

Because most black families think prayer is the remedy for everything.

Question: Why don't people speak to their family members?

We don't all have family members to talk to.

A majority of my family dislikes me and the feeling is mutual.

That and

most black families think prayer is the remedy for everything.

My insurance doesn't cover it so I'm paying out of pocket.

I need it plus it's money I would normally waste on drugs anyway.

what drugs do you do

 

[Mandarin Duck]

what drugs do you do

Weed and coke.

My therapist actually used to smoke too.

Said she just quit 2 months ago.

She also told me based on my state of mind weed is probably not the best thing for me right now.

I haven't done coke in a few weeks.

Question: Why don't people speak to their family members?

they aren't trained in the area
they are biased
they are often part of the problem & defensive about it
they are enablers
they are gossips so u gotta watch what u say
sometimes a person may think they just have an emotional issue when reality they have some type of personality or behavioral disorder

and so on.

Jesus.

You two will be fukking during session hours and billing insurance for your coke.

She needs her license revoked.

I’ve found what’s helpful is being shown what actions are beneficial for your well being and self esteem. Discussing real life situations - you’d be surprised how actions you frame as easier / comfortable (conflict avoidance for example) can take a toll on self worth, etc.

Salute for taking this step OP.

Let’s say I go to the doctor for gout. I wouldn’t look at my doctor funny if he said he had gout too. However, if I went to my doctor for herpes and he pulled out an anecdote, I wouldn’t care for that.

going to mine on saturday. Last session she gave me some handouts on how to handle workplace stress. If i can i'll find a way to post them.

Nah. I don't believe going to a therapist and "blowing off steam" will help. Yeah sure, they're listening but they don't give AF, just doing their job. If going to s therapist is what "fixes" you, your problems were probably something not serious to begin with.

Before I started my session she assured me that the help isn't guaranteed, but if I need any further assistance in life to consult Akuma from Street Fighter.
