Are therapists a bunch of quacks? Like dude just get over it you don’t have to feel feelings. The problem is if you take that emotion whatever you’re feeling you just suppress it, it can build up and then you just get mad over dumb things. You began calling everyone else emotional, there’s stuff underneath that anger.

If you get angry, you think you’re protecting yourself, but you learned to protect yourself like that from somewhere. It’s like when you have a gash and you decide “I’m just going to rub dirt in it, it’ll be fine and then it’s just this open wound for the rest of your life. When you just brush up against it, you’re like ah and you overreact. Even as a scar you still remember it’s there, well therapy takes it and turns it from an open gash to a scar in terms of your emotions.

It doesn’t have to be all this mushy stuff!

It doesn’t have to be this this quack type of thing, there are different types of therapy. You want to change how you think you’d see cognitive behavioral therapist. Want to get to the root of the emotions, see how these emotions impact your relationship? See an emotionally focused therapist. If you feel your family is to blame, see a family therapist. When you want to blame your mom, you can see a traditional Freudian psychologist.

There’s lots of different ways to go about therapy, and it helps.

Therapy has been studied it’s not a just a bunch of quirky stuff, when therapists see people feel better and see that something that was traumatic is no longer traumatic and tell their friends and then they come in there’s this cycle of healing.

There are therapists of all different shapes, sizes, backgrounds, beliefs, so whatever interests you just make sure you find someone you connect with, and you’ll do great in therapy. Finding someone you trust is a big part of success; it is attributed to the therapeutic relationship.
