If someone tells you they are going for therapy do you

Some times we can not even advice them u know because they feel or if i myself in such a situation i dont like any ones advice or suggestions becasue my age doesnt need it.I feel that they are showing some "sympathy" .Got it,that was the word i was not able to tell in the before response. No one likes this sympathy u know.No body likes it.If your tellign them good also they wil not listen at that situation,becasue they already know their problems and dont knwo the solutions. The people who are in such a sitaution do nt need any consulting they need friends to share and feel their problem.Real friends.

All your comments are greatly appreciated. I am majoring in psycholgoy but also am someone who has sought out therapy. I know that there is a stigma that people attach to the idea of getting therapy or people who see a therapist. Therapists, psychologists, counselors are just as necessary as your medical doctor. They treat wounds that many don't see.

When a person suffering from some psychological way,that person would never like to go to the doctor ,He does not want the feeling that he is mentally or psychologically ill.No one on this earth are so.It is some situations or some problems which make them get in to such type of acting. A doctor should not be a doctor to them,he or she should be a care taker with much more responsibility. They should get friends around so that they can forget the problems they are been or get such friends who can take them away from such problems. A human is a human ,though he is a therapist,psychologist,counsellor .They are humans not something else.They also do have feelings which a normal person has. May be according to their degree holding as a doctor they know w few more tips to tell the person who is suffering.

Rosa all of us folks get confused and sometimes overwhelmed by life's pressures..right now am seeing a therapist for what happened during my last employment.. things have to looked over and healed.

Yes Rosa, it is always darkest right before the dawn.and never get a rainbow without first having some rain. Good thoughts.

I hope that can help you , clear your mind and foregive if that is the case or forget if that is the case too. Remember that every thing happend for a reason, and never is darkest than when is almost the sunrise. I wish you the Francis.

Its sad isn't it that society thinks less of people who seek out THerapy. Do you think that many who should get help, don't because they don't want to be looked down upon? What do you think society can do as a whole to make it more acceptable.

I think that because of the label many that need and would benefit the most don't get it, yes. It is a very sad thing indeed. I do think that we have come along way in the past 25 years. Still more understanding is needed. I think that people should realize how awesome they are that they realize that they have a problem and want to do something about it. They only thing that I can think of to change things is showing the positive sides of therapy. It's very healthy to talk about problems and not keep them bottled up inside. So even if you just have a good friend to talk to that can be therapy in itself. Someone who doesn't judge but listens. A lot of times a person will hear what they are saying and have a light bulb go off.

All psychologist do is listen..mosty

Sorry to hear that you suffered such trauma as a child. I agree.. therapy does help immensely; just knowing someone cares enough to listen. The therapist helps you understand why you allow yourself to become a victim to bullies or abusers and then offers tools how to approach the situation should it happen again.

Good for you. .I think many are open minded and non-judgemental; but there are also those who feel it a sign of weakness if someone seeks help. I think the opposite. For many years, I thought of seeking some counseling but many things held me back. Thoughts of being stigmatized, judged and labeled were many of the reasons I did not.

very good insight. I agree ..doing what is right for oneself is rhe best. Today's society, however, is forever telling you to keep up and even do better.. what do you say to that?

I think most people are kindhearted and reasonable.Today's society is like a boat sailing against the current must forge ahead or it will bedriven back.

I disagree with you assessment that too many go to therapy. I think the opposite is quite true; that not enough seek help for their issues and thus we have all the craziness and hurting going on in our world. People opening fire on innocent bystanders etc.
