Current Events > What is going to a therapist like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been struggling with depression since around October and lately I've been having some really awful thoughts. I had tried to deal with it on my own, but it obviously isn't working. I'm looking for something that can help me, and therapy seems like a possible option. What is going to a therapist like? Has it helped you?

You sit in a room in a one-on-one environment, and you explain what's troubling you and what you're thinking. They usually give you suggestions and ideas to help your outlook. It's definitely ideal, but keep in mind you might not necessarily click with every therapist you get.

how does that make you feel?

I find it uncomfortable, until I've seen them a few times. The last one I went to was a guy. He was the first male therapist I ever visited, and I think he might have been my favorite. I'm not sure if it was because of his technique, or just because he was male and I felt more comfortable.

I did like how we practiced breathing excerices, which he was the first one to try that with me.
