EclairReturns 10/18/21 9:05:17 PM #1:	Would the bloke dismiss my self-diagnosis, deem me a liar, diagnose me for problems I probably don't have, and then waste my time by trying to work out these problems? Yes. No. Why are you even asking this? It's clear that you aren't willing to see a therapist for the problems you do have. It would be a waste of time to see one if you are this distrusting and unwilling to figuratively open yourself up.

fishy071 10/19/21 1:01:07 AM #8:	Therapists are not supposed to dismiss your feelings and call you a liar. They are supposed to ask for relevant information, discuss your problems with you, and help you work out solutions. In your case, therapists would have to ask you why you're afraid of intimacy, followed by relevant questions. Then they would have to discuss with you ways to work out a way for it. --- "You don't need a reason to help people." (Zidane Tribal of FFIX) <cite>fishy071 posted [p:959177109] in Suppose I ...

EclairReturns 10/19/21 4:30:21 AM #11:	chelsea_wtf posted... it sounds like you want them to give you a series of magic words that fixes your brain I admit that this is partially true; I feel like I'd been squandering my time in my therapy sessions for years. Krazy_Kirby posted... why At first, I had wanted to become an actuary. I had figured I'd begin studying for the exams after college, when I did not figuratively have so much on my plate. Then I realized that I'm just not able to study efficiently nowadays. I'd been burnt out by my second-to-last semester of college and had been struggling to get by. I feel like I am hindered also by the psychological problems I have. But now, I'm not even sure if I take enough of an interest in probability and economics to want to study for actuarial exams, day and night. fishy071 posted...

That might be the point: until you can address the things that are truly on your mind you're probably not going to be able to move beyond them. If embarrassment is part of it try to let it go: therapists hear EVERYthing and are the most difficult to shock people in the world. My wife is a school psychologist, which is basically an informal adolescent version. I would say therapy works well for people who don't self-reflect well. --- Pronounced "Whup-pot". Say it.
