I start tomorrow and I'm kinda second guessing myself

go for it babe

I understand the stigma and sometimes we think we don?t necessarily need it but I?ve considered it and am still considering it.

It doesn?t mean we?re weak, broken or even necessarily mentally damaged. People seek therapy for a multitude of reasons and we have to stop judging ourselves and others for choosing to go that route. 

I say that in general by the way, because
i haven?t read the thread yet to know why you?re doing second guessing yourself and the idea. I watched a vid of someone recently saying that therapy is a long commitment and almost like dating

Maybe the first therapist isn?t right for you and you have to keep trying with others, but try and go in with an open mind. You don?t have to completely open up the very first time, i don?t think. Any therapist that requires that is nuts lol

I went in 2012.
I think it?s an amazing thing and would recommend it to anyone.
Sometimes you just need a well equipped outsider to offer you a different perspective. And it?s good to get things off your chest with someone who isn?t going to throw it back in your face later. I learned so many things about myself and how I used to react to situations. My one advise is if it doesn?t click with the therapist, request a new 1 instantly.

Yes go

I think most of us need someone to talk to sometimes

We're just hesitant or afraid to go, especially as African Americans

[Sinpool]

All it is, atleast for me, was just talking to someone about stuff that stresses you out. I went because one of my college classes was stresses me tf out, but didn't want to complain about it to people.

They just listen and that's surprisingly enough. It doesn't have to be this big drawn out over emotional cry fest with balloons, tissue, and a hospital nurse on stand by waiting for the go ahead to book your room.

[Cartierline]

I definitely would.

I think I need to actually...

[CHOKE]

I actually regret not becoming one

Mind fucking people and making them think I actually care about their feelings is one of my best talents

[FlowerBomb]

Everyone should go actually.
We should all experience a counselling session at least once.

Yes I would go, it is always good to talk to someone and get advice. You don?t have to agree with everything they say but you might learn something. I?m trying to become more aware of my negative mind patterns and change them. I also focus more on my reactions on other people?s behavior and instead of blaming the other I try to learn why I am reacting this way. And I try to learn more about how I grew up and the people around me that also influenced me and still influence me. Sometimes it is not easy tho, recently I had to push one of my best friends away to release some of that negative thinking (his way of thinking was really contagious, I finally have more clarity)

[Stunna Gor’]

I'm all for therapy.

[Hatsumomo]

Nothing to be ashamed of. I?ve been to therapy before and honestly with the way this world is going most of us are going to need help at some point.

[LOONA.]

Nothing wrong with seeking out advice from an unbiased party. It's pretty insightful and much more helpful than going to someone you already know. I've personally never gone to therapy but I'm not against it by any means.

I'm glad black people are more open to going because all that praying shit away is detrimental to out mental health.

Yes! Go, it will be one of the best investments you ever made for yourself, within yourself. I did it because my burdens felt so heavy always angry and mad and by talking about with some in confident and them having a different perspective and helping me pull everything tthat I was bottling up and bring to the surface so I can release it! And one of the best things I could've ever did, I love through life so much freedom, and light as possible and I love it. Of course I'm not perfect, but where I use to be I have came along way to go. Therapy helped a lot with that.

this is dope real talk

Society has done a number on blacks
So it?s great to see ppl do the right thing rather than allowing the weight of the world to beat them down

Man I'm going to be real with you on some real honest shit, one of the worst things we've been taught is to keep secrets etc. That shit subconsciously somehow weighs on our spirit's and it manifest into the physical form and other parts of our life. We've been taught to carry struggle within, making life way more harder for us than it needs to be tbh.

Of course I'm not perfect, but where I use to be I have came along way to go. Therapy helped a lot with that.

When I first made the decision to go, I was really ready to unleash this load off of me. But now it's the night before and I'm CRINGING. 

I'm so detached, that it's crazy.

Fight through it. Do it for yourself, just continue to tell your self you deserve better. Keep going! That shots going to be easy at all, you will probably shed a lot of tears and feel a lot of emotions, feel em. Do it, go through it, it's gonna come to the surface either way, wouldn't you rather have control of it? Instead of it coming out in a rage and you doing something you can't take back etc...

[Scott.]

Guys. Im on the way there now with my mom and I?m nervous as hell. I?m praying in my head lol

[Lazarus]

Can't say but I wouldn't rule it out though. Good luck to you though, Scott. I hope you work through whatever issues you have with yourself and your family. You have my support.
