therapy

Focused on the relationship between doctor and patient. Therapy is the process of self-discovery.

The Story Nobody Cares About.
"You understand that you are going to have to be on medication for the rest of your life?" That's what Dr. Foxton was asking me as I sat on a cold, folding dark brown chair. It was a small room that was way too bright, and my newly assigned psychiatrist was looking down at a piece of paper as he asked me ridiculous questions from a computer screen. This was something he was clearly used to. He probably has another 50 patients after me just ready to sign off on a drug to fix them right up. Maybe if he just so happens to guess the right drug on the right patient, he might save a life or two. Who knows? Maybe he will save us all.

3 Signs That Your Therapist Is Actually Toxic For Your Mental Health
Almost immediately after I entered college, my life started falling apart. The flimsy tapes I had used to tape my mental sanity started crumbling down. The small cracks started widening and the hold I had started slipping away. The wounded and unresolved childhood trauma started showing up, taking up the form of mood swings and random crying spells.

This Won't Go Over Well
If you've made it this after the Title and Subtitle told you this was going to be bad, you're either the a self absorbed asshole with a dark sense of humor that likes to laugh at their own demise, or some self loathing piece of shit that is looking to be triggered so you have some inspiration to write about how "mental health isn't a joke" or something like that.

Cheers, To My Therapist
If the quote "expect the unexpected" was a year, it would be 2020. We went from "new year, new me" to where is my mask? Nine months into this pandemic, I am still unwilling to accept the term "new normal." Celebrating birthdays alone isn't normal; standing outside of a grocery store to buy eggs isn't normal. Reminding my three your old niece to place the mask over her nose isn't normal and visiting our grandparents through a screen door isn't normal. That term, to me, means we have given up. I can openly admit that I didn't complete one new year's resolution, and I'm ok with that. This year introduced a ton of surprises politically, socially, and economically. Days tended to run together, and celebrating birthdays was a task within itself. But, one person who stood the test of time and was with me every step of the way through my surgery, COVID anxiety, re-introducing myself, and continuously talking me off the ledge was my therapist.

Prompt: The Creeps
What is your story? People are fighting for what they believe in, in their hearts. We struggle with different faces that we have to put on to make sure we reflect another perspective on those who view us in the world. Some say this would be called a Jack/Jane of all trades. Have you found yourself drowning in your problems? Have you found a way out? Or do they attach themselves to you like shackles that you are unable to break? Can you tell your darkest secret out loud for the world to hear? Do you think that could release some of the pain that you feel? We hide the things we don't want people to see about us for fear of judgment.

What's the difference between therapy and talking to a friend?
Oftentimes, when the topic of psychotherapy comes up in conversation you may hear a variety of reluctant or skeptical remarks. One common argument against seeking therapy may be something along the lines of: "I don't need to pay for someone to talk to me, I can talk to my friends." This is a common misconception that can prevent people from living life to the fullest. So what really is the difference between speaking to a therapist, or reaching out to a friend or family member? Why is it beneficial to pay a stranger to speak with you, if you already feel like you have people you can talk to? In this article, I will discuss some of the differences, as well as some of the unique benefits of therapy.

The Differences Between Online and In-Person Therapy
(Note: The words “therapist” and “counselor” are used interchangeably, as well as “therapy” and “counseling”) If you were thinking of trying therapy for the first time and wanted to know if in-person or online therapy will suit you, this is it. If I could sweeten the deal, I want you to know I am a therapist and have been on the receiving end of both methods.
