What is therapy like?

Question

I'm already on medication. I just need to talk things out, I think, and my social situation is kind of messed up.
My partner and I are considering counseling. Overall, I have a lot to work on.
I'm still on my mom's health insurance, if that matters. I know it varies by location and person. How do you find a psychiatrist/therapist? How does paying for it work? How long and often are sessions?

Answer

So 100% I recommend therapy for anybody and everybody. I go and my SO goes (separately).
I used to go twice monthly and now go once monthly.  The sessions are 1 hour long and I’ve been going for a few years.
It has been a life changing experience.  My only regret about it is that I didn’t go earlier in life.
It’s a place where you can talk, without judgement, to an empathetic person and gain a safe, trustworthy connection.  You end up learning SO much about yourself and gain the tools for a more fulfilling life 😊

Answer

Personally it made me worse I've tried what they want (mind i cant take meds due to the recation i have so ive been keen on no meds because it happens to alot of meds)

Answer

All counselors are different in their own ways so one or two bad experiences with the counselor doesn’t mean stop it at all just remember you can always ask to have a new counselor, so if you start therapy and you’re not happy with your counselor just remember there’s more and you’re allowed to ask for another , 1 bad experience should not determine you getting the proper help you seek
