I am having a problem paying my Psychiatrist $250 a session. I realize he is a MD, but it's a lot of money, even if I can afford it. When I bring up cost it's " we need to see why money is an issue for you." How do I get out of therapy? I feel like I can get quality therapy for less than half the price. But since I have issues sticking up ...

Hi everyone

I have been seeing a psychologist since early 2016 but I dont think im getting anything out of it.
At the begining of last year I started seeing the councillor at my school for symptoms of depression and chronic stress at first I was slightly uncomfortbale but I got over that in the first 1-2 sessions and now I enjoy going sure I still get uncomfortbale when discussing my issues especially when talking ...

Does anyone here use Talkspace or Betterhelp or a similar program? What was your experience like?

I'm sorry if this isn't the appropriate forum for this post but I couldn't find one that fit.

Hello all. This will be a somewhat long post, so please bear with me, and I take completely no offense where you get tired halfway and stop reading. :)

I have suffered from mental illness for a majority of my life - I'm 34 now, but I have traumatic ...

I have what I suspect is an unusual problem, though I would be relieved to learn that it actually corresponds to some understood condition. But, assuming it is unusual, how do I go about finding someone who can really help? I don’t want to spend time and money on appointments with someone who can’t help, someone who has no clue what to do but thinks if he learns enough about me, spends enough time with ...

Recently, I started going to therapy. However, my therapist is in his late 20s and I'm early 20s. I deffinetly do not see him as a father figure. It's kind of awkward because he is a type of a man I would go for, appearance wise. I am attracted to him. I recently felt uncomfortable that this is therapy and I shared alot of information, whereas I do not know anything about him. Since I've ...

background: I've been referred for psychoanalysis on the NHS, after three assessment sessions I was told that psychoanalysis would not be the right course of action as it would mean i wouldn't be able to complete my degree (i'm a mature student having to sit out a year). instead i should complete my degree first (w/appropriate support)

tbh i'm not sure what this means. i'm guessing it's just something they tell snowflakes to make them ...

My therapist sometimes braids my hair. Is this weird? I really like it and she seems to enjoy it too. She sees it as something nurturing she can do and a way of meeting some of inner child's needs. It makes me feel special and like she likes me. I've told her before that I wish she was my mum. Does this seem like a healthy thing to do or is it kind of crossing ...

I have been having CBT, which helped with my anxiety until now. It took four weeks for it to start working, but then for a while it worked to keep my anxiety down. However, after some time, there were times I felt so calm it didn't feel right. Instead of it feeling pleasant, I just felt apathetic or bored. I felt demotivated and forgetful and I let problems pile up.

Now I have an issue ...

My father recently passed away and it's been rough. I would like to ask my therapist if he would come to the wake or funeral because is presence really helps. Is it crossing a line for me to ask this? Or would it be crossing one if he came?
