Therapy and transferrence issues etc etc.

I wondered how many people here are actively in therapy and what type? There doesn't seem to be a designated forum for it.

I was recently availing of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). It did not 'cure' me in the way that they promised but, then again, I was never diagnosed properly.

Kevin.

when i went to therapy i found it useless , it was like paying a guy to be mildly entertained by me, but he felt like it was work.

i am however hyper-self-analitical. id rather drink wine with strangers, at least they are not charging me. ive been experiancing depression for what i suppose to be the first time in my life , dont get me wrong ive felt my share of sorrow, but lately i found it disconcerting to feel hope dwindling, when i feel depresion i think i need to make changes. mabey if i change, i will find hope

Thats a hard one, trying to reconcille paying someone to listen to us. I look at it like this, I need someone that is able to drop all pre-concieved judgements against me and be able to listen properly. There aren't many people out there that can do that, even if they may think they can. Sooooo someone who has been trained and has been through analyst themselves is my only chance. They have to make a living also and because they've decided to help others, they can't just do it for the love of it.

I spent many yrs drinking and talking to anyone that would listen, it didnt work. I've found this way has helped me amensly. This is the first relationship I've had that is honest and real. I've tried so many self destructive ways to escape myself, this is the first time, I've done myself a favour and found something that helps me face myself and learn to like myself and not have to run.
