I hate therapists. I'm totally with you on the controlling your life thing. My boyfriend used to see one and I mean, he became dependant. Me and him would get in a stupid argument about who had the heys to the car last or something, and he would have to call his therapist and talk about it or he couldnt get over it. It was really bad. Like every time the smallest thing went wrong he either called him or scheduled an appointment. It was messed up cuz his dad signed them all up for therapy, but his dad was the only one who didn't ever go. And like, as his siblings grew up they stopped going but he didnt. I had to fight him about stopping because he was so dependant. It impaired his ability to make decisions for himself. I think its really unhealthy. I think its good to see one for a very short period of time cuz I think its good to have someone to talk to, but when your therapist is number 1 on your speed dial and you can't decide weather to brush your teeth without their advice, its time to move on. I mean, my boyfriend would go in and tell the guy about the problems I was experienceing in my life. MY LIFE!! And he would come home and be like "Dr. Bowles said you should bla bla bla" and I'm like you really think I care what that kook has to say? And why are you telling him my business? I don't want him to know, I told you for YOU to know. Ugh. Me and my boyfriend couldn't get close until he stopped seeing his therapist. and then after that he learned to deal with his own problems. HE was able to cry or scream or talk about whatever was bothering him. But it took a long time. And I don't trust them because they always think you need to be on a drugs or something. And they always tell you that you need more sessions. Like, even when youre fine. Its just more money in their pocket, especially if you have a client like my boyfriend cuz his family is really wealthy and my bf was convinced he needed it. SO it was like money for nothing. I have a cousin who is an art therapist, and everytime the slightest thing goes on in my life shes like "does she need to see someone?" I'm like no bitch I'm an adult who can deal with her own problems. But I do respect that they help some people. I think family therapy is good because it gives people a chance to get things off of their chest that like controlling parents dont listen to. A therapist helps to mediate. But other than that? booo.
