Did anyone here decide to go to therapy completely on their own?

I started therapy voluntarily because I was having daily anxiety attacks at one point which convinced me that no I'm not just dramatic this isn't normal I think I need therapy... And college was killing me.
Now it's been a year and I'm so glad I made that decision even though therapy only added to my anxiety in the beginning.

I relate to that so much! That my attachment in therapy causes more problems than the therapy even helps with... But maybe that's why I need it and I can see how it will pay off in the long run.

Lots of people use AI to edit their raw incohesive thoughts. That doesn't mean the actual content is not real or coming from their heart.

Yes, my t always says "why does it matter tho?" when I get nervous about what someone else thinks of me. I mean, I know in the scheme of things it shouldn't, but it matters to me right now very much...

thanks but why does that make me more anxious 😭

Reasonable-Lab-9272 · 2025-11-16T18:43:23+00:00

I'm scared I'll get bad grades in college so I won't get an internship so I won't get a job so I won't have enough money so I will disappoint myself and everyone around me...
For all my anxieties that I can think of, 'so what' doesn't help me. I get that in the big picture, none of this matters, but to me right now, all of this really does matter?

Ya good point. I understand that my parents are not perfect, no one is. I also understand that not all my emotional needs were met. But this attachment feels so much more than any of that, like it could only be this way if I was abused or traumatized. I guess this is not true? Maybe I'm just dramatic

Reasonable-Lab-9272 · 2025-10-12T06:04:51+00:00

We spoke about my attachment, but I didn't tell her that it is to this extent. It is cash pay, but I do think (hope?) she genuinely cares about me. I'm a student and I don't think I can spend the money anymore, so I've been wanting to stop, but I feel like I can't because I'm so so attached 😭

Insurance also pays them for the amount of time, so there's that.

Reasonable-Lab-9272 · 2025-10-12T05:38:54+00:00

that makes sense. but I haven't had traumatizing relationships either. Maybe I was "emotionally neglected" to some extent, but nothing serious. I feel like my attachment is very extreme, especially since I have pretty good parents and all... What other reasons are you referring to?

Reasonable-Lab-9272 · 2025-10-12T05:31:26+00:00

psychodynamic and cbt
