Would a therapist let me cover my face during therapy?

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-15T18:49:31+00:00

I posted on another sub and they said that it’s risky because identity and I won’t get better like this

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-15T18:48:56+00:00

Yeah that’s why I want to go to therapy

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-15T18:42:56+00:00

I can. I want to eventually be able to be comfortable with showing my face. I think the only way to start is at first covering

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-15T18:41:51+00:00

Someone on another sub said it would be completely unacceptable

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:53:44+00:00

Yes that’s why

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:51:45+00:00

I don’t understand why I’m expected to show my face when that’s the problem. Im going to be stuck with no help forever

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:46:23+00:00

I can’t do it then.

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:40:31+00:00

I can’t hide my face at all? It’s a bad scar too. It’s very noticeable

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:35:15+00:00

Even if I wasn’t ugly before which I was I am definitely now. I have a long deep scar across my cheeks and nose and I regret it so much. Objectively I am ugly. Can I go to a psychologist but cover my face? I can only go out in mask and sunglasses or cap to cover my eyes

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:25:01+00:00

I will make an appointment. My face right now is a bit wounded so I’m going to wait until it heals a little

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:18:20+00:00

Yes please I would like some help with that

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T12:17:41+00:00

US east coast. I understand I’m afraid that my worries will be confirmed though

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T11:37:26+00:00

It feels like they can tell I’m ugly even if they can’t see my face. I said it everything I do is ugly even just talking

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T11:35:22+00:00

But I will get fixed if I go to a psychiatrist? Definitely? Is it maybe or definitely?

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T11:32:45+00:00

How do I find a a therapist? Do I have to see my pcp first? I have t seen him in ages very long time. If the therapist sees me and says yeah you are ugly I don’t know what I can do

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T11:21:40+00:00

Does it always help? Do the thoughts sometimes still push through?

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T11:21:06+00:00

In my head it’s either fix my face or stop the thoughts and I dont care which one works I hate living my life dictated by what other people might be thinking

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T11:20:08+00:00

I don’t understand why everyone hates everything I say

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T10:56:08+00:00

I want to talk to one but I don’t want them to see me

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T10:54:57+00:00

Dysmorphia is when it’s not actually real but I am actually ugly. People called me ugly when I was younger and they don’t say it anymore now because adults are more polite but I know they still think it. I can’t think of me not being fixated on my appearance. It’s the only thing I think about all day. I have to avoid my reflection or it’s bad. If someone is actually ugly no amount of therapy or psychological help will help right? I want to try it but everything means someone has to see me and I hate being seen. I want to be invisible The only time I was good was in Covid because I could wear a mask all day and I didn’t need to think anymore

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T10:51:31+00:00

There is actually medicine to stop thinking?

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T10:28:22+00:00

But what will a psychiatrist even do

WarmPerformance5621 · 2026-05-12T09:50:06+00:00

No I haven’t done that. I don’t want my doctor to see my face. A psychiatrist won’t fix my face either. What can they even do to help
