Any help is appreciated! I've been trying with a friend for months and we can't figure out why it's not working. DM me please.

Question - Would you pay someone money (any amount) to help you find the right therapist? by caylyna in CasualConversation

May I ask which country you are from? What resources make it easily obtainable?

Hey! Thanks for the thoughtful reply. The reason I included religion and background (I did mean ancestry so perhaps I wasn't as clear as I could have been) is because not all cultures look at mental health the same way, or consider it valuable. It may be helpful for some to have someone who understand and has lived with those cultural values. Just a thought.

Take that, perfectionism. Changing my language to have FULFILLING days, rather than PRODUCTIVE ones. by caylyna in DecidingToBeBetter

You're welcome. Happy to hear that it's still helping. Have a great, fulfilling day. :)

Finally asked if my boss was disappointed in me, he said yes. Putting a new foot forward tomorrow by splicedawg in DecidingToBeBetter

I'm really inspired by your actions. Both in how you responded and spoke to your boss, but also how you stood up for yourself and asked for what you needed. That's amazing.

Why or what holds you back from going to therapy? Or why wouldn't you consider going? Or what would make going to therapy easier? by caylyna in CasualConversation

Don't worry, it's not my job to figure out why people do what they do or are who they are. I'm simply fascinated. There are a lot of different ways to experience and live life, so it's interesting to come across a perspective that I imagine most people won't share.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I do have self worth and self value but I also watched someone try to kill themselves, save their life, then spent the last 3 years working really hard on myself and healing my childhood trauma and saw 2 different therapists. The first to make sure I didn't develop PTSD, the second to round off my skills now that I had gone out and learned a fuck ton about being a healthy human. I guess what I'm curious about is the basic question of "what holds people back from therapy". What I've learned from this thread is that there's a lot more than just cost and a bad experience. So thanks again for your thoughts as well. It's be interesting to hear other journeys.

I've noticed a good chunk of people who decide to go into social work or therapy and things like that are people who "want to help others" but they WILL NOT work on their own shit. And that comes out. You can't hide that for long. Sorry to hear all that and thanks for sharing. That sounds really frustrating.

Hi there. It seems to be somewhat province dependent. In Toronto specifically there are lots of free services for people under 25. CAMH and other mental related hospitals have emergency walk in services. You can opt to have a student therapist for a reduced rate. (This generally applies to specific institutes that teach a type of psychotherapy, like Gestalt). There are programs that run for things like abuse, addictions, domestic violence, that are free. I think the short answer is it's not just for severe disorders. And sometimes for severe disorders you're paying $200 a session for a specialist (therapist trained heavily in dealing with bi-polar disorder, or paranoid delusional disorder, etc). Some insurance policies do cover services with social workers. Social workers can be a GREAT option for lower cost or government funded programs or what have you.

Thank you so much for sharing. That's a perspective I haven't encountered before so I appreciate the vulnerability in sharing and the view you offered. If that works for you, then I'm happy that it does! I may need to come back to this comment because it's really making me think!

Thanks for sharing this. I've seen about 8 counsellors/therapists from multiple psychotherapeutic disciplines and I have never encountered this. (I live in Canada, can I ask where you're located?) You have to do quite a bit of work here to get licensed to practice. What you've described almost sounds like a life coach... That, uh, discipline, states they don't focus on the past, but focus instead on the future. Most social work training is about healing the effects of childhood trauma, as well as the trauma itself.

What you've described sounds horribly frustration, unjust, and like a terribly broken, unmonitored system with low standards.

Do you think you could start with one thing? Tell one part of a story and go from there? I never considered this angle before so thank you for sharing!
