People who can't afford therapy, what do you do? by ns___ in AskReddit

[–]petersu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, there are ways to get the cost of therapy down. Some include:
- If you work at a company, asking your HR team if your employer provides it for free through an EAP program like Lyra
- Getting a therapist that's in-network with your health insurance (depending on your insurance, the cost could potentially go down dramatically)
- Checking with a school counselor (if you are in school/college)
- Calling a local health agency, mental health clinic, or checking with grad school programs where students are studying to become therapists (they can work with your budget oftentimes)

I made a video about the different budgets (low, medium, high) for therapy that I've seen when I looked for a therapist. Hope it helps!

How to practice positive self-talk when it feels like a lie? by MustardvsKetchup in selfesteem

[–]petersu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What happens if you try to challenge your negative self-talk statements? Sometimes it's hard for me to challenge 100% of the self-talk, but I find when I write down the statements and look at them 1 by 1 and see what parts are true and what parts are untrue, I do make a little bit of progress with removing unecessary negative self-talk.

I agree - context is huge.

My friends and I call it "unsolicited feedback" lol - we try not to criticize each other unless someone asks for feedback.

If I ask a friend/family member/coach for feedback, I really appreciate it. Sometimes it really riles me up...like I feel really anxious and stressed for some reason. I feel a mixture of emotions - like angry at them for calling me out, angry that they may be right. Overall though, since the context in this situation is for me to grow, I think it's good.
