Get A Therapist Who Truly Understands You

Therapy is good. Therapy is necessary for stable mental health. Therapy should be normalized and more taxpayer funds should be used for counseling and psychological help services. On this fact, my left-leaning moderate ass is starkly liberal.

Our country is experiencing a mental health crisis this year. Unsurprisingly, the rate of young people who are seeking help for anxiety and depression has skyrocketed in 2020 and nearly a quarter of US citizens have unmet mental health needs.

No wonder the first ten counselors I called this year never picked up the phone. Busy as hell, much?

Therapists are in high demand. I want everyone to have free therapy whether they feel ‘fucked up’ or not, but the past eight months have been fucked. However, there’s a difference between talking to a therapist who truly understands you and one who does not.

I’m in my mid 20s. I stomped through my fair share of doctors and therapists before I found someone who worked.

I had a family therapist for a few months in high school with her Masters degree in Clinical Psychology who gave me life advice for general hostility and rage. You probably would be too if you’d suffered emotional suppression and abuse. But of course, please! Tell me it’s a problem with me and not with the people who are raising me.
