>Therapy: Thousands of dollars>Writing my negative thoughts in a text file, reading it back to myself, and making fun of it like I'm reading a Reddit post: FreeEasy decision.
>>83091580It's not healthy to make fun of yourselfTherapists are dumb. I tried it and it was extremely pointless. Just make r9k posts, it's the best therapy due to all the remarkably intelligent and helpful gentlemen on here.
>>83091580Several forms of therapy are essentially trying to teach you how to do techniques exactly like that.
>>83091605Everyone says "my therapist told me this or that" and it's always insightful quotes or techniques that helped them. And then I go to therapy and it's a dumb foid who tells me obvious things. JflI'm done paying for therapy. I still go but it's on public healthcare, and it's an appointment every month or two months. It's not great but I don't want to pay to be disappointed.
>>83091629>I go to therapy and it's a dumb foid who tells me obvious thingsThere are a million different kinds of therapists. Like they have different schools of psychology and specialize in different types of therapy. And yeah a lot of them will indeed just sit there and talk to you without really going anywhere. You have to know what you're looking for and what your goals in therapy are. And of course luck out by getting an actually good therapist, but that's basically every profession, there's always hacks out there. "Useful techniques" usually come from behaviorists who do stuff like CBT and DBT.
