Who's in therapy?

Not reading the thread so disregard if already suggested but why not choose a therapist confused about their being a man or a woman? You are in the clear about your inevitable crying and you can finger their bussy when you inevitably fall in love?
 
I don't know if it is because of how I was raised, or just the way my personality is, but I am a common sense guy. I have been through and seen some fucked up shit, but I know none of it has anything to do with me or who I am, so I can let the shit go. My Dad died in my arms....I miss him, but Death is part of life. I had teenage girls play doctor on me when I was only 8 or 9. I look back on it for what it was and don't blame myself. I grew up in a tough town and saw and experienced some stuff. The more people you talk to, most had something happen to them when they were kids. Nothing happened that I can't compartmentalize and move on. But if therapy works for you, I am all for it.

Not trying to take a shot at you but it kinda seems like you put the blinders on. Integrating traumatic experiences in a healthy way and processing them is little different than saying, "I'm ok with it". Have you tried therapy for any length of time on a consistent basis? Might offer you some healthy insight.

Will do, I've been pretty proactive in trying to get past these issues - it's a life time of ignoring them and self medicating (no longer drink, almost 9yrs sober) so it's a slow process.

Similar boat, here. We have of a way spending our lives working ourselves into giant stress balls, only to look for quick fixes when the body/mind start rebelling against it. Best of luck on your journey.

I think he's got a point. Most of us have traumas that we never really fully-processed, but whose wound has long since formed into scar tissue, and we moved on with our lives. I don't see a reason to open those old wounds, without a compelling reason to do so. Just .02.

Psychiatrist prescribing SSRI's... Escort giving you cocaine... same difference really.

I know which will make you happier afterwards.

What!!! Amber told me it was definitely a SSRI powder!!! And to get the best results needed to be snorted off her naked body?!?!

Sounds like my kind of therapist... does she require a referral?

She only asks that you accept her for who she is and blow said powder via a straw occasionally up her arsehole, during the "therapy" session....... You also need to respect her 2 day massage therapist certificate......

I just started recently. Losing two close friends (deployed to Afghanistan twice with both) to suicide and another to getting hit by a vehicle kind of pushed me over to finally get help. Haven't been put on any medications, but talking about some things has helped. Supposed to be getting some sort of check lists at my next appointment, which will be in person. Really want to get my anger issues under control. Nothing external, just internal and I shut down.

I also have a very supportive wife who has been there with me through the worst episodes. I met her three months after my 2012 Afghan deployment. Wasn't a good time in my life, but she helped me through a lot. Really surprised she stuck around then.
