therapy

Is therapy a waste of time? ive been to a therapist before and i felt hes all up in his head and rambling and felt i wasted my time...

What does a good therapist do to you? Were you traumatized and in what sense? relational, trust, etc.? What did you do and did it help? How long did you go to a therapist?

i wouldn't dismiss the concept of therapy after trying just one therapist....but it sounds like you intuit this already:)

sometimes it just takes some trial and error. depends a lot on the therapist's unique personality and style, how the two of you vibe, and also the therapist's specific school (cbt, dbt, ifs, etc.).

the length of the therapy depends a lot on your diagnosis as well as your own willingness to proactively tackle the challenges you seek support with.

Depends what you mean by therapy? A therapist is often not the most effective or helpful person, or form of therapy you may even need.

Here is my preferred form of therapy that over-time actually provides lasting results. The forest is for-rest

If you can learn to redevelop your connection and service to nature, you will eventually no longer need therapy.

It all starts with a walk into a forest or a garden project, enliven your living space, and see it enlighten you. 

You may even become therapy to others one day
