Do you or have you ever had

Yes. I'm supposed to have finished it whilst in hospital but they deferred the last appointment. Now I can't get to the place. It seems silly. The way I feel, I feel like it needs to start all over again because everything has changed. |

Not proper therapy no...
Just a few weeks of a counsellor and a few mindfulness classes.
You would be surprise how many people have had therapy.
You never know what a person has been through. |

I have had physiotherapy and I am so very thankful to my physio. 11 months of treatment to help me recover from ACL & meniscus reconstruction. As well as the physical help my physio also supported me through a very emotional journey to full recovery. Something I am beyond grateful for.

"A little when I was a teen.

I've been the person who's helped other people for my entire life really. It started when my parents divorced when I was about 5. What I'm finding is when I need some help and support, there's pretty much no-one there to reciprocate. |

"Therapy?
This is a safe space. "
Therapy as in counselling? Yes.
Also, and unrelated, recently discovered I have PTSD from undiagnosed childhood trauma.
So guessing I'll be having some more therapy soon.  |

I'm currently undergoing physiotherapy, so is hubby but he has also started seeing a therapist as an alternative to taking anti-depressants, think it might be too early to tell how that is going.

No but I've had a few guys call round to chat, one had a rough Northern Ireland tour, Warrenpoint and a member of his patrol shoot in the head by his own driver, he's good 95% of the time but does drift into dark places, so far none suicidal |

Every week for the last 5 years (give or take a few months)
Has it worked, well I'm still alive, it got me off the alcohol and gambling. But just not sure if its the meds or the therapy that's made it easier. Haven't tried to take my life since so there's another bonus.
I just hate the "stigma" like I tell someone im in therapy, or I have a mental health issue, and instantly feel looked down on for not being right.
Just going to put this here though.... Well done to those who've stepped up and said I need help I know it was probably hard, but you did it 3 |

Yes, had to find the right kind though. Got sent for a particular event but actually needed to talk about things more urgently but they weren't interested. It's a shame because if they had listened they would have realised how intertwined it all was but I left them and found someone else so have still never really dealt with what I was sent for in the first place.

"No but I actually want to train as a councillor/therapist for when I retire  "
I actually feel bad for therapists sometimes. One asked me about how ptsd effects me... she had to ask me to stop.
Like massive respect for them because that's definitely not an easy job. So I hope you do and it goes really well because we need people like yourself who's willing to give it a go! |

No. I couldn't think of anything worse.
A good friend goes to therapy and recommends therapy for everything. She's talked her girlfriend, ex husband and her kids into going, for different issues each  She knows not to bother suggesting it to me. |

Yep. I got myself six months of therapy after my ltr ended. It was my 40th birthday present to myself.
She was great. I've tried a few shorter stints since but didn't have a rapport with them at all. It really is about finding the right person.
There should be no stigma attached to therapy in this day and age. It's basic self care for a lot of people and life saving for some. |

Absolutely,
And practiced it.
But meditation takes me much further (although therapy is still great if you click with the therapist, which I did).
I am only this sparkling, poetic jewel of rational, logical insanity today because of them both.
And the aliens, obvs. |

Oh hell yeah. Not currently but have in the past. Doesn't work for everyone, or for every problem. If your struggling though Op it's a good starting point to finding a solution or coping mechanism.
Exercise and meditation/yoga are 2 others that immediately come to mind. |

Started counselling a few months ago and it's been good for having a safe space to bring out all thoughts and issues. Stops things going around in your head.
Hope to start psychotherapy in a few months |

Yeah on 2 separate occasions once whilst I was young and dealing with grief but didn’t really take that in at the time, since had therapy and took on a lot more and helped me deal with it/ change my perspective and stop ruminating |

Yeah it will be hard and having those emotional boundaries of my own will be a challenge but I think of all the good it would do and I feel like it’s just what I wanna do  |

Yes, a few times when I was younger. Saw a child psychologist, therapist and behavioural specialist multiple times.
Also had mandatory drug counselling (due to being in supported housing at the time), but I didn't have a problem, so we just talked about my past and relationship with my mother.
Actually the best time I've ever spent with a counsellor. He was a really nice bloke and helped me realise quite a few things about myself and how I took the blame for many of my mother's wrongdoings.
With mental health playing such a large part of people's daily lives, it's important to make sure you're doing okay. If you're not, there is always help available and you shouldn't feel ashamed about asking for it.
Therapy combined with research have helped me through so many things and I'm better than ever. |

I tried, twice. Two different therapists. Neither one had the slightest idea what to say when I told them what had happened to me. Speechlessness is not a good trait for such people. I never tried again. |

Actually no. But probably should have had... might stop me being the border line psychopath wanting to do my mad max and run everybody of the road each morning 
(I know it's a serious subject, and yes I do probably need therapy)
