Male Therapy Review 💙

 

“That’s the thing with therapy, it wasn’t what I’d imagined it to be, it’s kinda like just one day the penny drops and I’d realise why going to therapy is helping me.

 

I was expecting a huge noticeable change to come as if doing a week of ab workouts and I’d see my six pack, it’s not the case.

I’d hold to so much anger, stress and worry, and I’d internalise all of it, it wasn’t always a case that people would pick up on it, because not being funny it is quite natural for us to crack on as normal and nobody know, becomes almost a talent you could say.

 

Talking, getting the shit off your chest does help, only if you have the right people, people that perhaps help you look at things from different perspectives, now that’s great, chatting with a friend is great.

 

For me it was the oversharing, sounding like a was constantly going on a about me, only once I’d felt comfortable to actually talk then it felt like the gates would just open and everything would come out all at once. And don’t get me wrong I have, and have had, some great friendships, but it got to a point where I felt like, personally this is, that I didn’t want to share as much with my friends all the time and let loose and feel like I was just a negative vibe half the time or like a pity party.

 

So I took it upon myself to try therapy, to see what it was about and see what it could do for me, I still remember on my first session when it was like just getting to know a few things about me and my story, that I’d waffled and ranted about stuff that was completely off topic for what I wanted to talk about, but at the end I felt lighter, and that day just felt different, so I booked in again, and again, and again. 

 

I’m great at going off topic and just waffling, blessing and a curse depend on the situation, but I’m now at a place where I don’t go as regular for sessions but after a bit of time has gone on and I feel there is something I could do with getting off my chest, I go, trying to keep control of my emotions and keeping on top of it, instead of letting it control me, and my relationships with people and how I handle the stresses of which life is, I’ve definitely found it better than resorting to substances abuse, because those temporary distractions were like a little loop, it’s like a broken chair, you can distract yourself all you want but until that chair is fixed, it’s still broken, and who wants to sit on a broken chair.”
