Do you divulge EVERYTHING in your past to your therapist?

Some skeletons need to remain in that closet

she knows everything

The closest I come to a therapist for me is when the doctor races through the mental health questions during my yearly physical. As if an old crusty like me is going to tell a kid half my age anything about my issues, anyway.

I've had experiences with both holding back information and being completely honest. I finally made more progress when I started being more honest and talking about things I was ashamed of.

I am my only therapist… I pick myself up and get myself through which I learnt very early to depend on myself only.

I find, you got to remeber this person your talking to wasnt there. They dont know the story. They just paint a picture based on what your saying and it could be a totally different scenario to them. There are some things i cant tell anyone because they will never truly understand because the didnt live through it themselves. What you tell people can change what they think of you.

I have never seen one.

Instead, I come on here to divulge.

A loon in the loony bin!

I'll talk about what I want to talk about if he wants to change the subject he can pay me

I found that makes it worse

She knows everything

I don’t go to therapy anymore, but when I did I did tell her about everything about my past. I had some social anxiety about some things and it was necessary to talk about it all. It was really helpful.

I don't have a therapist at the moment.

But I am looking to invest in the services of one someday in the near future.

Why go if you are going to hide what you are trying to heal from. N, I do not hide anything.

Never been to a therapist. But had I been, I doubt I would. Something don`t need to be known.

id never go to a therapist.. id rather be mental..

If I had one Id assume so

Mostly/yes if relevant to the topic bothering me.

Pretty much everything.

I hate therapists, my mother forced me to seeing one in the 80's, and I was forced to seeing one while fighting for disability recently. All my last one did was argue, claiming I was always wrong, the clinic admins refused to address my complaints against her as the was the ONLY licensed shrink in the pathetic middle of nowhere small iowa town I was living in at the time, there was another licensed therapist, but she was "only a social worker" She recommended me for disability, but as she was "only a social worker" social security rejected her recommendation, forcing me to see the other one 🙄
