I just do memes

Not personally but I would highly reccomend them as an option for anyone who needs some mental health or emotional support for any vareity of issues.

You gotta believe anyone who is skeptical of therapy as a field needs to only look at what happened with former WWE Superstars Daniel Bryan and Kane.

Daniel Bryan was a technical mastermind and unpeered high-flying athlete who could outwork any opponent he ever faced and tie them up in knots.

Meanwhile on the flipside, The Devil's Favorite Demon Kane was 6,10 and 336 pounds of pure muscle. More of a Big Red Machine than a man, it often seemed like Kane was impervious to pain and there wasn't a superstar on the roster he hadn't effortlessly overpowered and destroyed.

On paper these two are unparalled in their skillsets and there wouldn't be anyone on Earth who could match up to them in the ring. If you're strong or tough? Kane is stronger and tougher. If you're fast and technical? Bryan is faster and knows a counter to everything you can do.

The problem was both men were as polar opposite outside the ring as they were inside of it and could not get along. An outraged conservative and a furious liberal, virtually the one and only thing they both hand in common was severe anger issues.

Which despite their incredible tag team accumen made it seemingly impossible for them to get along on a personal level.

This was until they attended sessions with couples therapist Dr Shelby who attempted to get to the root of the problem of why 2 men who were so undeniably talented and have so much respect for each other could have so much anger and no healthy way to express it.

Despite intense resistence from 2 juggernaunt personalities at the start, Dr Shelby managed to do the impossible and over an extended period of soul-searching sessions he helped them learn to understand and appreciate each other for who they were despite their differences.

Instead of shouting or getting violent. Bryan and Kane would now hug each other every time they felt irritated by the other.

And this perspective shift lead them to becoming Team Hell-No. Winning the coverted WWE Tag Team Championships and being near unstoppable for entire run as they perfectly balanced each other out.

In the end the only reason Kane and Daniel Bryan stopped being the greatest tag team in the world is because they were both too busy becoming millionaire world champions.

Kane's new-found anger management techniques allowed him to get into politics and become the mayor of Knox county.

Meanwhile Daniel Bryan is now so calm that he took a sabbatical from sports entertainment over a year ago and still has not been since.

If that doesn't make you realize how effective therapy can be you have to wonder what else possibly can.

I did at one point. Saved my job at the time. A little bit of context: I was working a security job where I was being vastly overworked. 12-16 hour shifts, 29/30 days a month. Highly illegal, but my boss didn't give a shit. I worked what was known as the boonies, places off the beaten path where they had roads being developed or power grids being reworked. Great areas, very quiet, but also very boring.

Wasn't allowed to leave site for any reason, meaning no bathroom breaks outside of going in the woods. No protective equipment either. Never needed it, but it was fucking stupid. Anyways, after a period of time, I got caught leaving my site because it was my 15th shift in a row with no break in sight, so I went to my buddys house to relax with him, because I deserved a day off. Went back to site only to have one of higher ups waiting there to tell me that I was fired. I asked to go to therapy instead (which apparently is an option), I did, and my boss got fired by the owner of the company after he found out how bad the state of things were. I was given a higher paying job, which I eventually messed up, (I digress), but it was a better area. with slightly higher pay and actual bathrooms.

Fuck that job, I'll never go back working there.

I tried it for about 6 months maybe 6 years ago. It did not go as planned.

Nah. I don't really have money for it. I did the university nearby is offering free services, so it may be worth it. Trying to talk to the ones who hurt me never works out.

i used one last year for a few months but I don't think it did anything for me.

No, I don't live in a country that gives its citizens access to health care
