Does therapy feel like indulgence to any of you?

Posted by pinkeye on May 5, 2005, at 17:08:54

I always feel like therapy is like self indulgence.. I mean, like there are people with much worse problems in life, and they are just fine. I am relatively much better off than most people, and if I am just going and talking about myself and paying for it to someone and doing all this regressing to childhood etc, it feels like way too much of indulgence. And it feels really guilty sometime.
Any of you guys feel that way?
I sometimes console myself that I will somehow kind of compensate for all this indulgence later in some way - by kind of helping others or in some way helping other people and pull them out and help them lead a good life. But I am wondering if I will ever do that any time. And besides, I feel what am I going to do, by getting better anyways? Why waste so much of insuarance money and everybody's time?
