> hi Deneb,
> I think there is a difference between NEEDING therapy and WANTING therapy.I think I sometimes *want* therapy for the wrong reasons...I think I just want someone to talk to, give me attention and make me feel better. No offence to psychology, but a lot of the time *I* think it is a bunch of gobbity goop, if you know what I mean...
The whole getting in touch with one's feelings and transference and all that stuff seems silly to *me*. It makes me LOL sometimes. I'm taking this one psychology course called Personal Development because I wanted to be a full time student but I didn't have enough science courses to take to be full time this semester. I basically made a list of about 10 psychology courses and took the one that wasn't full yet. This course won't count towards my degree. I watched this video about "the self" and it totally made me LOL in class...yikes. I dunno...I'm not the touchy feely type...not sure how this class is going to go!
I don't think there is anything wrong with people going to therapy. I just don't know if something like that will work for me. I also don't know if it is worth it to pay to just have a friend to talk to.
