I have visited multiple therapists in my life and just had nothing to talk about because I already know exactly why I am acting how I am. I know why my life is fucked up and what I could do to fix it. I'm just not doing it
Everyone feels like this. A therapist isn't going to tell you things about yourself you didn't know.
Think of it like a personal trainer. We all know that exercising regularly will help maintain good health, but few people actually do it. A PT can help you develop a regime which is achievable and targeted to your goals.
I really don't think "everyone" understands their life and internal psychology that much.
I guess I genuinely don't know.
There's certainly people in my life that just don't seem to have any self awareness at all.
I guess I always just thought that those people probably have some awareness but they just never acknowledge it.
It’s turtles all the way down. Someone gets a great routine from a PT, does it for six days, and never again.
How do you give someone an internal locus of control?
Do the things. And leave your copay with my secretary. I need to release my findings. I just cured your ADHD!
Thank you for your individualized assessment that ignores all of my other interconnected problems to present an individualized solution that would fix exactly nothing i care about. I will now pay you 80$ co-pay and refrain from explaining how I'm better at your job thatln you are.
