5 Thoughts I Have During Therapy

I can't help but wonder if my therapist is laughing because I'm genuinely funny or because I'm paying her to listen to my problems.

5 Thoughts I Have During Therapy

In This Article:


I have a love-hate relationship with therapy and have been going for many years now. I have come to the conclusion no matter how long I'm in therapy these will always be some recurring thoughts.

1. Is She Really Going To Keep My Secrets

I understand that my life probably isn't very interesting but, does a therapist ever go home to their significant other and tell them about a patients life? Does she hit her group chats with, "omg you will not believe what this patient just said."?

2. Finally It's All About Me

Talking about yourself and all your problems for an hour or so without having anyone switch it onto themselves is a really good feeling. Sometimes you just need to focus on yourself without having someone try to relate to your issue instead of just listening.

3.I Get To Talk Crap Now

Yes, I do talk junk about every single person in my life when I go to therapy. I'm not saying I focus my entire session on other people but it is a time to complain or express my thoughts on certain people. There is no way that the person or people are going to find out and it feels great to get some things off your chest.

4. Are You Laughing Because I'm Funny Or Because I'm Paying You?

I consider myself to be a pretty funny person but in one of those splits moments I can't help but wonder if my therapist is laughing because I'm genuinely funny or because I'm paying her to listen to my problems.

5. No I Do Not Want To Dig Into The Real Problem

There have been many of times during my therapy sessions where I have dodged speaking about a larger issue or an underlying issue just because I simply don't want to, even though that is one of the reasons why I go to therapy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
