How to go see a therapist without parents knowing?
I just really need help right now. I'm worried about what I might do in the future if I don't get help. I've gone to one before or whatever, and my mom stopped taking me after two visits because she thought I was fine. But she did keep sending me to a family therapist because my stepdad and I argue..Wooo.. **There aren't any adults I trust enough to talk to. I'm just wondering if there was anything I could do?** I can't really talk to my mom about this. We have a relationship where I don't ask her for advice, help, etc. She only makes doctor appointments if it's for my physical health. Is there anything I can do?
How can I convince my mother not to take me to therapy?
I would love to understand more about your behaviors. Right now we are in the grey area. You mentioned your mom wants to take you to therapy because of what you have been doing recently.Without us knowing the reasons, then how can we be help? We don't want to just take your side with the information you gave us. Also we don't want to be on your mom side. We don't know both the stories.When I was young I went to therapy. It was the best thing that has ever happened to me.I always fight in school and I got in the biggest trouble of my life. Sued by the state of Hawaii. State of Hawaii sued me!I can't even comprehend the level of my emotions. I was feeling. The state of Hawaii told me to go therapy along with anger management class.Going to therapy was the best thing that has ever happened to me. The BEST THING! I would recommend it to anyone!Why? Well as for me, I am not sure about other therapy place. It was exactly like the movie. I sat down and they just asked if how my feeling was.It was an amazing feeling because someone is here to listen to all my nonsense. From all my anger I didn't know I was just in the struggle. Transitioning from teen to adult. I was in between and I was confuse.After my therapy session I felt like a new person. It was the best thing in the world.Right now you are fighting your mother on something you have never been too.Why? Is it cause you feel like you are being labeled as someone crazy? Because all the crazy people go therapy? No, not exactly. That's just a label.It's like me inviting you to come to Hawaii. You refuse to come to Hawaii? Why? Have you ever been here? Give it atleast 3 days.Give it a chance. You came here for an answer. Here is an answer from one person that just wants you to take a chance.
Does Physical Therapy Help Lower Back Pain?
I have lower back pain and my doctor has told me I need physical therapy. Both my mother and my father in law have had physical therapy for their lower back pain and said it made them hurt worse. Has physical therapy helped anyone else with lower back pain? What kind of exercises do they have you do? I have Multiple Sclerosis and going through a "flare up" with it right now (I am hardly able to walk, bend, move my hands/arms...hell I can't even dress myself). I am not sure if I will even be able to do the exercises.
How can I see a therapist for bulimia without my parents finding out?
Being a therapist, I can tell you, there are laws that protect the confidentiality of therapy sessions, just like another respondent indicated. However, if you are a dependent, it's likely that your state requires a parent or guardian to co-sign on your registration for therapy sessions (your initial visit). I also treat people with eating disorders. One important element is if you already know you have an eating disorder, your family needs to be a part of your recovery. I don't want to discourage you from getting help, but you might want to consider that your development of an eating disorder isn't something that you just "made up" -- it happened within your family, and it happened for a reason. There could be both genetic and environmental reasons. Most of the current literature on the treatment of eating disorders support what I just told you: family treatment ensures the best recovery. Eating disorders are difficult to overcome, but my work is a testimony that people can and do get better. They just get better faster if they have support from family and friends. One solution: go to your doctor for a medical reason, and ask to speak to the physician alone. Get a referral for a therapist who treats eating disorders (and other things), and that way the doctor can do the referral without your parents knowing exactly what you're being seen for. When you're ready, you can tell your parents, or your therapist can make the call for a family meeting with your permission.

Am i wasting my time and money with this therapist?
During your entire question you take NO responsibility for your part in the relationship. By relationship I mean the therapeutic relationship, which is supposed to be the place for you to heal. Therapists are not trained to give advice. They are the tool you may use to deal with your issues. You referred to wanting to get "things out of your unconscious". That kind of therapy is based on Freudian psychodynamic theory and unless your therapist has the term, psychoanalyst after her name, I doubt that's what you signed up for. Psychoanalysis takes YEARS and is not covered by insurance companies. Therapy nowadays tends to be brief, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral. You bring the problem(s), therapist evaluates, guides, you try different ways of thinking or acting, therapist evaluates again, if it worked you're "cured" if it didn't you did it all over again. It's based on the scientific method. Next time you go to therapy, try to focus on relationships with woman. Bear in mind that your difficulty with "her" (therapist) may be nothing less than a reflection of the problem you went into therapy with (i.e., insecurity around woman). Interesting....
