Therapy?

staphory said

Die to ongoing issues my wife thinks I need therapy. She discussed it with her therapist and that lady agrees. I am not one that sees any way that just talking about my issues with a complete stranger would help in any way. I’m more of an introvert and never feel completely comfortable around people I know well. Trying to discuss personal stuff with a complete stranger would be very stressful for me.
Nevermind the fact that maybe I just need to man up and get over myself.
Anybody got any experience with this sort of thing?

You can't go cos somebody makes you go. Well, you CAN but that mos def won't do you any good. So YOU have to come to the realization that this is something YOU think you need. Do you need it? I mean, probably. I think everyone has something that is probably good to talk to somebody about. Yes, talking about issues with a complete stranger can be helpful.

But like has been said, it has to be the RIGHT person. I'm an introvert myself and very private. I keep a lot of things up there in my head. That isn't good. Sometimes those things just need to get out of my head by saying them. And I don't necessarily think that's supposed to be comfortable. But it does have to be someone you trust. And it's also not a "man up" thing. Going to therapy has got nothing to do with being a man or a woman.
