God help everyone if I ever had to lead a support group for anything. Touchy-feely stuff is not my forte.

Ooooo, boy I feel you on that one haha.

I went to a group therapy session once since my then counsellor recommended it ...and...it was really awkward. They asked us "why do are you here?" And I answered to get better/improve (because otherwise, I don't see any point in being there) but everyone just looked at me funny, wouldn't talk hardly during the session. Therapist asked if everyone agreed and they all said no. So I'm like wtf is the point of this session??

Maybe I'm insensitive, but I thought the purpose of going to therapy is to get help to fix issues/problem areas in life...

Then I had the FLIP side where the therapist was like "Just THINK positive, you'll feel better." Oh gee Doc, I didn't think of that. I'm not some damn hippy who's going to think "positive vibes" all the time. And she focused on a lot of non-issue and trivial things in my life while ignoring the stuff I really needed help with...

Soooo...not a fan of group settings nor therapy in general but I'm a hard ass and old school. It's possible that I haven't found a good one yet.

Same 😂 The reason I dropped my psychology studies to go into math/physics instead lol. Much better fit
