Maybe I should get a new therapist...


When I was experiencing psychosis, she kept telling me she couldn't help me and that I "have to use meds to cope with it." She never bothered teaching me grounding techniques or anything...
Yep most therapists and pdocs think that psychosis just requires medication .

But research shows that psychotherapy can be beneficial , specifically CBT based therapies

I'm thankful to have a therapist who is well versed in psychotic disorders
