It's all therapy, to get "fixed", and I'm bored out of my mind by now if I think of that. 
Can I ask you what it is that you'd like from regular therapy on top of such mental health education? The things that others listed in this thread, having someone with empathy where you don't have to reciprocate, stuff like that or something completely different?
I'm just asking because I'd just like to hear from people on this question, especially as compared to the above. |
For me the psycho-social aspect of therapy that I need is skills for dealing with intense self harm urges and with hallucinations and delusions. But as for regular therapy, I just need help with some life skills, relationship skills, self empathy skills and of course having someone who cares that is listening to me when I talk. I am not there to get "fixed' as I believe I am never going to be "fixed" but I am there to get well. And by get well I mean, not having active SI, not having active SH, and having a greater quality of life.
