My friend, you can just go to a therapist and vent, you do not need a clinical issue or diagnosis.

And therefore pay out of pocket?

I didn't realize it made a difference. I've had a few different insurances and it's always been covered to some extent if it's in-network. Never been asked to prove it was necessary.

Or make a meme about it and share with the entire internet, that works too. For instance, I once heard about this guy who was SUPER straight... (Pro-Tip: he ain't straight:-P).

$100 per session maybe, go once a quarter

That's around the rate in my town anyway.

[-] johnlobo@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

go vent to some hooker or prostitute, it is cheaper.

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

No it's not... Again rates in my town.

[-] johnlobo@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

your town therapist is cheaper? lmao

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

They're colluding to inflate the price.

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah it's Canada, therapy is 100$/h and prostitutes are $200/h. Do you live in some hellhole where therapy is $400 and prostitutes are $10?

[-] johnlobo@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

so you're saying prostitute have better life then therapist there? smh. the therapist need therapy

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I don't think work volume and conditions are comparable.

I know I want therapy to be affordable and prostitutes that are not living on the cusp of death

Get a cat.

Vent to the cat.

Therapists are professionally supposed to keep themselves distanced from the emotional state of the subject, but that comes naturally for cats because they couldn't care less about your feelings.

On the other hand, if you want some empathysing with what you're feeling, get a dog (ideally mid-sized or larger) instead.

PS: I'm only semi-kidding.

[-] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Legit worth it though

One of those "if you're on time you're late" situations. The best time to go is before you need it
