I was wondering if you guys go to a therapist (most of you should btw) and if so, do you talk to them about your obsessions with pop girls?

I used to go to a therapist. But it was kind of a waste of time for me (not saying it's a waste of time in general, some ppl really benefit from it.)

No, I didn't really mention any pop girls. Lol.

Is having a therapist normal?

The couple times I went, I did not mention them

considering the unhealthy obsession a certain base has with Katy, i'd definitely recommend a therapist

why would anyone talk about that? If you're seeing a therapist it means you have far more serious issues than stanning.

@ people saying going to a therapist means you have serious problems

It's perfectly normal and everyone should see one.

I said to her that I stan Madonna.
She answered me it was normal for me 'cause Madonna is both very masculine and very feminine.

the irony Like....

I don't, but if I had money I would probably go to one, cuz my brain is a damn mess. I am so bipolar, like one second I'm happy and the other I want to cry or I'm super irritated... it's getting so ****ing annoying

i don't wanna go to a therapist cause in reality they don't give a **** about you and just want your money

Why do I keep reading the title as "The Rapist" ?

Is it.. normally it means that you cannot control your own emotions and require assistance. I wouldn't say that's normal.

Unless it was for a particular purpose, like bereavement. It's one stage away from a mental hospital or A&E. I'm serious.

No. I just talk about life.

versatile Queen of Pop indeed.

Isn't that one-to-one counselling? I'm not one to judge how people spend their money but talking to people is free. Unless you're receiving techniques from a therapist of how to manage your emotions, you're being conned. Ask for your money back.

I'd happily talk to people for free, I didn't know so many atrlers were charging for this ****. Extortion!

It's perfectly reasonable to go to a therapist if you're suffering from mild depression or just don't have anyone else to talk to about your problems.

If I had one, I most likely wouldn't, no. I'd maybe talk about my aspirations of being a songwriter and how I was inspired to take that path, and a pop girl MIGHT be mentioned in that conversation, but as a side note and not the topic of discussion.

I really don't want to explain to random people about what's going on. I just moved from a ****** school and I literally have no friends recently. So no, talking in my situation is not free and I go to an alternative education now because I'm going to graduate early.

You're supposed to talk your feelings out and that person is supposed to listen. Literally the kids/people down in Fort Worth are ignorant and dumb as ****, so of course I don't want to talk to them.

This is what atrl is for. Well should be and hopefully will be. There's 6000~ members here!

Everyone already has a good starting point as we love music.. make friends. Would he nicer to chat to us than a random lady getting paid 100 an hour.

Oh I understand. Well I guess if it helps, then that's good!

My perception of these sessions is that it's very one-sided, you'll be talking and relieving yourself of your mindset yet not actually resolving those issues so that you don't or even feel less like that again

Edit: You'll go home, feel depressed again, talk to said therapist, back home.. feel ok and the problems haven't been resolved. You're still going to feel low moods. If the person isn't helping you manage it (I think it's called CBT which is free in the UK) then the person is getting paid for nothing, just to see you again.
