Does it mean you’re crazy??? That’s what everybody wonders….they’re afraid they’ll be seen as crazy. This is extremely rare to happen for those who are in treatment. And frankly, if you’re worried about it, you’re probably not ‘crazy.’ People who are seen by others as ‘crazy’ rarely seek treatment from a psychotherapist. They are usually forced into treatment by their families with a psychiatrist to get medication.
So, what kind of person seeks treatment?? A person who is having difficulty coping with their life situation, a person with anxiety, a person who is disatisfied or depressed, a person with anger problems, a person having relationship problems, a person who has suffered a traumatic event in the past or in the present, a person who wants to improve their life in other ways, a person who has self-destructive patterns, and many other reasons. If you feel like you could benefit from treatment, you should try it. Don’t let your fears that you will be seen as ‘crazy’ get in the way. Chances are, this will never happen to you.
