Have you ever seen a therapist for common thoughts?
I mean I don’t have serious emotional problems…but when they’re in my head for too long, it ends up being bigger than it needs to be….And I don’t get that comfort from friends, family, or guys like others do….so alot of times I feel alone. Has anyone ever felt like this? And if so, did a therapist help to talk through your common thoughts/fears/worries/anxieties?
I was originally in therapy because I discovered that my daughter had be molested which brought back things for me that I considered over and done with – namely that I too was molested and thought there was no need to deal with it but boy was I wrong. To answer your question, after I did deal with it all, my therapist believed it was time to end the sessions and we did. But I really missed her and felt exactly as you state-she was someone I could talk to that was not judgmental, that wasn’t family, and didn’t tell me how to do things. She just listened. I later found another therapist for that very thing. I talked with him about that very thing, just coming to see him occasionally about normal everyday things that I wanted someone to listen to. He agreed and I went to him for several years. The system worked for me because I don’t need him anymore. I can deal with my own problems but I don’t think I could have done it without either therapist.

The social anxiety turmoil can be nothing but the dread an individual faces in many societal circumstances. This is otherwise termed as social phobia, where the fear arises when we perform something for others to view, judge or condemn us. Those people who undergo this disorder are generally scared about, what the public will comment if they do something erroneous and also fear that they might get embarrassed in front of the society. As this is the case, the person will altogether try to stay away from the social get together or meetings or if they are present there, they will undergo an extreme distress. There are people who fear the situations even before the event takes place. This is termed as ‘ anticipator anxiety’ and though the person realizes it is an unwanted fear they will not be able control themselves.
People who suffer from this disorder are petrified of giving a speech in the public or putting up any show for the public to view. Some others even fear of drinking or eating, or even working and they are scared of being the centre of attraction. They fear to ask questions and also fear of giving their suggestions. A person suffering from this may have all the symptoms or only a few of them. If the person does not take any measures to overcome this then his routine life will also get affected though it is school , work place or in any situation
This is a common disorder and more than 19 million Americans are being affected by this. The ratio between the males and females who suffer from this disorder is around seven. This may affect a person in his childhood, or in his teens, or sometimes even in his adulthood. A kid, who begins to suffer from this, is generally reserved and refuses speak to people other than his family. There is no high rate of analysis for this disorder as doctors themselves find it a difficult task to deal with it as sometimes the general shyness and social disorder are alike.
There are treatment and therapy available to cure this disorder. Many individuals do not go for these as they are scared of the symptoms causing the disorder such as embarrassment or dread of moving with others. The physical symptoms that arise are the sweating, anxiety, nausea and confusions.
The disorder may also be inherited form the genes. Generally if parents suffer from this their children may also be influenced. Another possible cause for this might be if something embarrassing has happened once in our life.
