is it expensive?

 

[Dana]

No such thing?

 

[itsmeJonB]

theres gotta be, like a therapist who's like, a dog, or something

 

[Brujahpriest]

Without insurance it can be bloody expensive.

 

[JoeCool10]

A dog? :ninja


There are local clinics that are for low or no income families/people that offer services to anyone who needs it. The one close to my house has a dental/medical/gyno/mental/and WIC office all in the same building.

Even then, therapists and dogs are biased.

Do a search around your area, call some colleges maybe... students there generally need a 'project' so to speak for papers/finals

We have a rebate scheme over here that if you arent on a high wage you receive 5 free sessions of therapy with a councellor and then you have to pay they rest of them (if needed) rebated.

i dont know how it would work with you guys over there, I think the whole insurance thing has me confused more than anything as we dont need that here.

Next suggestion is you can wait a few years and come and visit me, im in training 3rd year now still a few to go BUT will gladly offer my services to you for free IF of course you can wait that long lol

You have to be careful with those clinics if they're government run. In my experience, most of the psychologists there are just pill pushers. But, definitely don't let that hinder you from looking for help.

Do you have a free hotline or something........around here we have a service like that and it's free, you just call and talk to whoever's available, sometimes they're only students or what have you but the talking alone could help...just a thought.

I'm sure there is but I'm in need of a private one on one session. I hate being on the phone as it is. Trying to explain something important over the phone will probably just frustrate me especially with how unreliable connections can be

If you need an ear, Dex -- let me know. I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but sometimes all someone needs is a person willing to lend their ear, close their mouth, and just listen for a little bit.

 

[pjbleek]

how about a priest? or someone of a religious order that has a neutral part ?
