QuietTruth:
If a psychologist is the same thang as a 'counselor', yeah, I used to go when I was a kid for a long ass time. I went to 4 different people in my lifetime.
I went to a lady when I was real young for a while when I was like about 4 or 5. She was for the young children.
I went to another lady when I was about 7 to like 11. I went with my family though.
I went to some wacko in 8th grade by force, for just like 2 visits.
Than after that I went to the same lady I went with my family with, for like 3 visits.
Here's my advice, if you gon' go ahead and trust me, if you're a serious non playin type of cat, it's gon' take alot of patience with these people. So shit will prolly be korny as fuck. They are real relaxed people though. If you get a good one, they will make you feel comfortable. I wish you luck on finding a somebody decent though.
But, see, I never went to a psychologist or counselor willingly, so shit may be a lil different in my eyes.
If you are going with a girlfriend or wife or kids, they'll try to make it an open environment. If you are going alone, than it's all on you. You have to make the decision to open up becuz you don't have somebody there with you to explain what's going on or what you're faults or problems are. You have to talk and speak up cuz that't the only way that can help you out. You kinda get what I'm sayin'? I mean, it's like a 'judge for ya self' thang. If you want the help, than it most likely will help. If you really don't want the help, it ain't gon' do nothing. Of course if my IQ was higher I could prolly do better but for now that's all I got. I wish ya luck homie!

Okay... check this out... just some brief history so you'll know what lead me to my visit with the psychologist.
Fall of 95 was the best Fall season of my life, Spring of 96 was the best spring of my life, and then Summer of 96 was the best time in my entire life and I wouldn't of traded my life with anyone in the world. I was 14 then, and about to enter highschool.
Well... As soon as I entered highschool, everything changed, it was around that same time that 2pac died, and it seemed like a lot of things were chaning in my world and in the larger world.
My grades in school had been bad for a while, so my mom started bringing me to this psychologist. I was experiencing depression for the first time in my life as well. I tried to share some of my feelings with the psychologist but she didn't say anything that made me feel any better, and one time she even asked if I had ever thought about killing myself, and I said "Yes". And then she asked "Did I think of killing myself because I thought that everyone would be better off if I did?" ... and I replied that it was actually the opposite, that I wanted to kill myself, but I wouldn't do it because I wouldn't want to make anybody else sad about what I had done. So she said, "Well, then your okay." LOL.. and that was pretty much the end of it. She wasn't that interested in continuing any sessions, and neither was I. She prescribed some medicine which my mom wanted me to take, and I refused to take it.
...so that's a description of my experience. I was not impressed with her at all. I think psychologists are bullshit and a waste of time and they only make matters worse.
If you want to feel better you should do some soul searching and read Harry Browne's, "How I Found Freedom In An Unfree World" (my new favorite book, lol). Most psychology is just about positive thinking, but Harry Browne's book is spittin straight reality, no bullshit. Peace.
