I can't hook up with a therapistI also think sometimes a therapist or another type of professional is better to talk to about certain things than a friend... Depending on the subject. I know I'm a good listener and I'm ok with hearing certain things but not everyone is and it's a matter of respecting each other's boundaries and energy levels. Sometimes people don't have the capacity to discuss certain things.
Honestly that's also what I feel like it's partly what I'm here for as a SP. I enjoy being a confidante. (It's important to note that not all providers are comfortable with this and that doesn't mean their service is not as good)
Joke aside, I might not necessarily needs an analysis but more like knowing there is someone who will listen and most importantly understand you. This is already comforting.
