- Advice/Tips
- Taking the time out of my day to go see a therapist, and then paying the co-pay seems to be more trouble than it's worth. I feel like it's a waste of time. My therapist sits there and waits for me to lead, and I just want the hour to be over. Been in therapy at various times for over 10 years now, it has been helpful sometimes, but it is not helpful for me now.
