How to find and feel more comfortable with a therapist?
Throwaway for very obvious reasons.
I need therapy. I know that. I've had several female friends/girlfriends say as much (it isn't sexual related things, just life things). No guy friend has said anything, even though I am better friends with guys, but I think that's how men interact.
I know I have problems that I need to talk to someone about. My issue is...it just feel really damn awkward. I have a ton of trouble opening up to anyone, much less a stranger. I know that's kind of normal, but how do I work through that and find someone I can talk to about these things?
I have great insurance, it would be like $10/session so I can't even make an excuse that it's too expensive. I guess I am asking this sub how to find someone I can be comfortable with admitting embarrassing things to and how do I get over the idea that they are judging the hell out of me?
