Question by Blue Hawaii: How to find a “community” rape therapist?
Like I’ve said before in one of my questions, I was molested but I haven’t gotten help. I don’t know how the whole therapist thing works out but I can’t pay for anything like that. My questions are: Where can I find a rape crisis center/therapist/counselor/group therapy thing where I hopefully won’t have to pay a million dollars? I’m a teen and I can’t count on my family to pay any of it. How can I go about getting help without thinking that the therapist will “take over” my life? How does therapy/counseling/group therapy work? What are some other less common forms of help? Thanks!
For medical depression, what doctor will I have to go to? What happens if I can’t pay for it and my parents can’t, either?

Question by expatriate59: Why is it that more times than not, people’s answer to life’s issues is to “seek therapy” or “get counseling”?
Don’t you guys realize that good quality therapy or counseling isn’t financially available to everyone, and the majority of insurance companies will not cover mental health therapy (which is what this is)?

While there may be agencies that provide counseling for a nominal fee or for free, those tend to not have the quality that is needed in many cases.

Also, how do you know that the person asking the questions hasn’t tried therapy or counseling already?

Unless you have REAL advice to give, this is one of those situations where it is best not to answer, than to say “get therapy”.
Link955 says, “”Get counseling” isn’t the empty phrase you seem to think it is. I don’t give that kind of advice lightly, and to tell the truth, I am a little insulted that you would think so. ”

Question by : Which Master’s degree do I need?
I am researching MS programs in the state of Alabama (to avoid paying out of state tuition). My ultimate goal is to become a therapist. I do not want to work only with children, only with marriage/families, and not at all with severe cases (ex. schizophrenia). What do I need to seek a degree in? I have found few programs labeled simply “Counseling Psychology.” I have, however, found a program in “Clinical Mental Health Counseling” and another in “Community Counseling” at colleges that interest me. Do I really need to enter a “Counseling Psychology” program specifically? Or will one the other two be sufficient? What is the difference between “Clinical Mental Health Counseling” and “Community Counseling” programs? All programs I have looked at are CACREP accredited, also.

Biophysics

Stressful events like death of a loved one, separation, employment layoff and workplace changes can cause our stress levels to rocket. And when these stressful situations compound, stress management and stress counseling is often advised to help us cope with an impending disaster.

Stress is categorized into three kinds: Positive stress, which is defined as acute tension and pressure that can motivate a person perform at his best; Acute Distress, which is defined as unplanned and unprecedented stressful but short term reaction caused by specific situations; and chronic stress, which is described as being the constant kind, where in stressors occupy a rooted space in a person’s life.

Stress, if scrutinized further, can indeed be positive or negative depending on one’s approach to the situation. Stressors are factors that cause us awful distress and push us to the brink of panic and anxiety.
