Question by frankie1996: does your therapist ask a lot of questions?
i’ve been seeing my therapist for 3-4 times now. He is my first and only therapist so I couldn’t compare, but i felt like he has been kind of unresponsive, he is extremely nice and compassionate, but he doesn’t seem to ask a lot of questions or gives me actual tips on how to overcome my poblems. For the sessions i’ve had, he just pretty much let me talk about my week, and when i ran out of things to say, the long silence came in… he occasionally ask me questions but most of the time i have to keep on talking, and he just sits there and nod.

im not sure if this is a particular method to let the patient open up and discuss freely, but i wish he could’ve offered more, maybe he’s just using a method i’m not used to.

You Are My God – Tony Melendez – Addictions – Faith and finding a place in the loving arms of God’s grace and living for him will help addicts in the recovery from their addictions. This video is a video of the hope, mercy, forgiveness, love, peace, joy and the deliverance that comes when we are in the Lord. Confess and praise Him as your God. The music You Are My God is by Tony Melendez, an armless Christian who uses his feet for hands and who professes God as his Rock in all things. Addiction reaches beyond alcohol and drugs. Many people suffer from all sorts of different addictions. Gambling, eating, shopping, sex, internet, work, video games, etc can all be just as addictive in many cases and just as destructive to a person. Those behaviors may affect the person differently, but they can be just as devastating as substance dependence. The 12 step program, which was originally devised for overcoming alcoholism, has now been transformed into well over 200 different addiction support groups. Always remember too much of a good thing can hurt you. (from Thagard)
