Question by Sonho de Valsa: What happens in psychology therapy, do they “really” work?
They talk to you & give you advices… and then you’re changed? Really?
In other words, are they really effective or some people don’t see any results?
I hear a lot “go see a therapist”, but I was wondering if it really works.
btw, the specific therapy I’m interested in is one for adults who were molested in their childhood.

Best answer:

Answer by chocolate1212
For some people it does, and for some it doesn’t. It feels nice to have someone to talk to, and know that they can’t tell anyone.
Some people don’t work that way. Sometimes they really don’t need to privately talk to someone, because they don’t have any secrets or things they already haven’t said.
