is it weak for a black men to seek therapy?

[↓R↑LYB]

I started going to a therapist earlier this year, but I really aint get much out of it. I can see the value in it, but you just gotta find the right person.

Eventually I'll start back going again but I fixed the issue I was dealing with on my own.

This is another problem people thinking taking medicine for your mental issues is bad

Medication is a trap

Right now I'm on that "I have weed I don't need therapy"

But I can predict that in the future I'll try it

It's not weak for anyone to go to therapy......There is a real harmful outlook towards talk therapy in general, regardless of color or community, but esp. in the lower income communities...some is financially based, but a lot is just regressive, ignorant thinking.....I know half dozen people in my circle that should go see a therapist, but they refuse....The women who do it based on 'being a strong person', or their belief in religion are the most frustrating and near hopeless causes....ignorance and being stubborn aren't strength, and internalizing pain, dysfunction etc (as opposed to treating it) will fukk you up for the rest of your life.

Weak?

Frankly it doesn't matter whether anyone considers it weak anyway. Ain't nobody gonna know you going except for you.

No nikka. Never that. If you feel you need help go get it. A man assess a problem and figures out a solution.

She actually thought i showed strength that i sought help for sex addiction and anger issues

Did it help?

 

[richaveli83]

It's not weak. Looking at the condition of black people in this country, black men in particular, brothers definitely need therapy. It's stressful being a black man living in a racist society.

Did it help?

The anger part yeah... But that sex part
