    Being honest is much more effective. Feels scary. Fear is never a good guide.

        Bullshiiiit. Went to therapy and bruteforced myself, basicallly traeting therapist as any other doc. Learned a lot about myself and opened many doors, some of which helped me drag myself out of miserable state even after my funds ran out.

        My sis did the same, and more because she also bruteforced fixing her friend circle during this dropping roughly 2/3 of people she knew out of her life just like that. Also in hella better place.

            We needed therapy and both went for the bruteforce tactic. I may had been a bit aggressive in my response though, sorry. But it was a bit too easy to interpret as “if you’re confident enough to be honest, you don’t need therapy”.

            I know now it is not what you meant, just how I’ve read it.

        Not necessarily. A good therapist can foster an environment where you can feel safe to be honest. Or, at least, safer than you feel with friends and family.
