My wife sees a therapist regularly and it's done wonders. Her therapist is good and helps her see things from a different perspectives. I especially like her saying a healthy sexual frequency is 3x weekly.

It does depend on how good the therapist is though. The first one was terrible.

My brother just broke up with a bitch psychology major who believed in weekly therapy. When I talked to him I felt like I didn't even know him, his words were drawn out and sentences were slow like I was the therapist he was talking to. The therapist prescribed pills, and he just got out of rehab for pill/alcohol addiction. That girl and therapist messed him up. Keep in mind he has a degree finance, investment banker, football, tailgating type.
I do believe therapy is good for those in traumatic situations but question prescription meds.

Why in the shite would someone go to a therapist if they didn't feel like they had some kind of an issue?
I wouldn't have a problem with them unless they were drug addicted or batshit crazy.

Maybe she started seeing the therapist for an issue and once it was resolved...she decided to continue seeing the therapist. If you find a great therapist they can offer non judgmental advice for many problems you may be facing. Sometimes it's just nice to be able to unload your thoughts/feelings onto someone else and not be judged for it. If your SO was having issues in your relationship and wanted to talk to someone about it, who would you rather....a therapist that will actually give good advice....or a bunch of her gfs over happy hour(that you know are just gonna tell her she should leave you and that she deserves better)?
Many times insurance covers therapy so she may not be paying much out of pocket for it either. Also some employers have employee assistance programs that will pay for so many free therapy sessions a year.

An LPC does talk therapy only. They don't prescribe. My brother also had his wife tell him he needed AA. Total bs and she looked down on him as she believed she "self actualized." It can be an ego thing for some. Mine does it because as she would say "her family did a mind frick on her." It done wonders for my marriage because she sets boundaries with the assholes now.

If you have to ask.....then yeah, it's a red flag.
The only chicks I've ever dated that saw therapists were bipolar

Part of me thinks almost every woman and a lot of guys could use one. My sister is batshite, but basically has a psychiatrist, therapist, and AA keeping her together.
I would feel weird that all of my relationship shite is being discussed with the therapist. But, as nurse points out, it's better than having her girlfriends convince your SO that you're a bad guy.

Depends how hot she is

It could be a red flag or it could be a green light.
Someone unraveling their past for self-knowledge isn't necessarily scary.
Someone with BPD who has to unravel things every week on the other hand

I saw one for a few years. I originally started seeing her to deal with some issues from my childhood. Once that was resolved, I just kept going to her. Especially since the EAP my employer had was gonna pay for 12 free sessions a year, so why not use it? I only saw her like once every 4-6 weeks. It was nice to have someone to just unload to about anything I wanted....and know it was completely confidential. And when I talked about relationship problems....she was really good at having you look at it in a way to where you see all sides of the issue. There were times I realized how much I was at fault for relationship problems out of sessions with her.
I don't think you need to see one all of your life though, there should reach a point where you part ways. For me, when she retired was right around where I was at where I didn't really need to go anymore. I really learned a lot from those sessions and would reconsider seeking another therapist later on if I felt I needed it.

There's big differences between an LPC, psychologists and psychiatrists. Your average LPC isn't treating bipolar or borderline personality. Those types typically don't volunteer for regular talk therapy.

It means you always go to her place, and make sure she doesn't know where yours is.

Yeah I was seeing an LPC that was also Christian
Her main specialty was eating disorders but because I was specifically looking for a Christian therapist she took me on as a client.
