Finding a good therapist?

I personally have never been to one and don't really think they are useful from what I've heard. I would read that book called "The Four Agreements". I've read a good amount of books but one that helped me overall was that one, I'm sure it can't hurt.

I found one through a recommendation. He works with the local police department and other public safety offices, but he also has his own private practice one day a week for anyone to meet with him. I like him because he doesn't sugar coat stuff, tells me stuff straight and when I fucked up. The guys comes off as alpha, but obviously has education and a background to back it up.

I would recommend looking through that avenue in your city. You don't necessarily have to be a cop or in public safety to see him.

Also, don't listen to that other guy. A solid psychologist can do amazing things to help you figure your own shit out, don't think they're all beta marriage counselors. He doesn't "solve" my problems but having an objective third party is an incredible help for a man. It helped me a ton to figure out my own issues. Couple that with the reading her and other books you come across, it can be an incredible help.

You have to understand that Therapists are the epic centre of blue pill thinking. I've seen 5 therapists over the years (pre RP) and yea, definitely go for a guy.

It can be good to talk about your issues just so it stops being an unmentionable demon in the back of your head, like you know it better so you can tackle it better. Also if you are socially isolated and have no one to talk to, a therapist makes for a good emotional prostitute. Other then that a therapist wont help you with anything.

If you familiarize yourself more or less with the basics of different therapeutic approaches that is a good start. A classic psychoanalytic therapist may not even be face to face with you, have you lay on a couch, won't give a lot of feedback. A Rogerian will emphasize the relationship and the process in therapy. A CBT therapist will help you identity maladaptive thoughts and behaviors keeping you in a rut. I would strongly recommend the last type for RP guys. Then narrow it down by sliding scale, availability, and at some point just try one and see if you connect.
