That must b a sign from your dad that yur driving him crazy
That boy needs therapy!
Psycho-sematic, that boy needs therapy.
This will only work if your therapist is stupid and your parents are together, but here is a trick out of rubber duckies' bag for you. Go a couple times establish some kind of relationship. Then tell therapist how your problems stem from your parents fighting all the time and they just make you do nervous you can't stand it. My experience with this put my parents in marriage counseling and me in a room by myself with a relaxation tape. Oh the sweet manipulative days of my anorexia. Note: If you are having an eating disorder do not use. I almost died several times.
You probably do need therapy OP and just don't realize it. It seems that's usually the case for people. If you're lashing out at people or separating yourself from people it could mean you have depression and your dad is just trying to get you help. If you don't like this therapist though, go to another until you find one you do like. If your dad is paying for it, take advantage of it! It's not cheap and it's soooo beneficial.
Or it could mean that the father thinks he's a psychoanalytical genius and is reading too deeply into things that aren't actually there.
I think taking action to directly face your fears/challenges and going to the gym is more beneficial than going to a therapist. Unless, you have deep rooted issues and you need to learn how to cope/forgive. Gratitude for the life you have is a good way to put things in perspective. At least you don't live in a hut with no running water in a third world country with no food. Be thankful your dad cares enough to send you to therapy and spend all that money! Stop being so ungrateful! Some people don't even know who their dads are.
Wow. Did you really just pull out the "some people don't know who their fathers are" card? Way to undermine your entire argument with strawman and guilt tripping.
She needs to be thankful for what she's got. Just saying.
He cares for you. Obviously you're resistant to the idea which means you probably need it on some level. Be open to it. It may help you out!
If you felt confident that you didn't need the therapy I imagine you could have just left. If you stayed I hope it was helpful for you.
Therapy can only work if you want the help. My parents pulled a similar stunt with me and I ended up being so angry at them for not just talking to me like a person that I just refused to talk to anyone and they gave up. Years later as an adult I willingly went and it was much more effective.
