I suffer from anxiety, but haven’t found a decent coping method to stop an anxiety attack when I feel one coming on. I’ve tried deep breathing, focusing my attention elsewhere and exercising, but none of those seem to work.




I am seeing a therapist tomorrow but not a gender therapist. Do I just tell her I badly want to become female and basically tell her the truth and she’ll refer me to a gender therapist or do I need to do something else? Also I am feeling nervous about this, how should I say it :/

If a patient tells their therapist that another licensed therapist sexually abused them, is the therapist required to report it to the licensing board and/or police?

What is psychological abnormality? Psychological abnormality may include deviance, distress, dysfunction, and danger. Am I right? If so, can you please give me an

I had a miscarriage 4 months ago and am now 6 weeks pregnant. I have a son and that pregnancy went perfectly so I know reasonably that I can and probably will have a healthy pregnancy. However, I can’t stop the anxious feeling that I will lose this baby too. I have been having really traumatic dreams that I am having a miscarriage. I feel like if I can’t get this anxiety out of my head that I may actually cause myself to have a miscarriage. Any help would be appreciated.




I understand that a Massage and Physical therapist are two different occupations, but what degrees do you go through that are different for each? I’ve looked it up, and it says for a Massage Therapist, all you need is a certificate/degree in Massage work. I find that hard to believe, and was wondering if there was something that the internet lacked to tell me?




Any luck with depression/anxiety and therapy?

I went to see a psych today and they suggested meds+therapy to treat the cyclical anxiety/depression that I’ve been having for a long time.

I wanted to test out a mostly therapy-based approach first has anyone had any luck with it decreasing symptoms’ intensity/onset and such?
