In reply to does age matter in therapy?, posted by CareBear04 on March 9, 2004, at 19:52:53
I rather wish I had had therapy when I was younger. Well, I did, as a pre-teen, but I didn't cooperate, was furious at being there, and it wasn't a useful experience.
But what better time to straighten out your thinking, and learn to cope with emotions than when you're young?
Perhaps the problem isn't your age, but rather your therapist's lack of experience with people your age. There are tons of therapists who love to practice with young people. Perhaps you could ask for a referral to someone experienced with the issues you are facing at this time in your life?
