Pastoral Resources

I recommend the same therapies for all humans with HIV. There is no reason to believe that physiologic responses to therapy will vary across lines of class, culture, race or nationality.

If you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me.

I've had a lot of cognitive behavioural therapy, and am having a family now.

I had years of therapy to recover from this. A lot of it had to with being a people pleaser, being the ultimate good girl. I wanted everyone to like me. I didn't really have a voice. I was afraid of growing up.

You can stay in therapy your whole life, but you've got to live life and not talk about life.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

I told my mother at about the seventh year of therapy that I had been abused sexually by my father, and she hung up the phone on me.

What I learned about stammering was that, when as a young child you lose the confidence of anyone who wants to listen to you, you lose confidence in your voice and the right to speech. And a lot of the therapy was saying, 'You have a right to be heard.'

Smile, it's free therapy.

The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.

I used the music kind of as therapy, and it's just amazing that I feel so free after doing that. I feel like I had it trapped inside of me and now I feel free. So it's been a very good therapy session for me as well.

Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.

Why pay $100 on a therapy session when you can spend $25 on a cigar? Whatever it is will come back; so what, smoke another one.

I was in group therapy for years but it wasn't the same thing. It was more about growing.

Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards itself as therapy.

People think my work is therapeutic. I don't see it that way. It's not like I'm saving money from a weekly therapy visit by writing down my life.

I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.

I love being in therapy. It's just constantly fulfilling for me.

I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy.
