I do think that you can dress yourself out of a problem. The way that a haircut and a new pair of pants can make you feel is better than any therapist, because when you look in the mirror, you see a different person - you are a different person. It's superficial change that can lead to real change. Greg Behrendt

Change, Mirror, Dress, Yourself, Think

Two things I do for maintenance: I get a manicure once a month, and I see my therapist about every six weeks. I am happy to report that, at this point, my nails crack more often than I do. Gina Barreca

Happy, I Am, I Am Happy, Two, See, Month

My therapist was like, 'What brings joy to your heart?' And I was like, 'I like to see teeth. I guess maybe I should have been a dentist.' Tiffany Haddish

Heart, Joy, Teeth, Dentist, See, Like

Individual psychotherapy - that is, engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient, modest, and a perceptive listener, rather than a talker and advice-giver. Thomas Szasz

The smartest thing I ever did as a writer was hire a retired conservation agent to blaze a hiking trail for me. It's nothing fancy - just a narrow path that meanders for a little over a mile through the woods near my home. But that trail through the trees has become my therapist, my personal trainer, and my best editor. Kate Klise

When I was in high school in Los Angeles, my mother, who was a speech therapist, agreed to stay over the weekend with one of her clients and his little sister while the parents went away on vacation. She brought me along. Mona Simpson

Sometimes, just the act of venting is helpful. Counseling provides a safe haven for precisely that kind of free-ranging release: You can say things in the therapist's office, with the therapist present, that would be incendiary or hurtful in your living room. Laura Wasser

You, Living, Present, Sometimes, Say

I like to have a massage therapist come to my house, get a massage, take a bath, go to bed. That's a perfect night alone for me. Stacy Keibler

I do mourn my characters. I wrote an essay once where I was sure that far back in a marsh there was a hummock - a little hill of hardwoods - and an old farm house, where all the heroines in my novels lived together with all my beloved dead dogs. I've discussed this with my therapist, naturally. He says it's okay in fair amounts. Jim Harrison

Together, Back, Hill, Farm, House, Dead

I do not like to work with patients who are in love. Perhaps it is because of envy - I, too, crave enchantment. Perhaps it is because love and psychotherapy are fundamentally incompatible. The good therapist fights darkness and seeks illumination, while romantic love is sustained by mystery and crumbles upon inspection. Irvin D. Yalom

Work, Love, Romantic, Good, Love Is

Life itself still remains a very effective therapist. Karen Horney

Life, Effective, Still, Itself, Very

I believe that the therapist's function should be to help people become free to be aware of and to experience their possibilities. Rollo May

Experience, People, Help, Believe, Free

I think everybody I've seen has come from some other therapy, and almost invariably, it's very much the same thing: the therapist is too disinterested, a little too aloof, a little too inactive. They're not really interested in the person; he doesn't relate to the person. Irvin D. Yalom

Think, Person, Therapy, Same, Little

Parents still have a big influence on their kids - just ask any therapist. No, really, I think the parent is the most important influence on children: It's how they learn to love and treat other people. Judy Blume

Love, Children, Parents, People, Think

Sure, I've had some bad times, but everybody does. But people don't get to talk about them like I do, unless they do to a therapist. People don't get to put them in the paper like I do. Lynn Johnston

People, Bad, Bad Times, Talk, Paper

I realized that every sermon I preached should be designed not to 'teach' or 'convert' people, but rather to encourage them, to give them a lift. I decided to adopt the spirit, style, strategy and substance of a 'therapist' in the pulpit. Robert H. Schuller

Style, People, Strategy, Lift, Spirit

There are people from lots of different fields in my department. In my lab, they come from computer science, education, psychophysics, psychology, music - and we all work together, and it feels very comfortable. All the careers I've had have been interdisciplinary; working in a studio is like being an engineer and a musician and a therapist. Daniel Levitin

Work, Education, Music, Science, People

I get people to truly accept themselves unconditionally, whether or not their therapist or anyone loves them. Albert Ellis

People, Accept, Get, Themselves, Loves

I have spent a lot of time studying the issue of relationships, how I grew up, my parents' influence on me. I've talked to a therapist,; I've looked inward spiritually at myself, and what it seems to come down to is that I'm a Sagittarius. Please don't make me reveal more than that. It's tough enough as it is. Garry Shandling

Time, Myself, Parents, Influence, Tough

Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world. William Glasser

Relationship, Humor, Acceptance, Quality

Positive, Work, Teacher, Spiritual, Feel

Life, Way, Resolve, Analysis, Only, Very

If I weren't performing, I'd be a beauty editor or a therapist. I love creativity, but I also love to help others. My mother was a hairstylist, and they listen to everyone's problems - like a beauty therapist! Beyonce Knowles

Love, Beauty, Mother, Creativity, Help

There's a woman I see who's not my therapist, but she's like an old friend who's a therapist in profession. She lets me talk to her like a therapist once in a while, and she does a great thing. Whenever I have a big dilemma, like this is a big problem in my life, she always says, 'Wow, you're going to have to figure that out.' Louis C. K.

Life, Great, Woman, Friend, Me, My Life
