What is Therapy Not For Me?
Therapy Not For Me is the world’s number 1 source of information, tools and therapy alternatives for people who aren’t (yet) comfortable with traditional therapy. We’re a space to unload, an alternative approach to achieving healing, growth, self-care, or any of the other benefits therapists can offer. We offer ideas, insights, and tools that have therapeutic benefits, but sit outside of the conventional therapy model of telling ‘someone’ your most private thoughts and concerns.
Are you anti-therapy?
Not at all. Therapy changes millions of peoples’ lives for the better every day. However, we also recognise that ‘going to therapy’ isn’t the only way to achieve the benefits it provides, and it’s okay to seek alternatives more aligned with who you are and what you’re comfortable with.
Who is Therapy Not For Me for?
Its for anyone who:
Has tried therapy and didn’t feel it helped
Prefers more independent, self-guided healing methods
Faces barriers to accessing therapy (like cost, availability, or comfort level)
Is simply curious about other options
Can you suggest any other recommended alternatives to therapy?
There are so many effective methods out there, including:
Mindfulness and meditation practices
Journaling and self-reflection exercises
Peer support communities
Coaching and mentorship
Creative arts for healing
Movement and bodywork
Nature-based healing approaches … and much more.
