Treatments

Abuse Counseling Working / Worked

It can help so long as its focused on discerning abusive behaviors and learning how best to cope with them, both in the short and long run.

Divorce Working / Worked

It's a type of leaving (getting away).

Forgiveness Working / Worked

Forgiveness is for you, not for them

Group Therapy Working / Worked

This works best for people who have problems socializing and talking to others. If you are looking for brief problem focused treatment, do not use group therapy.

Leave Working / Worked

Usually the best way of dealing with a mentally ill person who doesn't want help.

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

Works, but there are all flavors of counseling and psychotherapy, and types of counselors.

Talking Somewhat Helpful

Talking can actually reinforce problems and annoy and bore your friends. Keep discussions of problems brief, polite and problem focused. Always remember those who are listening are doing you a favor, and remember to be grateful for the chance to talk about your problems.
