I had a PET scan, and it was cleared. Not one cell of cancer after three rounds of chemo. But I still had seven more just for safety, which was stupid. I should have just worked on therapy.
Words of comfort, skillfully administered, are the oldest therapy known to man.
My music is really my therapy. I really lay all my feelings into the songs, and really just leave ’em there. I don’t carry that weight when I’m going throughout life. I’m not sad all the time.
You know I never used to be a bad flyer, but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven’s ‘Red Eye’. I don’t think they’re linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are, so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.
I’ve had tweets questioning whether I really did go to university because surely I would have lost my accent if I did; a letter suggesting, very politely, that I get correction therapy; and an email saying I should get back to my council estate and leave the serious work to the clever folk.
Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.
I don’t think there’s anything better than talk therapy.

Smile, it’s free therapy.

The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
Kittens are the best therapy.
I had some real health complications with my HRT – hormone replacement therapy.
I’ve always felt like writing and creating music is similar to therapy, because you’re spending days, weeks, months reflecting on yourself and your life and trying to process everything and express those feelings out loud. It can be incredibly cathartic and healing.

I spend a good deal of time doing, for anxiety what’s known as exposure therapy where basically you’re supposed to confront things that cause you anxiety and learn to tolerate. It’s all about learning to tolerate discomfort rather that avoiding anything that might make you feel uncomfortable.

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

I’m on a constant path of self-discovery and change. I’m trying to become a better person, a nicer person. I love therapy – it’s brilliant.
It’s weird because standup can be like therapy. Comedians can’t be satisfied with just having fun with our friends. We’ve got to figure out a way to do it on stage.
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.
I don’t even consider it therapy anymore. I consider it availing myself of a guide.
Whenever I deal with heartbreak, my therapy is to listen to all the love songs I can to purge my system – and I change my phone number so I won’t be tempted to call or keep expecting him to call back.

I’d heard about rehab, where you send people with drug problems, but I soon learned that there’s no standard definition of it; instead it’s a generic word for a wide variety of treatments, including some that are outrageous. Past-life therapy? Exorcism?
In India, therapy is not part of the culture; it has not become such a big need.
I’m in therapy, and I think everyone should be.
Artists need some kind of stimulating experience a lot of times, which crystallizes when you sing about it or paint it or sculpt it. You literally mold the experience the way you want. It’s therapy.
It’s incredible, but I will sing the praises of therapy. I think everybody should be in therapy. It helps so much to have somebody educated you can talk to.
Music is my therapy and my straitjacket. Music keeps me sane and keeps my mind on something. It’s fragile up there.

To me, wrestling is therapy. No matter how bad my personal situation is, when I step into the ring, all my troubles disappear. My baggage stays in the back where it belongs.
The best thing about it is getting it all out there. Whatever you have on your chest, it just feels really good to talk to somebody who you have no ties to… so I think therapy is great. I think everyone should try it out.
No wonder they call shopping ‘retail therapy,’ as any girl will tell you how it just takes away all the stress.
When gene therapy was believed to harbor latent risks, research was largely put on hold until the risks were better understood. Sometimes, the theoretical risks have led to a principle of absolutist precaution that impedes progress.
If anyone would have been paying serious attention to my puppet shows, I would have been sent to therapy very young.
2014 was a terrible year for me. I got a lot of help from psychiatrists, doctors, and my family, but also from group therapy. I met people from so many different backgrounds, and we were all able to relate to each other. It felt like a real community, and I stole that concept for Gurls Talk.
I was diagnosed with OCD and depression, and that was a huge relief, because now my struggles had a name and could be reckoned with. With a combination of therapy and medication, I got better. I learned to love life again. My problems didn’t go away, but they became much easier to face.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll probably be in therapy all of my life.
I like to paint and spend a lot of time doing art. For me, it’s about hearing yourself and putting it out there as art. It’s like a therapy thing.
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.
We need to provide people access to treatment options that work for them, which should include long-term access to medication, behavioral therapy and family support services.
I think my sound is very loud. I want other people to describe it as a form of therapy – therapeutic music, a form of release to them.
You know, I don’t think, you know, therapy never ends, really.
I didn’t know anything was wrong with me when I was growing up. I thought everyone went to occupational and speech therapy, I thought these were common things. I thought I was quite normal until I went to school and someone told me it wasn’t normal to have a disability.
