Dear SereneWolf,

And yes, people around me does makes me feel like psychotherapy isn’t normal so I’m hesitant for that. I apologize if it showed up in different mannered way

I think I understand why you decided to start a new thread, under a new name – maybe in part because you wanted other opinions about how to help yourself without therapy? The truth is that you can do a lot for yourself without therapy, including work on diminishing your inner critical voice too. But having a supportive, positive voice (or voices) in your surroundings is also very important, because you can’t do it on your own entirely – you can’t pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

I’m again going to suggest a video by Dr. Henry Clod (he has a video on almost any topic! 🙂 ). It’s titled “This is how you replace the critical voices in your head“. He talks about self-help but also other people’s help – be it in form of therapy or coaching or a support group, or even just friends who will support you and encourage you rather than judge you and criticize you.

For example, you say that you are surrounded by people who judge those who go to psychotherapy:

I’m surrounded with people who thinks only crazy and mentally unstable people needs psychotherapy.

Are those judgmental people only your parents, or also your girlfriend, friends and colleagues? Is there anybody in your life who would actually be supportive of you working on yourself, so you can be happier and more satisfied than you are now? If not, I suggest you surround yourself with positive people, who have your true best interest in mind, not by those who think they know what’s best for you.
