I want to see a therapist. How do I tell my parents?

First I would research the information you'll need a head of time, then I would prepare a speech to tell them so they understand what you're going through and why you need therapy this bad. Its not a phase its my life.

I think you should tell them how you genuinely feel.Believe me your parents would understand.Tell them that you need to seek some help.If you are not comfortable in telling verbally write it down and give the letter to them or text them.

It can be difficult to tell them especially if you don't talk about feelings often. But you can tell them you've been feeling down lately and you don't think you can deal with it alone anymore. Just the fact you want to see a therapist means you wanna make change. I'm sure your parents want the best for you and they will understand. Maybe you'll be surprised by how supporting they reacting will be :)

Tell them that thou haven't been feeling very good emotionally. Explain that a therapist a is doctor for your mind.

Mom, Dad, I have been struggling a little bit and I feel the best option is to see a therapist so I can get the best care.

I had a hard time finding the courage to tell my parents too, but the best thing to keep in mind is the fact they are your parents- they are the ones who gave you your life, and they do care about you.... If you feel as if you need to see a therapist than you just have to take them aside, maybe at night, once there are no distractions and just let them know there are things you need to talk about in a non-judgemental, confidential area :) best of luck

Getting your parents to agree to you seeing a therapist may seem tricky, but if you use your words and express you want professionals help they will listen.

Simply talk to them. Your parents care about you more than you know and they definitely want the best for you

It sounds like you might have some worry or fear (maybe anxiety) about how your parents will react to you seeing a therapist. It also kinda sounds like you are seeking their support in making this decision. I could be wrong and it really may just be a courtesy informing them. The cool part is, whatever you decide to do, you get to tell them only as much as you are comfortable with. What I mean is, when I was in a similar situation, I told my parents the nature of my troubles and what I was doing about it. I was very fortunate that they really were super supportive and understanding. I could have simply told them that I'm struggling and that I've decided to see a therapist to see if that will help. And then ask them if they'd like to know more after I try it out. There are a lot of options. Maybe you'd like to talk with one our listeners first, try out a few things to see how it sounds to you, and then take that back and start talking to your parents. We're here with you, hey!

You sit them down and say Ive been feeling (sad, depressed, anxious) and I think it would help me if I got some professional help.
