crisis hot line


Question Posted Saturday March 3 2007, 2:45 pm

I called a hot line for crisis and abuse and I talked to the person there and I don't get why when I tell something they don't seem to help. They just ask questions like so what are you going to do about that? If I knew I wouldn't have called. Even one time this woman told me were a crisis line we talks about peoples problems. I came there to talk about problems and she acts like I am stupid or something. I can't stand my mom though.

that's just how therapy and hotlines work - the person isn't there to tell you what to do, but to help you work out your problems yourself. they pose questions, then rephrase what you've just said, hoping that maybe if you see it in a different perspective, it'll help you deal with it. that's why a lot of people don't like them. just don't call them expecting that they're going to say "well, here's what you should do about your mom: first..." just think of them more as an aide to your own thinking process.
