Honest Q:

What kind of therapy do you look for for things like this? As someone deeply inverted, prone to "creatively interpreting" things in a negative light, who dwells on imagined sleights, etc. I've thought maybe I need some professional help. But I'm kind of afraid of talking to people about my issues in general so I don't know what kind of therapist would work for me.

CBT is common and often covered by health insurance. I've been doing talk therapy for 3 years and I've found helpful for all kinds of things.

The most important (and hardest) part is finding a therapist you trust.
