Unless there is some extreme context here, I would immediately dump any therapist that said that. If I want to hear that trash I can talk to my relatives for free.
That head thing is kinda their job after all
hate that, because EVERYTHING is in my head.
my head is the focal point between the abstract entity considered “me” and the entire universe intersect.
it’s a bullshit thought terminating cliché
tbf a good amount of smaller general issues can be in your digestive system, though then again that’s basically just an extension of your head what with the amount of nerves down there…
My problems are 99% mental and the rest are all in my head.

Starlord: “Because I’m one of the idiots who lives there!”
A therapist wouldn’t dismiss what you’re going through like this.
Depending on the goal both of you established for this problem, you could either use some kind of grounding techniques to bring you out of your head, use talk therapy to figure out why you are in your head (possibly trauma), or figure out if things like sleeping, exercising, or eating better would help you.
use some kind of grounding techniques to bring you out of your head
You mean like astral projection?
No, the opposite. When someone says “you are in your head” it means you aren’t present or you are away from reality. Grounding just means it allows you to focus.
Grounding is going to depend on the person. Some people workout, some people use all their senses in their environment.
Therapy can be too expensive for some people so they harm themselves. This is also a grounding technique and isn’t healthy.
When I started getting neuropathy this doctor said it’s all in your head. I got up and left.
Never even gave him the chance to say it was a joke.
