When you say therapy related groups do you mean people interested in receiving or practicing psychotherapy?
How do I find an actually good therapist?

the personal qualities of the therapist are much more important than the therapists shcool of thought. that's what makes a good therapist vs a bad one.

It's both actually. There are facebook groups that have people seeking/doing therapy with therapists in the group as well.
You got any specific questions? Maybe I can point you to the best material and reduce the amount of research time you spend.

sounds like standard psychotherapy, changing old inappropriate/dysfunctional beliefs with new ones.

Yeah thats called non specific common factors theory and that is promoted by Bruce Wampold. There is no evidence this is true. I can give you citations if you want.

>changing old inappropriate/dysfunctional beliefs with new ones.
On the surface this appears to be the case, but this is incorrect.
When you look at the neuroscience evidence produce by laboratory tests it is different to the standard talk therapy.
This has all the citations

The non technical terms are that normal talk therapy causes new pathways in the brain. The memory reconsolidation updates old pathways. The really powerful emotional pathways that have existed for around 520 million years.

Not OP, but maybe you can help me.
How do I get motivated? My father never supports the things I do (currently studying Computer Science) or he pisses me off when I try to work out. Or I am a loser because I don't have a gf yet. And so on and so forth. This has led to me giving up on things and ending in self pitty. Last semester I fucked up most of my exams, because I didn't study for it, because that is what my dad thinks it is. Then my "friends" in university stopped caring about me and I became depressed and now I'm behind.
Tl;dr: How do I Stop thinking that I deserve to be a loser and focus on my things and succeed?
Would be great if you have some Input here, fren.

I've experience very similar negative outcomes previously and now no longer have these.
The main thing I've found evidence for is that all your symptoms are nervous system responses. It's not you, as in the conscious part of your mind.
I'll give you detailed advice in the next post
