It depends on what your problem is. Being a nudist doesn't make you any different than anyone else. If you have problems of abuse, a loss, grief, etc., then just go to a good therapist with your problems.
Nudists are just a way of life and have been around for as long as I can remember. They usually have private clubs or they would be arrested for indecent exposure. There is nothing wrong with this way of life and often brings comfort to the individual (getting back to nature and peace.)

Is it possible to be partial nudist?
Yes. The term and idea of "partial nudism" may be cross referenced with "Home Nudist", "Part-time Nudist" or "Resort Nudist" and these refer to persons not openly practicing social nudism on a regular or frequent basis. Many individuals write blogs and web site articles explaining their comfort with being nude at home, either when they grew up or everyday as part of a routine such as swimming or sunbathing, but also write of no desire to interact with other nudists. This may be considered to be anti-social in some circles, but in societies where individual rights (or "choices") are held in high regards it is perfectly acceptable. A Home Nudist is someone comfortable with going nude for extended periods of time, other than simply before and after bathing, but who may or may not share this behavior with other family members. A Part-time Nudist may claim they only go nude when ideal weather conditions exist, or during extremely hot times of the year such as Summer AND only at established skinny-dipping spots, rivers, lakes or ocean beaches. A Resort Nudist is someone only comfortable with social nudity in settings or surroundings where they are unlikely to encounter anyone they know personally (i.e. relatives, friends, neighbors and co-workers). With the wide availability of photo sharing websites and extensive networks or friends and acquaintances these often include, and the use of "tagging" in photos, the practice of someone being ONLY a Resort Nudist may be on the decline. This is due to the likelihood a picture including them participating in social nudity may turn up unexpectedly in a relative, friend, neighbor or co-worker's search results. May established nudist clubs, resorts and campgrounds have very STRICT guidelines regarding photography and even the use of cellphones with camera capabilities. Photography is NOT allowed outside of times clearly designated as hobby or special interest group hours (i.e. yes, there are nudist photography clubs) and cellphones with cameras must be left in visitor's cars. Anyone caught violating these rules is subject to immediate ejection from the club, possible confiscation of the camera (or at least the photographs; if digital then deleting them may not be sufficient) and permanently being banned from visiting the club or resort again. Please check with the club or resort management for specific rules of each. A full or Full-time Nudist may believe or explain they have little or no concern with regards to being known as a Nudist or having nude photographs of themselves viewed by anyone, anywhere at anytime. Furthermore, the term "Absolute Nudist" has become more frequently used in recent years and this describes someone living, working and playing without clothing everyday, permanently. A Absolute Nudist would therefore tend to be someone living within a clothing-optional or nudist community and these do exist in various countries around the world including the United States or America. In all cases, the idea of integrative "body acceptance" or an understanding of the ways each of us is physically different in our body types, sizes, shapes and skin colors, is a central philosophy which social nudism tends to support. Nudism should not be misconstrued with other types of social activities STRICTLY intended for adults over the age of eighteen and involving "open" sexuality or erotic behavior.
What is life like in a nudist colony?
First thing,nudist places are no longer called colonies. Because the term "colony" sounds barbaric, this term puts a negative light on nudists and naturists. So the accepted terms are: Naturist (or nudist) Clubs,Resorts or Nudist Beaches. Life at the resorts or clubs is simple. We are people who just want to relax and recreate in the outdoors without clothes. At the resorts or clubs,we swim,hike,play volleyball & other simple but fun sports. It's almost like how Adam & Eve lived,except we have rooms w/ beds to sleep in. We don't force our beliefs on anyone and we do wear clothes now and then,just not 24/7. We even have cookouts (yes..the cook wears an apron! ha-ha!),dances and special occaision parties. All of these gatherings and activities are overseen by the owners and club/resort directors. Sexual activity (especially with children!!),drunkeness,drug-use,weapons and/or violence are not tolerated at all. Anyone in violation is not only asked to leave but has their name put on a list of offenders,and will not be admitted to any naturist related places anywhere in the world. If you are a couple,your "togetherness" should only be expressed in your private room. So,basically a naturist club/resort is a great place to feel free and more like the human being you actually are,instead of what society says that you are. We weren't born with clothes,so when possible and comfortable to do so,we just chill out and relax without them. Personally,I feel more equal to people there,than I do in the regular world where everyone feels the need to judge and categorize us all.

What is the difference between psychodynamic therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the past, emotions, and the unconscious mind. CBT focuses on behavior and patterns of thinking. The time it takes for psychodynamic therapy is either short or long-term. CBT, on the other hand, is a short-term type of therapy. Psychodynamic therapy aims to help a patient by exploring what happened in their past history. CBT does not dwell on a patient’s past experiences and history. Psychodynamic therapy does have a particular focus on the emotions of the patient. CBT does not focus on the patient’s emotions.
Is Arthur Janov's primal therapy a good therapy?
No, primal therapy is not a good therapy. It is based on some outdated psychological ideas such as catharsis (see debunking work by Bushman and others), memory repression (see debunking work of McNally and others), and the idea that the brain stores memories of every part of experience (see for the debunking work of Loftus, and others). There are other flaws too, but that is a start. A website was written about the flaws of primal therapy, see the link below.
Are nudists all gay?
No nudists are not all gay you have your "Normal Nudist" who prefer not to wear clouths and socialize with other nudes and "Gay Nudists" who are gay and open about but also prefer to not wear clouths and socialize aswell as touching.

How much does a nudist make?
This is not a valid question because "nudist" is not a type of employment. The term "Nudist" refers to someone who practices activities without clothing, usually for recreation, but in some cases living full-time without wearing clothing. Therefore if someone were a full-time nudist and working at a nudist resort, a question could be asked about their job title at the resort (or campground or club). In other words, it is possible for someone to be a Receptionist, Accountant, Owner, Grounds-keeper, Maintenance Person, Pool Attendant, Laundry Worker, Lifeguard, Activities Director, Social Activities Coordinator, Secretary, Massage Therapist, Bingo Caller, D.J. (DJ) or other paid title at a nudist site.

What are some nudist beaches in America?
No. There are no complete towns, villages, townships, or municipally governed nudist communities within the United States or America. Nudist resorts and small-scale "nudist communities" do exist in the U.S. and are primarily located in the states of Florida and California. Other U.S. states may have significant groups of nudists living together, but these are often on privately owned property subject to the laws and regulations of the county in which they are located. Nudist resorts and campgrounds are not commonly located near schools, churches, shopping centers or other large populations due to the unique nature of this lifestyle.

LOL! The answer's implicit in the question - though I dare say the proportion of nudists, or naturists as I believe they prefer to use, who would use a dating service is no different from that among any other section of the population.
Is public nudity still an anxiety dream for nudists?
The only possible answer is "maybe," because each person's dreams are unique to that individual. However, some sorts of naked dreams could reflect anxiety for nudists since they might be just as humiliated as anyone else to find themselves naked in inappropriate situations. On the other hand, they might enjoy different sorts of naked dreams that have nothing to do with anxiety. Where others might dream of receiving an award, or having others admire our gorgeous outfit, a nudist might enjoy dreaming of proudly strolling through a crowded mall in the buff.
