I dated a guy for a little bit who was in analysis 3x a week, no judgment, but he started telling me things him and his therapist were deciding about things i said etc, felt like too many people in the relationship 

Really that’s one hell of a take. Hill wrote those abusive texts with his own hand, but it’s the victims is bad because she released them? That’s rich. 

I wish there was more regulation to therapy rather than the straight forward stuff like affairs or sex abuse. There are a lot of bad therapists out there that people genuinely think are ideal: Dr. Phil, the Metallica therapist, the Jonah Hill therapist, Dr. Drew, etc.

Jonah Hill a Jerk!! Wow. Who would have guess that one? /s.

Hill wasn’t communicating boundaries; he was laying down rules. Big difference.

I smoke a lot he wasn’t in the greys internetting is hard.

What’s unfortunate is that Hill’s stated reason for making the documentary (to share the therapy tools he finds amazing with those who may not have access to therapy) is admirable and the tools listed in the doc are solid, but the total lack of boundaries in their relationship and with the documentary just makes the…

And no legitimate therapist would have engaged at this level or inserted themselves into the public eye like this.

I even have a problem with the “he should have dated someone who doesn’t offend his sensibilities to begin with” type of response. This kind of guy doesn’t want a partner who conforms to his desires, he specifically wants someone who doesn’t so he can take her down a peg and exert control by making increasingly strict…

Speaking as someone who is currently in school to become a licensed therapist and who spent two years as a phone advocate at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, I’ve been learning to pay special attention to how my clients are receiving what we go through in counseling sessions. Working at the Hotline taught me a…

Still, I think (or hope) that these are growing pains of therapy becoming more widely accepted. Millenials and Gen Z may not have mastered talking about mental illness yet, but I prefer talking about it at all over the silent shame previous generations experienced.

“You refuse to let go of some [photos] and you’ve made that clear. I hope they make you happy.”

Evolved my ass...

Dudes love that shit. “I love your free spirit”. Then the woman exhibits said free-spirited behavior.  “But not like that.”

My favorite dumb potshot from the recent craze with “therapy speak” has been the “It’s not my job to teach you” line. In almost every context I see it in, it makes the speaker look dumb, even when they’re addressing legitimately bad behavior it makes them look dumb.

Or pics of your said girl wearing what amounts to what she has to wear to do her job. Next thing you know he’s gonna date an exotic dancer and be jealous.

We are witnessing in real time how some men feel entitled to control their partners’ lives—and that, for those who’ve made therapy a part of their personal brand, so-called “self-care” is just another tool in their toolbox of exerting power. Of course, it all comes down to one of the most pernicious things…

FTFY

Probably not a good idea to date a surfer chick if you get jealous of guy friends.

Because what’s at the root of all of this is men still thinking their happiness, completeness, satisfaction, and kindness rests in the hands of everyone else, mainly women, BUT them.
