Another reminder of who the REAL psychopathic monster of the Old Testament Bible was.

She’s most definitely not in love with Jorah but he’s in love with her.

Why don’t you start by not acting like you have everyone who doesn’t respond to therapy figured out? Honestly this is some of the most tone deaf, ugly bullshit I’ve seen around here. You speak as if you’re some kind of expert & then when people point out why your logic is fucked it’s all “I’m not a therapist!” If you…

AN they just told you some of the most convoluted logic ever. If they are shitty at their job, and their work sucks, they arent told to have any introspection or help themselves. They are told in their education that the patient is to blame, for not wanting it. LOL This is such raw sewage. What do YOU think the…

kittens is full of shit. you have the logical , thoughtful and sane response to the subject. people like kittens are gaslighting idiots who would blame a patient for actually expecting their mental health worker to actually, you know, WORK with them.

you are SO sanctimonious, you have got to be in the field or training to be. Or just exceptionally stupid and tonedeaf.

Are you a therapist yourself or in training? Because this is a scenario that is also used by therapists who don’t do their own jobs well enough to help a patient. It’s the SOS victim-blaming. Psychology is a pretty soft science. They are trained in cookie cutter ideas, some of which are frankly bullshit. If youre…

You could personally start the movement by not dismissing/criticizing mentally ill people who talk about their problems because you personally have not experienced the same problem.

^yes, so much, to all of this. CBT didn’t work for me either for similar reasons. a combination of some talk therapy, medication, lifestyle changes (like eating and sleeping better, and yoga) and mindfulness seem to work best for me.

What she did was awful but this seems like a slippery slope.

Well that explains you having such a shitpoor understanding of psychology!

Girl,

As a fellow survivor of childhood trauma, what I like best about my current therapist is 1. That she is a person who will say nice things to me about myself 2. When we talk about things in my past or even present, she helps me see that a lot of the things that happened to me are really effed up AND not my fault.

This *clapping*

Unpopular opinion, but therapists always seem put their own pride and feelings of self satisfaction before the humanity of their patients. They think that their not being frustrated and not being called a shrink is more important than building trust and having empathy.

I found CBT to be totally overwhelming. When you go to therapy with feelings of inadequacy, being overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed out, being given homework on top of that just makes everything worse. Also recently read that anyone on the spectrum likely won’t react well to CBT, which makes absolute sense to me.

I think it depends on where your issues lie and how well you respond to coping strategies. I haven’t had much luck with CBT since I’m perfectly aware of why I do things and the usual strategies (affirmative statements to counter negative thoughts, breathing and meditation, working out) don’t really do much for me. But…

I’ve never had a therapist happy to deal with transference. In fact I usually get shut down & told that I’m doing this wrong. The problem is there are plenty of therapists out there but most of them are not very good at their jobs. So not only do you have to find a good one with little to go on (which is really hard…

Nope, when you wrote “and that’s how I met my husband” you put that causal relationship right in there.

And that, not some fairy-tale, is how I met my partner,
