redpill me on therapy, does it work?I dont trust the jews btw
>>33638993Yes, it helps significantly but unfortunately you won't believe me because I am indeed a jew. I wish you knew about the scapegoat role maybe 1 day. Anyway peace.
>>33639007I had a therapist, paid 200 a visit, no insurance. Was a woman. I had an emotional/mental breakdown, she cried. I brag about it all the time but I dont know why. My grief connected with her on a personal level. SInce then, it sbeen hard for me to justify it.
>>33638993I almost did therapy when my dad died but found that blogging on here and talking to myself out loud helped. Some people might want to write things out. I type because I hate writing. Putting the thoughts in a form that are physically outside of your head whether verbal, or written/typed is important. If there is something you need to make a choice on, therapy may help. I was already worried about being taken advantage of financially by a therapist. Anon's 200 a visit, wouldn't have been cool with me, especially without knowing for how long I would've "needed" to go. It's good when you talk to someone who doesn't care. While I blogged on here, I wouldn't use /adv/ for any advice that you don't have a path on or that is easy enough that you can smell a troll. 4chan is also known for giving horrible life changing advice at times. Delete system32.>>33639024You probably brag about it because saying "I went to therapy and she cried." is a hilarious sentence.
>>33639024I think you should consider another therapist to explore that. In my experience a dude was much easier to relate with than a woman therapist. Everyone is different and we all have unique finger prints, yet all our bones are white, our blood is red, and can feel blue.
>>33639049>I almost did therapy when my dad died but found that blogging on here and talking to myself out loud helped. Same but with my mom. Lately I've been doing that with a breakup.>>33639024>You probably brag about it because saying "I went to therapy and she cried." is a hilarious sentence.Im OP, thats my post. It is pretty funny to me but no one laughs at it>>33639069>I think you should consider another therapist to explore that. In my experience a dude was much easier to relate with than a woman therapist.Perhaps I'll try. ill report back
>>33638993Go back to /pol/
>>33638993Yes, absolutely.Two caveats though: A Therapist doesn't fix you, he only helps you fix yourself. Second, you need someone you need to be able to genuinely connect with on a personal level, gut feeling if you will. It doesn't work like a doctor where you can take anyone. You need to tryol out different therapists and see whom you "click" with. therapy is like a regulated relationship where you can dissect and reflect what you subconsciously do in your everyday life. It requires a counterpart who fits you as an individual.
>>336389932 things you must understand>self-selection biasYou typically will mostly see people with bad experiences reporting. People who didnt benefit will flock to the internet about what a terrible time it was. People who benefit generally keep quiet and move on. You cannot judge anything based on what you've casually seen reported by people online. Its always skewed negative.>do therapists workYou can compare them to personal trainers at a gym. There is nothing they can do you cant do yourself, and you do all the work, theyre there as a guide to educate you and direct your energy.However, if you dont know wtf youre doing or how to approach it, youre no good to yourself, and it generally is better to have someone trained and educated about the correct path in your corner.But thats the problem a lot of people who complain have. They missed the memo THEY do the work. They go in with a bad attitude (many are teens forced in by their parents), they dont listen, they dont so the work, then when it doesnt work, they feel affirmed its all bullshit.This is your answer. Any questions? I wont answer them, Im going to sleep, but, feel free anyway.
>>33638993>I dont trust the jews btwIt won't work for you.
>>33639024>Was a woman.That's where the issue was then. It's impossible for a woman to solve the problems of a man, i.e. real problems. They simply lack the experience and always will.
>>33640255You're an idiot. Therapists don't "solve" problems. If you think that's what they do, it's not going to work for you.
>>33639007Scapegoat? Nigga you mutilate your kids and fooled Americans into doing along with you, you're pure evil.
>>33640296Hold on brother. I dislike juice as much as the next guy but circumcision is how the Annunaki will identify those to be separated as master slaves from the slave salves.
>>33638993Therapy is just rent a friend for lonely people.
>>33638993Yeah. When I was younger and full of rage and stubbornness and didn't want to listen or introspect, therapy didn't help me at all.Maybe if my parents/school counselor had been able to find someone who specialized in angsty young men, it could have worked. But I saw 2 different therapists - both laid-back, hippie type women - and neither helped me at all. I found them completely unable to relate to me on any level.But now, 15 years later, I have started seeing a therapist, and it is very helpful. I alternate between therapist with a human and also talking to chatgpt. Both have their values. I wish I had actual friends to talk to about it, but unfortunately my friends have always been the "just drink and get laid bro!" type, and that does not fucking work for anything other than a brief distraction. As soon as you sober up/30 min after you coom, you're right back where you were. Doesn't solve shit.
>>33645939In a way, yes. Not that there is anything wrong with that, either, if you were saying it dismissively.Ideally, therapy gets you a rented high-quality friend who can help you understand yourself, others, and the world. Very few people have a friend like that. I never did. If you do, you are blessed and I'm jealous.It should be considered more of a "rent-a-mentor" if you're doing it right. A therapist should guide you through your problems. I've found that most of my friends just want to smoke weed, get high, complain, etc. And while that can help a little bit, it doesn't solve jack shit. Look at all those people who go through their entire lives acting like this, they never find peace and they never understand anything. It's just a constant cycle of:>go through life in a haphazard way > run into problem >complain/cry/drink/get high > keep doing this while trying your best to forget about problem > get back to what you were doingAnd it repeats over and over until they die. They never try to resolve how these problems formed or how to prevent them in the future. That is what a therapist should do for you, and if your therapist isn't doing that for you, then they're a bad therapist and you should try to find a new one.
I've had 3 experiences with therapy. I'm a male.The first was a group therapy thing with two female therapists. I think it was 12 weekly sessions or something. Free on NHS.The people there were nice and I enjoyed being around them, both ladies were nice. The group itself didn't really help me, but what did help was the material the two facilitators handed out. It was kinda like 'homework' on CBT and included lots of scientific research and citations. And explanations as to WHY and HOW this works. I did a lot of the exercises to help with anxiety and bad feelings and it really helped. Good stuff. Personally I wouldn't recommend the group, but you can go online and find worksheets and that's just as good.Second experience was with a woman 1 to 1. She was nice but not for me. Had about half a dozen sessions but stopped due to covid. She wasn't giving me what I needed. When I was crying or frustrated she reassured me by telling me I'm "OK" but I knew it was bullshit. The whole experience was wishy washy and didn't feel productive and no basis in logic and reason. Might work for women who understand, but not men. Wouldn't recommend.Third was a male therapist. He was solid. Cut through the bullshit, made me aware of behaviors I overlooked. Saved my money and sent me to somewhere free. Either he got sick of me or couldn't help. But regardless he was a net positive. Would recommend.My advice is therapy is a tool. Sometimes it's what you need, sometimes it isn't. You also need to be VERY DISCERNING and vet your therapist. If you're blackpilled or have any 4chan talking points that normies would find unsettling or is considered unacceptable to talk about, test the therapist in your free introduction and bring them up. See how they respond. Do they acknowledge there's some truth to what you're saying, do they think you're nuts, are they offended or disregarding?Make sure you make very clear what you're looking to get out of it. Many are kiked, but some aren't.
I'm 35. Tried to off myself back in February because life was to much. I emailed and called over 20 therapist in my area, sent out in waves of first to last choice. Only 2 got back to me in a timely matter and the rest didn't email or call back till minimum 2 months from when I first reached out, if they bothered at all. Went for 5 months and stopped because I couldn't afford it. At no point did I feel like she did anything but continue to reinforce my horrid out look on life and gave me fucking horrid suggestions that I've done countless times and never worked. Worse is when shit didn't work and I called her out on it she just denyed that that's what she ment or that she didn't say that at all.I came out hard confirmed that you don't have control over your life in the slightest and that a life time of abuse and fucked up relationships are not ever going to be fixed. It doesn't matter how much you want to fix something or how hard you try, if the problem doesn't want to be fixed then there's nothing you can do.
>>33638993>does it work?No. Imagine you broke your leg, went to the doctor, he puts on the cast and then 5 years later you've spent 40000 and your leg is still broken. That's therapy.
Meditation and journaling are better alternatives.
>>33638993My big brother 36 has a rage problem, his back is busted and it causes him constant, never ending pain (10 years and ongoing). He has gone to therapy for 2 years. He has gone from lashing out against everyone and breaking stuff to apologizing about stuff that wasnt even his fault.I honestly dont know which I preferred. The angry one or the one who is medicated and seems like he is neutered.
>>33646049>I wish I had actual friends to talk to about it, but unfortunately my friends have always been the "just drink and get laid bro!" typeThat's been my experience when I talked to friends about heavy shit. Honestly I've accepted friends are just excuses to go out the house, not for deep bonding.
>>33638993no, unironically making peace with your shortcomings and inner demons is way more successful than therapy.there's a reson why most therapist are jewish, it's like prostitution, they don't want you to get good, they want you to pay them money for every session.
>>33647083>making peace with your shortcomings and inner demonsThats the goal of therapy though. Unless we're talking about simple behavioural issues or anxiety, where the therapist is just there to push you to overcome them.
OP here, I'm just gonna meditate, journal and talk out loud as I walk in public.
>>33638993With the right therapist it does work very well. Unfortunately finding the right therapist for you can be a tremendous pain in the ass. I've had 8 therapists and 7 of them sucked but the 1 good one probably saved my life.
>>33638993The only good therapy is Jungian therapy.Unfortunately, it has been totally abandoned by the medical community at large because it's all about the individual, while nowadays they all want you to submit to the collective.Jung would rather have you accept what you ara and become who you've always been, even if this could result in damages to society, because this is an acceptable consequence of Shadow Integration; modern brain-squeezers would instead give you medications if your inner workings aren't beneficial to society.(It was also abandoned because being a good Jungian therapist requires having encyclopedic knowledge of everything regarding the collective unconscious and you basically have to be a top-tier global anthropologist on top of a therapist)
>>33638993Therapy is a weapon used to turn white women against white men. It does what it's trying to do
Modern therapy is the art of repacking self delusion to be a good thing so as to keep the plebs productive.
>>33638993Yes, but it may be hard to find a good one, especially if you don't really know how/by what to identify one
>>33646083your friends are losers and bring you down to to a level where you need a therapist I don't know if that has occurred to you but you need to hear it
>>33638993can do depending on the person. a therapist is just western speak for a guru. do you feel like you need a guru?
never gone to or payed for therapy but i've read about practices. that way you can get lots of different perspectives.
