>>37654769Your therapist sucks fucking shit, no decent therapist will treat you like this. Report that cunt for making you feel like shit so that she can’t hurt anyone else, bye bye license
>>37654769Therapy is worthless. It just is. If you have issues that can't be solved by just talk it is pointless.
>>37654769>Live in extremely liberal part of canada>Unaffordable or unavailable healthcare >All drugs are gatekept>No jobs and high prices on everything Why did I move to this shithole.
>goes to inpatient psychiatric unit >nurse says "I assumed you were gay. Is that offensive?" And laughed in my face They wouldn't let me out after that either. It was basically just an insurance scam where they kidnap the mentally ill for a month and then neglect them. Any type of psychological care is a scam if you have basic sentience/self awareness.
>>37655197That reminds me of when I was at the psych ward as a kid and one of the therapists said something along the lines of "this is why you're here, I feel bad for your parents" when someone had a breakdown I didn't see her again after that
>>37655197>It was basically just an insurance scam where they kidnap the mentally ill for a month and then neglect them. Any type of psychological care is a scam if you have basic sentience/self awareness.agreed. different therapists diagnose me with different mental health conditions. there's no consistency or reproducibility at all. they just put antidepressants in you without even doing very thorough evaluations. i get diagnosed with random shit on day 2. and they subject you to conditions worse than the ones you just came fromfacts:>therapy makes you worse>medications make you worse>they take your money>they look down on you
>>37655415psych wards are basically prisons and patients are treated as criminals to be feared and/or punished
>>37655415that's such a fucked thing to tell a kid wtf>>37655505basically. like, do any trans people have NON-horror stories relating to psychiatric institutions?
>>37654769Talk therapy only works for the general population who has general problems. It doesn't treat mental illness. For that you need to see a specialist and receive specialized treatment.
>>37654769>>37655078Hello fellow vancouver trannies
I abused and disowned my mother because she ruined my life with therapy
>>37657371100% you’re the problem
>>37654769Therapy is garbage. You would get more value talking to a bum outside of a gas station, and that's not a joke.
>>37655047This
>>37657010You solved my riddle!
>>37657390Therapy can be effective but you actually need to have a lot in common with the therapist and become informal and friendly with them. Every once in a while you need to turn it around on them and ask them about how they think, what their life is like. You need to make them interested and promote their engagement. In essence, therapy works when it's actually a natural and organic human interaction between two people and not a robotic interrogation with a complete stranger who doesn't want to be there
>>37657478Why are you up at 5am? I have an exam to cram for so don’t ask me
>>37655078>tfw be american living on a northern border state>have the same problems that canadians have except our economy is doing slightly less shiti'm not particularly patriotic but canada unironically just seems like an inferior version of america
>>37655197My wife was stuck in a psych ward briefly as a teen.The workers would get in everyone's face and scream at them everyday and try to shame them for being there. They would constantly rub it in their faces that they were there and how much of a disappointment they were. If they were there because they were suicidal they really went after you.They are just abuse factories
never telling a single other person about any of my troubles hahaha
>>37654769>Repeatedly over multiple sessions keeps asking me if I want to cut my dick offThat's sounds like a complete retardation of the current therapeutic model which is likely based on Carl RogersI think you should switch
>>37657574its just the modernized confessional booth desu. we need to de-specialize emotional support
>>37660477i just want letters excusing me from going outside due to my severe agoraphobiadon't even care about neetbux, i can make an income pretty easily from home
>>37654769kind of reminds me of my therapist a little bit. i eventually told her that i actually like it when people use she/her but she still uses he/him all the time like okay i thought maybe you would at least avoid calling me a sir or mr. unnecessarily :/
>>37657478I work on something that needs to be released this month or else it won’t make money and I’ll DIE!
>>37659698She doesn’t verbatim use the wording “cut your dick off” just to clarify that was hyperbole, but like every session she keeps bringing up srs (something I’m in no position to pursue and still look/present completely as male and probably will for years) and it makes me a little uncomfortable because my answer has been consistently “I don’t know”
>>37654769A lot of therapists are shit and you need to filter out the shit ones. you have a shit therapist.>>37657735>canada unironically just seems like an inferior version of americapretty much yeah, but surprisingly people said the reverse of this like 10 years ago.
bump
>>37656965tbf my counsellor is specifically for trannies who got raped
