My therapist took sick leave and now I won't see her for a month. She said I have obvious trauma and she was gonna help me. What the fuck is her problem?
>>83849881She's just sick, anon.
>>83849881She got sick of hearing about your problems.
I just wish SHE had called me or something. Some bitch admin whore called me this morning just telling me she was gone and I had to reschedule. I don't have anyone else.I've barely told her anything and yet she's sure there's something wrong with me. I've never had a therapist say to me that I have trauma.
>>83849935Just use AI, it's way better than therapists evidently.If you dont like the default way it talks to you i can share a decent prompt
>>83849881Therapy is a scam dude
>>83849959I've been doing that for a quite a while now. Sort of hit a brick wall with it and now it just feels very hollow. Having a connection with another person is pretty important, even a terrible misanthrope like myself understands that by now.>>83849969That's certainly been my experience for most of my life.
>>83849976I've been to therapy on and off my whole life and the shit has never helped.
>>83850005That varies on who you get. But yes, the overwhelming major are flat out shit.
>>83850005>>83850141My therapist tells me a ton of her clients are just normal people going through a breakup or whatever and they don't actually need any help.And so, I wonder if more than half of this industry is just normalfag dipshits talking to other normalfag dipshits about literally nothing?i've met some of the stupidest cunts alive who have degrees or whatever the fuck in psychology, i dont doubt for a second that you havent been helped properly.
>>83850198Adjustment disorders are easy to work with. They just need someone professional to talk to help them get through a hump. You and me are different. We have actual disorders. Their training is shit when it comes to this. Sure, they can do all the CBT, DBT, motivational enhancement all the hell they want. It doesn't mean shit since they don't really know how to actually deal with it.I've been to it multiple times. The only time I got anything out of it is when I had a very old psychologist. He knew his shit. He validatesd what you felt, but he also called you outon your bullshit. He also properly taught me how to deal with traumatic episodes. It sucked that he had a heart attack in his own office and died on the way to the hospital.
>>83850230holy shit dude that really sucks im sorrythere has apparently been new ideas regarding how to treat trauma in the last 10 or so years. i'm really hoping this woman will actually be able to do SOMETHING because she made it seem like it was all a big deal. im just worried she's gone now and i was expecting some progress next week not next month. the people who have nothing wrong with them get easy access to help and those who need it get scraps. i cant not feel horribly bitter about that.
>>83850280That's the problem with actual disorders. They're long term. It takes a lot of time to really break it down in order to help you. Most therapists don't know how to do that. Trauma is a lifelong thing. It's also a bitch to treat. You'll have to be implementing stuff you learn from someone who truly knows what they are doing. The mental health system is a broken system. It's as you said: the ones who don't truly need it get it. Then there's us who get shafted. It took forever for me to get the ADHD diagnosis I have and finally get .edicated for it. Meanwhile, Normie Joe can go in, say he's having a hard time concentrating. Oh, sorry to here that: hete's your Adderall prescription. See yiu in three months!I still get my panic attacks and such. Now, thanks to him, I don't have to take my klonopin anywhere as often. I haven't gotten a refill in two years. That's just how well he was in teaching me things. Typical therapists will teach you stuff like grounding and mindful awareness. They dob't take it far. They may make you create an "ally" to talk to that you can imagine while in the middle of the store having a panic episode. That guy made sure you knew it and would practice it for a month if that is wgat it took. I could be in a grocery store, and be having one, and still shop and not stop to imagine talking to my "ally" while having one. His replacement is shit. She may do some emdr with me, but again she's into the "ally" shit. That doesn't bring you back to reality. Knowing your surroundings and being aware with mindful awareness while grounding yourself does. Focusing on yiur physical health works better than imagining your "ally" and you on a park bench talking through some distressing event.
