>in therapy>finally broach the subject of being sexually abused as a kid>start of talking about an instance that my memory isn't great on>only physically remember how it felt and emotionally>can't remember who did it or how old I was>therapist says she was sexually abused as a child and says she wishes she was one of the people who couldn't remember>tfw feel bad for mentioning the topic>brush over being groomed and exploited online bc that feels like it would insulting to her to talk aboutthanks therapistI feel worse
>>85094637show her what you wrote here next session, retardshe's your therapist, so communicate with her for fuck's sake
i dont remember being raped
>raped individual (either literally or mentally)>gets into psychology to "help others">most likely got into it to analyse themselvesWhy is this almost always the case?
>>85094658no, I don't want to hurt her feelings. I'm sure she didn't mean to come off as minimizing what I was talking about, I'm just an overly sensitive retard>>85094661I remember some of it as an adult, but I had another time where I blacked out and I'm not certain if he raped me during that or notmy memory is just shit anywayidk it doesn't even matter I just had to vent
>>85094674my last therapist was great, she had retired from neuroscience so she was a lot more grounded and intelligent, and I think she really did want to help people. this current therapist started off by taking about how therapy helps the patient and the therapist and it's like that's nice if it happens, but like I'm only going to help myself
>>85094684idk dude, i prefer not to think about it. I can't live my life being terrified of being raped (lol). As long as i dont become a basement sex slave im fine desu
>>85094674for better or worse, the non-raped can't into psychology, they have better and more productive things to think about
>>85094637You should bring up that you feel bad about mentioning. She probably didn't mean to make you feel bad, just trying to put a small silver-lining on it. Let her know so she can adjust.
>>85094637Did she say it during a casual interaction or mid session? That sounds very rude and unprofessional Next time ask her for payment since she wants to play patient
>>85094773mid sessionthat would be funny but I'm not rude. I'll probably say something if it happens again
>>85094637Why is literally every therapist bad at it?
>>85094696>this current therapist started off by taking about how therapy helps the patient and the therapisti tried therapy once a few years ago and was surprised to learn that this was the expectation. she didn't even warn me, she just spent most of the session having a mental breakdown after i spoke for maybe ten minutes. this was supposedly a well-regarded professional. i didn't really mind it, it's more natural than one-sided clinical conversation... when she stops crying she attempts to 302 me for being too real with her (i was trying to be supportive, saying i'd dealt with suicidal thoughts too when she brought up her own)that ended up being part of an insurance fraud scheme and i had to escape the mental hospital with bribery. be careful with these people. the chances are slim, but it happened to me.
>>85094684YOU are the patient. You have the right to tell her how she made you feel. It is beyond important to do so.
>>85094827It's because most therapists aren't trauma-informed (retardedly enough). And also because insurance companies want quick fixes and give you, like, 2 months to heal everything. They require a diagnosis and treatment plan, even though people don't work like that. Conflict of interest.
>>85094658You are extremely low IQ if you think there's any way to communicate with a therapist who just pulled that shit. Fucking moron
