Even rick goes to therapyWhy can't you
who is therapy for? its like every tv show or podcast i listen seems to mention it. but who the fuck wants to talk to some other person about personal shit
>>215083254sounds like you need it anon
>>215083201Because therapy is a huge scam. It's sole purpose is to trick retards into giving zog money to vent their extremely common issues, and to push hormone drugs onto kids.
>>215083254we get it, you have autism
>>215083201People just like to say "seek help bro you need therapy" to feel better about themselves. Therapy isn't guaranteed to fix things and it can be prohibitively expensive.
>>215083201Remember an episode where he turns himself into a pickle?
>>215083657Talk therapy helped me with PTSD. Didn’t do jack shit for social phobia though. And yeah it was pretty expensive.
>>215083657its just the PC way of calling somebody a retardyou imply they're not just stupid but somehow "damaged" and that you're only saying it because you care about their heckin mental healthi cannot fucking STAND therapy-heads and the overmedicalisation and psychiatrisation of culture. it makes me absolutely sick
Why are women obsessed with therapy?
>>215083791It's an easy out when they get called out on their bullshit.
Therapy and anxiety meds help me deal with autism and years of sexual abuse at the hands of my dad. I would probably be in a much worse place without it.
>>215083254>its like every tv show or podcast i listen seems to mention it.It's because most writers these days are women and they're unreasonably desperate for attention and validation, and males who aren't getting paid for it won't put up with it for long, so they're all going to therapy and naturally their female brains process that as normal human behavior that should make its way into every single project they're involved in.
Fuck you, fuck Freud, fuck feminism, fuck the jews and FUCK YOU.Therapy is for fags.
I have autism, severe adhd, was a nightmare as a kid but mostly grew out of it. I've seen maybe 20 therapists in my life. 90% of the time the advice they'll give you is basically the same that you'd get asking some random boomer grandparent or something, and they're very quick to diagnose you with shit or try to push pills, ive had it happen after literally one session. You can legit just go in and say "I'm having trouble focusing I want adderrall" and they'll give it to you. I try not to think about whatever long term effects the ridiculous drug cocktails they gave me as a kid are gonna have.I remember I was for sure gonna fail a class because of health issues beyond my control and I told my therapist about how much Im dreading it because i knew my cunt parents would have no sympathy and be assholes about it, and his advice was literally "well if you try SUPER hard and you pass then you wont have to worry about it!" Then that same day I overheard him discussing my personal details with someone so I never went back.Oh btw another thing, i come from a family full of therapists, they WILL gossip about you, at most they probably wont use your last name. Doctor patient confidentiality doesn't mean shit to like 90% of them.
>>215083702i had friends when younger who went to the local college student program who are studying therapy and they got free sessions. idk if it was any good though because i didn't care to ask
>>215083201I had to stop going after I had sex with my therapist and he told me we can’t do this anymore
>>215083581>Because therapy is a huge scam. It's sole purpose is to trick retards into giving zog money to vent their extremely common issues, and to push hormone drugs onto kids.t. received an upsetting diagnosis 15 years ago
>>215083791Misery loves company.
>>215083791substitute boyfriend for them in terms of emotional venting
>>215083950>he
The therapist was a self-insert for the writer of this episode and she thought she was really clever for being able to psychoanalyze a fucking cartoon character.Imagine a whole Looney Tunes episode where some feminist writer has Yosemite Sam go to therapy and talk about his anger issues instead of trying to kill Bugs Bunny, and The Tasmanian Devil gets put on Ritalin so he isn't so destructive and he just sits there journaling for the whole episode. Riveting television.
capitalism would like to commodify social interaction while enforcing norms onto you.
>>215084008It solidifies and expands their issues through continuous validation. The bitches would be better off being told "no, that stupid, shut the fuck up, get over it".
>>215083977Shalom.
>>215084060bad therapists do that, but a good therapist will help you be the best version of yourself
>>215083254People these days are afraid to have those conversations with the people closest to them. It's the fear that if they say the wrong thing they may lose a companion. But that's exactly who you're supposed to have those conversations with and those conversations are what make them close family/friends to begin with. People these days seem to be forgetting how to "get real for a moment" with each other and are retreating to therapists as a way to have introspective conversations with no social risk.Also, the rise in online therapy comes with the rise of online parasocial influencers. Having a real talk with somebody online could scratch the same itch for people that watching a streamer for hours does. In the end, for the lonliest of people in our society, therapy has proven to be little more than a friendship simulator. You might as well watch Matt and Pat throw an axe into a hole for an hour, it'll cost less money and give the courts less evidence to use against you.
>>215084021Does it make it better that he was a bottom and kind of feminine
>go to therapy for years, half a dozen different psychologists>doesn't do shit, all of them are retards who can't rhetoric for shit so I ended up convincing them all that it made sense for me to kill myself>eventually I got a psychiaTRIST who said "fuck it, nothing else works" and made me try SSRIs and now I'm normal, can make friends and even talk to women and everythingnot sure if that's a good thing or not though. I'm basically a fucked-up broken retard drugged into making it seem on the surface like I'm not insane even though I am. I'm also a raging woman-hating racist who wants to violently overthrow the government and kill all my country's politicians, but now I can hide it perfectly. wonder how many of us there are out there.
>>215084161I'm here bro, they got me on the Vortioxetine.
>>215084161>convincing them all that it made sense for me to unalive myself>is still aliveyou're just a bitch looking for attention
>>215084161SSRIs are just a placebo so if they worked on you, you’re dumb
>>215084161You have even more limited options in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Like step one of your zombie survival plan has to be "get to the meds".
>>215084060Saying that is what a good therapist does, except they obviously won't directly say that or with those words because it's too easy for the other person to instantly go on the defensive and ignore it.One has to make the person realize that on their own or else the bitch won't do shit.
>>215083201I do go to therapy. Been seeing a counselor for a number of years. Made some serious breakthroughs because he confronts my bullshit head on. At this point a lot of my visits are just maintenance. Making sure I don't get too comfortable and fall back into bad habits. It's...work.>>215083657Definitely right, but the key word is "can". I don't know if the vast majority of peeps on here pay for their own insurance or have it provided by their employer, but I'm only paying 25 dollars per hour session. Admittedly that may be a lot for some people but given the price of everything nowadays, it's a bargain.
>>215084008>substitute boyfriendYou mean family.
>>215084161The SSRI's didn't even work on me. I'm too powerful.
>>215084203not saying I want to die, just that it makes sense objectively by my own moral framework that I should die
>>215083254Women need to pay for a friend who won't back stab them or try to fuck them
>>215084161>I'm also a raging woman-hating racist who wants to violently overthrow the government and kill all my country's politicians, but now I can hide it perfectly.You're completely valid in feeling that way though. Most women deserve to be despised and our governments should certainly be overthrown. Why do you think SSRIs are so prevalent now? Most people feel like this, and they should.
Therapy is used as character exposition where they can frame a situation forcing an artificial explanation of their thoughts and feelings without it happening organically through the plot or character dialogue, which is difficult. Having Rick confront himself in a way that serves the story is hard. Having a newly introduced character serve as the writer's mouthpiece under the guise of an actual profession gives their critique an air of validity when there is none.
>>215083201Moral hazard.
>>215084252if you won't act upon your own morals, they're merely performative and thus worthless. you're like a woman
>>215083254People who need someone they can talk to openly and honestly without facing repercussions.
>>215083791Women seek an authority figure to derive power from, and in the godless age we inhabit, nebulous psychology and the witch doctors who conjure it from the ether (read: Therapists) can come in and give them an objective reason why this or that emotional response is actually deeply rooted in a larger issue, or justified by some grand principle, which gives them a cudgel to go out and emotionally batter everyone they regularly interact with
>>215083201The reality of therapy is that most therapists make like 50k a year and work in windowless, closet-sized offices in publicly funded facilities. Is that someone you want to take advice from?
That season is the downfall of the show and completly disregard the other 2 season ,The writer Jessica Gao self inserted herself as the therapist, pick related.She also created she-hulk ,one of the worst main stream tv-show of all time.
>>215084161>and kill all my country's politiciansIt has never been easier to do that, what are you waiting, frogposter.
reminder: the ultimate point of her long rant was>yes you're smart but therapy is like a chore and you need to do chore
>>215084305This. The Sopranos pioneered this and even there you can tell that by Season 2 the writers were sick of how cheap a trick it was to just outright explain the emotional themes of the show.
>>215084363lotta words to say they just want blind validation
>>215084329Most people have no idea how much of an impact this can have. Some of the stuff that flies out of my mouth in therapy is equal parts comedic and batshit insane. Sometimes I'm genuinely suprised I said something so outlandish or matter o fact. But immediately upon utterance, I'm then left with the realization I said that. It was coming from some place. It wasn't complete nonsense. And exploring that to some degree is usually worthwhile.Some of the things I've said in therapy:>If emotional vulnerability was a person I'd attack them on sight.>Their very existence on this earth is an affront to my principles.>The only reason I'm not in jail is because the right opportunity hasn't come up.
>>215083201I'm not being guest written by a condescending cunt.
The entire point of the episode this screencap is from is that Rick would do literally anything to not have to go to therapy.
>>215083201I hate women. Is there anything they don't fucking ruin???
>>215083201Rick is a fictional character. Rick never went to therapy until the show got female writers and felt like effeminating Rick by having him go to therapy. Original Rick would have never gone to therapy and think it was beneath, but that's what happens when you get new writers (women) for your show.
>>215084696Keep putting in that good work. Proud of you
>>215084392why didn't she make herself pudgy?
>>215083201that's not rick, that's rick
>>215083935I mean… it was good advice bro. Just try harder and pass the class
>>215084696>>215084222You’re a raging faggot, never post here again, beanerboi.
>>215084329I'm pretty sure if i told a therapist what i really think and feel theyd inform the authorities or have me committed. you cant be fully honest with a therapist.
>>215084696People have just no idea the stuff others hide in their mind that they would only admit to someone who legally can't talk about it to others without their permission(sans defined intentions of harming self or others etc etc)Through all my internet browsing, one of the most weird fetishes I've ever seen still is on from a book where a therapist or psych talked about some cases she had talked with patients. And as I recall she describe this one as a pretty regular woman outside of it.
>>215084996I don't doubt it.But there are only a few things therapists can break doctor patient confidentiality for.>imminent threat to yourself or others>child abuse>court order
>>215083935>If I basically tell you everything about this person but call him John Smith no one will ever figure it out>person listening figures out who it is in 3 minutes>well I can't confirm or deny thatYeah, they're scum.
>>215083935At least you learned a lesson about why women will get angry when you try to solve their problems instead of just being a sympathetic ear.
>>215084996You don't need to tell them everything, you can leave out some fine details or talk more broadly about that category of problem that's bothering you, and still reap the benefits. You're not compelled to blabbermouth like you're under truth serum, although you might have to try a couple different people to find the right one you resonate with.If it's something too dark and you need to get it off your chest, I believe the protocol is to write it on a piece of paper and then burn that paper., or some equivalent untraceable destructive method
>>215085176>a girl in your spanish class is my client!>i have 2 girls in my spanish classwow, how could I ever figure that one out
>>215083254I always assumed therapy is only for crazies and women
>>215083201Psychotherapists are predators whose goal is to make sure you never stop paying for treatment. They'll make sure you always take 1 step forward in one area and 2 steps back in another so you remain eternally dependent on them. True self-improvement comes from within, therapy is a trap.
>>215083201Therapy can't cure Schizoid Personality Disorder. Drugs neither. Only forcing myself into raw social engagement can. Going out, talking to strangers, making friends. For most people this is the pastime so all the structures of society including therapy are designed with it in mind as reward rather than cure. I don't go to therapy because I went to a psychiatrist for years and they both never told me any of this and were ultimately the enabler of my developing a Schizoid personality, which takes fucking years. Essentially, I don't go to therapy because the entire profession is bad at their stated goals in my specific case. If I had something society is more prepared to deal with because it makes a bigger splash, like schizophrenia or BPD, I'd happily go. But I'm like the Olympic divers and and therapists can only tell me "Hmm I don't see any ripples, are you sure you're in the water?"
>>215084996If that's the case then you probably do need to be committed.
>>215083254Affluent cityfags who worship the pharma industrial complex because they can't confide in their peers.
>>215085115The problem is that these days "child abuse" includes things like "telling your child their actual gender" and "discouraging homosexuality." I'm sure the definition of "imminent threat" is similarly broad these days, you really can't be too careful.
>>215083254I tried once and the therapist spent the entire 1 hour session writing down the answers to a pre-session questionnaire i had submitted a week earlier - so they not only wasted my time filling it out the first time because they didn't read it, but then wasted it a 2nd time acting as a bootleg stenographer and jotting down my dictated answers on a print out of the exact sheet she sent me. Charged me $250 for the privilege. Never went back.
>>215083201These very special episodes used to be about showing a side not normally seen.They didn't assume audiences were so fucking stupid that they couldn't detect an asshole character was an asshole, or a retard was retarded.Nowadays they just want to "take them down a peg" as if the audience somehow doesn't get that a dysfunctional character isn't the most stable person in the cast.
Therapy does work- for normal people.>I broke up with my gf/I don't get enough recognition at work/I have a bad relationship with my dad!Therapist can work with these.>I haven't spoken to another human being outside of work for 10 years/I'm severely addicted to interracial cuck porn/I have a pathological hatred of black people and JewsThey are going to struggle with these.Complaining that therapy cant fix your late stage psychological damage is like bringing a gunshot victim to a Walmart pharmacy instead of a hospital and then getting mad at the tech when they bleed out.
I know the type of girls who went to school to be therapists and I know enough of what my local colleges psychology programs were like to say with confidence that none of these people had any particular insight or knowledge gained from school to be a more effective person to talk to than any random schlub. To believe in therapy you have to believe in a therapist have any kind of authority but I simply cannot.
>>215085431therapy cured my schizoid pd, sounds like it was a skill issue for you
>>215083254For women. Women DESPERATE need to complain and receive sympathy on a regular basis. A therapist is someone you can pay to do that for you.
>>215083254>who is therapy for?It's literally for women. It was created for women, any science behind it revolves exclusively around women, and anybody that tells men "go to therapy" is a retarded woman who doesn't understand that therapy as it exists in 99% of the cases does not work for men.
>>215086103I think I could handle the latter cluster just as well as the former. Arguably better, since there’s more room to improve. Lads, if your interracial porn addiction is affecting your quality of life, I’m listening. Kik: Suave_Scorpion And you don’t have to worry about confidentiality if I have no idea who you are.
>>215086217I don't trust you, you're not just going to violently masturbate as I describe my interracial porn tastes and addiction are you?
>>215083935Yep, same thing happened to me in the 1990s. Back then the drug dosages were fucking insane. They pumped by hyper dumb little ass full of so much fucking Ritalin, man. Then Prozac, can't forget that. Then they decided when I was on Ritalin and Prozac my behavior was indicative autism so I went on some other pill I can't remember. I did not sleep for 3 fucking days. When I finally had a legitimate mental breakdown from not sleeping, the doctor diagnosed me with a psychotic disorder and recommended anti-psychotics. That was when my dad finally got pissed the fuck off and flushed all that shit down the toilet and told my mom to stop taking me to those people or id be dead in a few years. Best thing he ever did for me and I normalized after that, just had some issues with socializing, but otherwise normal. I didn't realize it at the time but my mother has muchausen syndrome and she's always "sick" bouncing from doctor to doctor and my dad probably saved me from trooning out or a killing myself because she was starting to exhibit tendencies of Munchausen by proxy.
>>215086145It's more about having someone supportive to have an earnest conversation with rather than some special wisdom they have to share.It's also having someone to hold you accountable.
>>215083254it's just confession but without the icky gross christianity part
>>215086336My therapist told me I have financial survivor's guilt.
>>215086249I will, but I promise it won’t affect the quality of my treatment.
>>215086145Said the grown man living with his mom. They may be ineffective but it’s not like you know any better.
>>215086172Eh you might just be dumber with less tightly knotted problems? The only time I had success was when I was briefly seeing the most highly respected psychiatrist in a city of millions, but that was too expensive. Taking charge of my own care has been effective.
>>215086352>financial survivor's guiltI have that sometimes. I have a nice job with decent pay so I feel bad when I see people struggling while working harder than me.It's not that I'm super prosperous. I'm just surviving late stage capitalism while others aren't.
>>2150832544chan is the asocial schizos therapist
>>215083254>who is therapy for? For the women who write the scriptsThat's all they now
I tried therapy for a few sessions. All they gave me was hollow platitudes and an enormous bill.Eventually I learned the secret to being happy is apathy. Don't focus on the bad things because there's nothing you can do. The moment you realize your life isn't a game with a guaranteed happy ending that you have to work for, the better.
>>215084161>I'm also a raging woman-hating racist who wants to violently overthrow the government and kill all my country's politicians, but now I can hide it perfectly.i dont need drugs to think that, or hide iti just dont act on it
>>215086382sounds like your covert narcissism is inhibiting your growth potential - a belief you can’t get better is a guarantee that you won’t
>>215086361im getting married in month and have a good job and a good place. nigger I know what an HSA is how dare you make an assumption about ME
>>215083254it's a confession booth for atheists basically
>>215086418the solution to that seems obvious like volunteer and shit if it makes you feel that bad. If a therapist said anything differently I would question that therapist's abilities as an enabler rather than someone who'd push for the obvious solution
>>215083657I’ve been going to therapy for 4 years and it’s been a long battle
>>215086878>how dare you make an assumption about MEfucking retard
>>215086925you're a horrible therapist
>>215086829>Taking charge of my own care has been effective.>a belief you can’t get betterIt's no longer "might." You are dumb.
>>215086948watch me therapist your ass>>215086930>>215086975retard
>>215086989GO BACK TO SCHOOL
>>215083201These are the people who should be going to therapy
>>215086909You guys misunderstand. I don't feel bad for poor people in general. Similar to survival guilt, it's about the people I left behind. I.E., my family. The biggest hurdle is that they are MAGA conservatives with traditional values who think working at trade jobs that barely pay and are too prideful to ask for help. I've literally watched one of them lose their home because they were too proud to ask for money and too broke to get a loan.
>>215086909Actually the solution is to accept that it's not your fault.
>>215086989You're the one who can't tell the difference between "a therapist can't help me, but I can help myself" and "I can't be helped" retard.
>>215087009that was a different retard, retard
>>215087082i have no clue what you're talking abouti didnt read the thread, just replied to one of your postsfucking retard
>>215086975if your therapist didn’t get you to the point of having actual friends or a gf, but you’re now trying to get better without a therapist, then you’re an arrogant midwit if your have a gf or some new best friend you’re trying to make a go with then good luck
>not female>old(er)>behavioral therapy>don't lie (he will never be your friend anyway so just tell him the sick shit you think about/are up to and don't pussy out)>listen, act on his advice OUTSIDE OF YOUR PAID HOUR WITH HIMthere, now you will actually get results
>>215083791one girl told me(she was an insufferable human being btw) that "it's like having a personal cheerleader for your life". women thrive off of social affirmation.
>>215083201What Rick goes to as "therapy" haven't been recognized as real therapy for a decade. And I can't tell you if any of it if really any better, but cognitive behavioral therapy has been the standard for a while and is definitely not what Rick is going to in the cartoon. You can hate the modern world all you want but you really don't know what you want to eage against
>>215087124How would a therapist actually get him friends? That's not a therapist's job. Their job is to give you the tools where you get your own friends.
>>215087177Yeah bro, therapy is la bad. All you need to do is hold in your emotions and work out.
>>215087219>Their job is to give you the tools where you get your own friends.Which would be how a therapist would actually get him friends.
>>215087219if he couldn’t get friends while having a therapist he’s going to have a lot more difficulty without oneschizoids tend to be quietly arrogant people and they easily rationalize away the need for therapy, unless the anon tells me he’s actively trying to date, volunteering, joined clubs etc I will assume his efforts to improve on his own are hogwash
>>215087283>>215087260You guys are really confusing therapists with life coaches. Weird question, are you guys Incels by chance?
>>215087317he said he was trying to cure his schizoid condition you retard which means he at least wants a friend, you don’t cure schizoid and then still be a friendless loner stop interacting in bad faith
>>215084754no it's not retard
>>215087124>if your therapist didn’t get you to the point of having actual friends or a gf,They did not.>but you’re now trying to get better without a therapist,I am and I did. I was on and off with psychiatrists and psychologists (the latter were more helpful IMO) for decades and the only times I ever improved were the various years I was in between them or seeing a superstar with his face on all kinds of magazine and shit. Thus my feelings are that therapy sucks for me specifically unless I'm seeing the Michael Jordan of therapy. Because that's what happened. If you are a therapist, I can see how that view would be an insult. However, you've been a dick, so I don't care now.
>>215083201Its only useful if you are a turbo normie and/or a massive retard. I went for years and it was worthless.
>>215087503Thats why he even does all the pickle rick shit to begin with.
>>215087536this isn't the pickle rick episode
>>215083201I mean, how well does that work out for him though? Isn't it ultimately counter productive for him? Which would suggest highly intelligent people are hurt, not helped, by therapy. Maybe the secret to happiness all along was avenging your dead wife against an intergalactic super villain.
>go to therapy>say tfw no gf>she says I look normal and shouldn't have trouble getting a gf>charges me $80>never go back to therapy
>>215087507>only times I ever improved were the various years I was in between them or seeing a superstar with his face on all kinds of magazine and shit.kek, this is the second time you are trying to brag with this to strangers on the internetyou are so fucking far away from 'well'
I went for 6 years and it only made me worse in everyway. I was in a significantly better state mentally and physically and socially before going.
>>215084329>they can talk to openly and honestly without facing repercussions.I just have those talks with my close friends
>>215084329But thats no use to me in practical terms. That would not help my situation.
>>215087590do you have a gf yet
I had an ex-girlfriend who said she'd become "politically conscious" and started going to protests after her therapist encouraged her. Are they supposed to do that?
>Be 31>Start dating girl who is 20>We go together like peanut butter and jelly>I'm crazy about her>She starts going to therapy because her mother died>for some reason the cunt sets her sights on me first>tells her we're codependent on each other and that's somehow a bad thing>tries to get it in her head that I "manipulate" her>tells her that the age gap is inappropriate >after about 6 months of grinding her down she finally dumps me using religion as an excuse
>>215086418>I'm just surviving late stage capitalism while others aren't.bait post
I went to a male one once for about 2 years and at the end he told me I should just kms as he said he couldn’t see me actually getting any benefit from therapy and that we had made zero progress in the entire 2 years lol.
>>215087761No he didn't.
>>215087721You should have been the one in therapy you SICK FUCKYou literally RAPED her thank god her therapist helped her realize that
>>215087773Yes he did. He specifically told me I should jump off a cliff. He was a boomer in his 60s.
>>215087283>if he couldn’t get friends while having a therapist he’s going to have a lot more difficulty without oneMy experience was explicitly the opposite of this. Being with therapists and actually following their instructions, I was told to focus on the exact wrong things that were just exacerbating my issues.>unless the anon tells me he’s actively trying to date, volunteering, joined clubs etc I will assume his efforts to improve on his own are hogwashA weekly board game night and a weekly meditation at a temple are my outing mainstays. My efforts have been so successful that I am suffering from lack of sleep right now because I just spent time with my friends, who I made at the former, for music bingo Friday, a party at their place Saturday, trivia on a team I personally started Sunday, and a different bimonthly game night at a bar. Is that good enough for you, therapist daddy anon? I desperately need your approval!>>215087602I'm far from well in the sense that I'm bored enough to be replying here, for sure. Actually, to be fair, I am putting off responding to a Hinge match, got me there. What you think I'm bragging about, I couldn't possibly fucking imagine. Last time I specifically mentioned it was too expensive. This time was a restatement because I feel like I'm talking to a child and it's just instinct to be really repetitive and clear in that situation. If you want casual conversation you should work on both reading comprehension and bedside manner.
>>215087761I've seen two different women who told me that I wasn't trying, wasn't progressing, and needed to leave it because there was nothing they could do. I've seen one woman who actually helped me move forwards but was only in my city temporarily. None of them told me to kill myself, that wouldn't happen.

>>215087827I don't know what to tell you. He told me to jump off a cliff as he said I would never get anything from therapy.
>>215087761I went to two different therapists for sex addiction. One of them not only encouraged me to be slutty, but on multi time brought up the idea of us fucking. I was 19 at the time.
>>215087862I had one encourage me to let a woman cheat on her husband with me. I think a lot of these therapists are fucked in the head themselves.
>>215087698No.
>>215083254Therapy never works because most therapists and psychiatrists are more mentally ill than their patients.It's also a field where a "cured patient isn't a customer" so it encourages repeat business with no progress getting made. Want some SSRIs and Xanax?
>>215087801>>215087860Based boomer absolutely telling it like it is to your sad-sack faggot ass.At a certain point when somebody is trying to help you with your depression for two years and you won't accept the help and quit whining, it's your fault. He knew you weren't really suicidal and that you were just looking for attention and wasting everyone's time and he called you on it. Now you're whining on the internet and wasting everyone's time in this thread, so now I'm the one who has to tell you to shut the fuck up and go jump off a cliff.
>>215087879>I think a lot of these therapists are fucked in the head themselves.Well known.
>>215083201>high school has 3 towns that go to it>2 lower middle class towns and an upper middle class town>freshman year>hang out mostly with the upper middle class people because they're in my classes>everyone's pretty normal >over the four years more and more of the upper middle class girls start going to therapists>start getting put on anti-depressants>more and more start acting crazy>go to 10th reunion last year>none of them have children>only a few of them are married>only a few of them are even in stable relationshipsIt may just be the times and not specifically the therapists, but there was a pretty clear link in my memory between learning a girl was going to one and a pretty steep decline.
>>215087879Yes they are more mentally ill than the general population. Encouraging divorce is very common. It's just a way for Jewish psychology to pry their way into people's personal lives. Like marriage councelors who hate men lol.
>>215087940>you're sad?>how about happy pills that make you more sad and kill your emotions + sex drive?>still sad? Well keep coming and buying pills I'm sure it will work out
>>215084203just say suicide you faggot. don't pull that unalive reddit nonsense here, even if you're being a faggot ironically.
>>215087929I wasnt looking for attention. I was forced into therapy. I didn’t want to do it at all. My general doctor forced me to go.
>always you feel suicidal and have extreme emotions you want to deal with? You can trust me. I want to help you work through your emotions and impro->POLICE POLICE ARREST HIM LOCK HIM UP WITH SCHIZOPHRENICS AND FORCOBLY MEDICATE HIM>a job well done!
>>215087813>still trying to brag>with a fucking hinge match of all thingsholy fuck dude, should have stayed in therapy, seriouslyalthough, reading your posts, you're probably completely resistant to any advice and reflection at all, qualified therapist or notprobably self diagnosed yourself wrongly to boot, smells like cluster b to me
>>215087929How was he wasting the time of the therapist? He still got paid either way.
>>215087879>I think a lot of these therapists are fucked in the head themselves.I only know one person who became a therapist and he was a midwit drug addict and a cuck (willingly)
>>215088007This almost happened to me. She told me she was going to call the cops on me because I told her I think about shooting myself. I had to convince her I didn’t have direct access to a gun to get her to change her mind. After that point I was always on guard about anything I said to her making the entire thing basically pointless. This was several years ago anyways.
>>215083254for making money, it's a jewish scam>>215083201it's completely pointless. They did some study and the ratio of therapists is ridiculously woman heavy and no woman is ever going to help a man and their peer reviewed studies literally recognize that therapy doesn't really do much for guys because the therapists are all women so they don't know what they are talking about
I had a roommate who went to therapy once a week for years, and at no point did it ever help him communicate his feelings to me more clearly, nor did it ever stop him from screaming at his father one minute into a conversation because he was annoyed with himTherapy is a bullshit backpat for the affluent
>>215088076How do I know you are dying young
either mental healthcare in the US is FUBAR or half the thread is larpingcompletely insane
>>215088187It's both. People aren't sane when living in a Jewish ran society. They need everyone to be a smiserable and mentally ill as them. >sucks bloody baby penis
>>215088012Are you so insecure your think mentioning a Hinge match is bragging? The point was that I'm doing the schizoid thing of avoiding the new interpersonal intimacy. That I mention it shows I am aware of it. God damn you're so off base here, I'm definitely believing you are a therapist. This is exactly the kind of shit I experienced. I can be making objectively great progress socially and my metacognition working perfectly to make me aware of where I being my own enemy, the exact opposite of "resistant to reflection," but a fuckwit like you will make these contortions to shove my reports into a pathology that's more familiar to you. Utterly pathetic.
>>215083201>show has therapy>show has faggots>show has jews>show has sign languageNetfix starter pack
>>215087993Well there's your problem. You get out of therapy what you put into it. If you didn't want help then it's not going to work.
>>215088394Uh no that's therapy's problem. The best practices are the ones you actually do. You do the ones you want to do.
>>215088394Why did it take his therapist 2 years to come to that conclusion? Sounds like scam behaviour to me.
>>215088394>put money into therapy>don't get money backWhat did Anon mean by this?Therapy always has been, and always will be a shitty atheistic version of church.
>>215087967Saying unalive is terminal brainrot beyond even reddit. You can say suicide or kill even there. No hope whatsoever if you say that word.
>>215088255ok but europe is also completely captured in this regard, and, taking this thread at face value (lol) there are multiple worlds of difference>>215088276you mentioned it because i told you that i think you are not making the progress you think you doawareness is not understanding or reflection, you can cognitively realize you're fucked and still be of the opinion it's alright, and that it is the world that needs to changenice belief but fuck me if i would ever even think about curing other people, you need to have your own rock solid foundations for that, from the very beginning of your life, imowhich is why there will always be a good percentage of shit therapists, because they went into it thinking they could cure themselveslook, i'm needling some guy i'll never know or interact with again, that alone disqualifies mebut back to you :)>avoiding the new interpersonal intimacyit's a fucking algorithm match, got fuck all to do with intimacy until you meetfrom where i'm standing, you seem to really NEED to believe that you are indeed making progress right now, any other option is unthinkablethat is not what getting better is about, at all>>215088394>instant replieskek truth hurts
>>215088436>It's clear that you need to stop doing drugs>No I don't want to2 years later>Reeee why am I dying of a drug overdose that fucking therapist screwed me I want my money back so I can spend it on more drugs
>>215088913I'm actually a teetotaller though. I dont engage in any vices.
Should I get a male or female therapist?
>>215083201oh yeah. the lead writer self insert episode
>>215089352go with a male therapist. they're at least capable of honesty. on paper at least.
>>215083201i went to therapy and it made me worse and gave me ammunition to use against my enemies
>>215083201I did but I couldn't bond with my therapist and felt overwhelming shame after every session so I dropped him.
How can therapy make me believe life has purpose ? What could some intellectual inferior do to convince me of something I’ve concluded through 28 years of internal debate in 40 minutes at a strip mall? Anythinf they could possibly say to me I’ve already thought.
>>215089515weak bait
>>215089515Therapy is to help mend your mental issues and struggles, what you're looking for is a philosophy class.
>>215089282>Because I'm intellectually honest and now also emotionally capable>I reported it plainly.>elicited a self-evaluation>and found 1 result.fuck man>For real, the fuck is your problem?not 100% sure, of course, but probably?i compensate for an overdeveloped/pathological agreeableness in personal relations by adapting an overly combative character on heregetting better though, rl part, at least>>>you seem to really NEED to believe>It is, like the sky is blue. jesus anon, if you'd be able to believe me on one point, please make it this one:getting better is not about steelmanning through your whole life, disregarding every possibility of setbacks and slumpsaccepting THAT very part is, in my opinion, at the very center of actually getting to where you wantnobody is able to not stumble ever, if you forbid yourself this eventuality you might as well get yourself a sturdy length of rope right nowpositive thinking/reinforcement is a good tool but it can never be the end all be allfoundations, right?>>215089352seeing as there are no girls on the internet >>215087132

>>215083915>t.
>>215089792that was some pretty nice bait in your first post therewhy would you go and fuck it up right after :/
>>215083254For anyone who needs it, it's just that most people use it to vent and make excuses for themselves. This is why you have people who keep going and seemingly never get cured. My best friend has been going since 2020 and it's insane. At that point, that dude clearly can't help you or you're not telling him anything.I saw a therapist after a manic episode and anxiety attack. Over time, came to confront a lot of those issues with him, but I wanted to figure out why rather than make shit up. After like a year or so, I felt a lot better, therapist agreed and he told me to come back any time if needed. You're never truly "cured" but it does help. Like >>215087132 said. It's basically this. Some people legit just sit, vent and then go back to doing the same shit ignoring all advice or keep seeing shit therapist.
>>215089945> that was some pretty nice bait in your first post there why would you go and fuck it up right after :/ my therapist said the same thing
therapy only works if you are a neurotypical normie npc
>>215083201Rick therapy is generally regarded as that series lowest point.
>>215089846There aren't meds for schizoid. There is a point at which one stops bothering to reason with an overly combative person.
>>215090093it's a meme, ya dipand 'that guy' hi anon wasn't just schizoid, not in a thousand years>>215089999keked and checkedneeded thatthank you and good night
>>215083201one of the greatest evils perpetrated by capitalism was the complete destruction of our old feudal support groups and interpersonal networksi know we'll le RETVRN someday but god damn does it suck to live in the meantime
>>215089757>getting better though
>>215083254Therapy isn't even what people think it is anymore. They try to teach you "life strategies" and give you homework and shit. They barely even listen to your problems, they just throw a bunch of pseudointellectual "mindfulness exercises" nonsense at you where you're supposed to self examine yourself. It's fucking useless.t. Had to go to therapy with my BPD sister to support her
>>215090541It's useful for most people because most people are dumb and putting a lesson from ancient philosophy in imperative modern language is all they need. The problem is the stereotypical psychoanalysis on a couch is not scalable for the millions of neurotic people out there. There aren't enough old Jewish men.
>>215090541you are supposed to self examine yourselfa therapist can’t fix you, only you can. A therapist can’t hand hold you 24/7, you have to actually consistently function and make good decisions without them in the roomplus it’s your life, you are the person to decide what the best version of yourself is, people have different goals and ideas for what happiness means
>>215083201therapy is a racket for the jews.
>>215084161>can talk to women>by taking the pill that breaks your dickRIP
>>215090728more like midwit women desu
>>215090665But then why do I have to pay them $180 an hour
>>215090762because if a therapist is poor they won’t be able to help you that much, like going to the gym and having an obese trainer
>>215090728Modern soulless capitalist Americas version of a priest or holy person. >>215090541Your therapist was a predator who was upset they couldn't get your sister alone to manipulate her. My psych 101 professor said never leave a young girl or vulnerable woman alone with a lez shrink. Always leads to trouble.
>>215084161I don't believe pills will ever solve the problems inside their headsBut my brother changed from "straight-jacket wearing enthusiast" to "Depressed man trying to fix his broken life" after getting medicated, i guess some people really do need pills to function
>>215090932Have you never seen a homeless person? Of course some need the pills.
>>215083201I'm heterosexual
>>215083254>who is therapy for?People with no internal monologue.
>>215091001Most homeless people I see are on drugs and that seems to be the source of their problems.
>>215083201>>215083254It’s a trick to get your to spill your guts to some 40 year old liberal catlady or faggot.
>>215083791They're fucking stupid.
>>215083791>>215091276Yes, but also, women desire above all else to be told they're right, and will pay for the privilege.Psychology is easymode, once you're practicing.
>>215083201Because it's expensive and I'm not a woman/faggot. If you have problems, spend your blood fixing them instead of spending thousands of dollars talking to somebody who doesn't want you to fix anything.
Believe it or not, /tv/ used to be huge Eick and Morty fans until this moment. I wholly believe that the ask for self-reflection was too much for the average channer, and they rejected the show like bitter medicine.
>>215090786Lots of shitty therapists make good money and/or remain fucked up mentally themselves. Not remotely comparable.
>>215083791>Why do women like to endlessly talk about themselves and pretend that their horseshit is a brave and stunning struggle with someone who is not professionally allowed to tell them that they are a vapid whore who has created all of their own problems and should shut the fuck up?Is mystery!
>>215089515>some intellectual inferiorYou sound like my ex girlfriend and she was a diagnosed narcissist Every time I would pay for her to go to therapy she would decide she was smarter than the therapist after just one or two sessions and quit, then tell me I was the one that needed therapy.You could be leaps and bounds ahead of someone intellectually, you could be better at reading and math, etc. That doesn't mean they aren't more intelligent than you morally. If you're a shitty, miserable person with no friends or social skills, what else matters in life?
>>215083201Therapy only works for the unexamined life or those with heavy blindspots.If you don't fall into those categories then the following is likely true :>your life actually sucks and you need to strategically find a way to improve it.>you wish for the true peace of eternity and living cannot compare to that desire.If it's the second find a way to die, relatively painlessly.
>>215091502I partied with the psych girls in college all the time I know the type of person who becomes a therapist. You’d have a point if it was the 1950s
>>215091306>women desire above all else to be told they're right, and will pay for the privilege.So many therapists do this to keep their clients coming back and it's wildly unethical. I've had so many relationship problems in the past because every time my gf would get into an argument with me she would immediately call up her therapist who would validate every stupid shitty thing she said and confirm I was the bad guy.Didn't matter if she spent our rent money on Coach purses, this faggot would find a way to tell her she was justified in doing so and blame me.
>>215083201most therapy is just a symbolical form of castrationask Lacan
>>215091560A lot of psych majors go into completely unrelated fields, and the ones that do end up in psych are usually emotional wrecks themselves.If you want to make any serious progress, go to an actual doctor like a psychologist, not some cut-rate Becky who is a "counselor".
>>215091563>I've had so many relationship problems in the past because every time my gf would get into an argument with me she would immediately call up her therapist who would validate every stupid shitty thing she said and confirm I was the bad guy.Like nearly everything in the modern (((West,))) psychiatry is a fucking grift. Just ride the wave and get yours. Shits crashing down, Anon. Don't take it personally.
>>215084161>I'm also a raging woman-hating racist who wants to violently overthrow the government and kill all my country's politicians, but now I can hide it perfectly. wonder how many of us there are out there.So the meme about about SSRIs turning people into MKULTRA mass shooters was actually true
>>215087590this exact thing happened to me but with friendsgod they're insipid
>>215091502The most likely to be a narcissist is the faggot who keeps calling people narcissists.
>>215084161>I'm basically a fucked-up broken retard drugged into making it seem on the surface like I'm not insane even though I am. I'm also a raging woman-hating racist who wants to violently overthrow the government and kill all my country's politicians, but now I can hide it perfectly. wonder how many of us there are out there.Drugs are gay, and I don't hate women, but they are fucking stupid and need to go back to the kitchen, but otherwise das me

>>215090541bpd is incurable and crippling so ya no shit all they can do is foist some "how to not ruin everything for everyone" homework on you and hope some of it sticks, what else are they gonna do
>>215092879Tell their parents "this is all your fault, here's why, now go and make sure you tell everyone you know who might ever become a parent not to repeat your mistakes".
>>215084696These are shockingly uninspired or interesting things to have said even if you "genuinely" meant them.I'm glad you are learning to express yourself anon, I'm disappointed your social circle raised you in such a way it seems hard for you.
>>215092879bpd is not incurable lol
They're literally rapists. The Rapists. :p
>>215089352Female therapist if you want someone to blindly validate you, tell you nothing is your fault, and create an unhealthy dependence that keeps you coming back to hear whatever you want to hear.Male therapist if you actually have an issue to solve and you want to fix it.I had a female therapist that I was forced to go to because of a drug habit. I gave it a shot. Told her everything I could say over a span of two hours and she essentially told me that none of my relationship problems, substance abuse issues, and family problems were my fault (they were all almost 100% my fault). At the end of the session, all she had for me was an exercise wherein I had to "open my heart chakra". That'll be $250. She was referred to me by a family friend that "fixed" his marriage after his wife cheated on him with me, on my 18th birthday, unbeknownst to him Fuck female therapists. I am convinced that overpriced hag would have tried to get me to transition if I'd been there more than one session.So I go to a male and he basically tells me to get my shit together. Stop going to outpatient treatment for depression and spend time exercising and be with my positive influence friends rather than the suicidal whiny faggots I was hanging out at the hospital all day with. Don't turn to drugs and solve the underlying issues if I ever want to quit. Avoid toxic relationships with toxic women. The guy fixed in a month what a female might never have fixed, or even wanted to.Besides getting married to the wrong woman, picking a female therapist as a man is possibly the most retarded decision you could possibly make in your young life.
if you go to therapy to solve your mental problems you are just dumb and can't self-refelct. what is a therapist gonna tell you? something they read in a book? most therapists are just faggots that took the profession because it sounded easy (I just have to talk to people). They'll hear what you have to say and then tell you the most normie advise in the vain of "just have to accept yourself", "have you tried to open up to people". And when that doesn't work, they'll just drug you up and cash in on your stupidity.
since my wife left me 4 years ago i started talking to old therapist (at $250 a session) and my life has improved immensely: some friends, many hobbies, extremely good job. But the thing is she has never told me to do anything or given any advice. It's just a space to talk about stuff you could not tell anyone else and to get out of your confined head and articulate your self-reflection, express your anger, sadness, etc. Could I have done the same progress without therapy? I don't know. All the years I had with no therapy felt like they always ended in some explosion, like the thoughts stay in your head and bounce and bounce until things go wrong
>>215094390Sorry your wife left you bro.
>>215094205>I had to "open my heart chakra"
>>215083254People who don't have real friends
>>215094205>open my heart chakraI don't necessarily disagree with your spiel on male vs. female therapists, but that wasn't a therapist. Hell, they make male versions of those wooks too.
>>215083254It’s just a plot device so they can generate compulsive dialogue without developing a story scenario
>>215083201>High IQ Nihilist Atheist>Going to therapyThat's how you can tell it was written by a normalfag writing about things they don't really understand
>>215084329>>215084696Do not fedpost to your therapist; only fedpost to your close friends in person. Look up what a fucking mandatory reporter is.
>>215083201>Fat, self-aggrandizing chink self inserts as a girlboss harpie to harass the problematic male character to the detriment of the showWhy are female "writers" like this?
the rapey me
>>215083201I don't think anyone actually understands therapy. You go to therapy because you want to talk to someone about how you feel because you can't talk to people around you about how you feel. Rick doesn't "need" therapy the way TV or regular people think you need therapy. It's a contrivance of writing to make an entertaining show that Rick goes to therapy. Rick's problem is he doesn't engage with his family meaningfully. Seasons 1 and 2 were about him trying to do that, but ultimately being unable because he cannot reconcile that reality is infinite, and despite being infinite, his family matters. The best thing he could do for his family was, as the season 2 finale goes, leave them behind. But then the show drops this idea because there is no show if Rick leaves his family.It's the same thing with Tony Soprano. Tony's problem is he doesn't engage with his family meaningfully. If Tony engaged with his family meaningfully, the entire show goes out the window.You don't need therapy, you just need to give a shit about your life and the people closest to you.
>>215094973She made herself skinny lol
>>215094973God I want to fuck that round chubby little face and cum down her ching chong throat
>>215083201I go to church.I've got confession.I don't need some jew telling me I have to "liberate myself".
Therapy only works for people with low IQ. Rick going to therapy is character assassination considering he's meant to be a genius.
>>215094205>open my heart chakraI technically did this a couple hours ago. The difference is is I did it with the guidance of a legit Tibetan Rinpoche as part of an established practice and not some halfwit's parlor trick. I unironically recommend that over therapy.
>>215083201I went to therapy for four years and if anything it made me more messed up
>women provide sex, care, and babies>men provide defense, money, and affirmation (women are biologically driven to be desired), >make defense something the government does and everyone has to pay for or they go to jail>make welfare something the government does and everyone has to pay for or go to jail>make therapy something insurance and the government expense so everyone has to pay for it or they go to jail>men now provide all of their services to women by default (almost all firefighters, cops, and combat personnel are male and paid for by taxes you cant opt out of)>women suddenly incredibly entitled and promiscuous Hmmmmmm
>>215095770What's your solution? I bet it's retarded.
>>215084244Same, then I took shrooms and it literally cured my depression and I fixed my breaking relationship and invested my money into crypto. This was like 8 years ago. I'm very happy now. Therapists are fucking retarded. Psychedelics will do everything therapy tries to achieve, but you can't lie to yourself when your ego is fucking blasted so you get the most real and raw introspection imaginable without any filter.
>>215083254I know, right. I just talk to the store clerk at my local liquor store.
>>215087721>codependentThis is such a fucking retarded concept, I hate this shit. Of course partners are going to be deeply dependent on each other, that was the fucking norm for the entirety of human relationships. You should care more about the well being of your significant other than literally any other being on the fucking planet unless they are your kin. You should be willing to slaughter others for the sake of your lover if the situation required. You should love spending as much time with them as possible. You should rely on each other for deeply personal things that you wouldn't rely on anyone else for. My wife pops my pimples, I pluck her pubic hair with tweezers, we would never drive in a car without the other present because if one of us dies the other wouldn't want to continue life so it's best if we both die together should an unfortunate accident happen. And that's fucking NORMAL. We love each other. Literally no other single person on this planet matters more than her, and it's not mentally ill to have that mindset.
>>215083254I went to therapy after my gf had a miscarriage. We both wanted the baby. That bitch therapist couldn't stop yapping about my gf and how i should be there for her even though I explained over and over again that I was already doing everything I could to support her. I have solved more personal issues with good friends and beer.
>>215091306>Psychology is easymode, once you're practicing.I'm 30. Is it too late to shift careers?
>>215096539>codependentThe DSM has all sorts of problematic diagnoses but this isn't even in it. It's just a made up word with no scientific validity behind it like demisexual or shit like that. I would immediately drop any clinician who used it.
>>215083254Anyone who wants to get a deeper understanding of the way their mind operates
>>215096938should take up meditation
>>215094205>his wife cheated on him with me, on my 18th birthday, unbeknownst to himAnon you absolutely need therapy to deal with how much of a traitor and shitty friend you are, holy fuck.
>>215087721>>Be 31>>Start dating girl who is 20LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>215084140>watch Matt and Pat throw an axe into a hole for an hourman this bot really needs to be updated
>>215087243this but unironically. when you have your eventual mental breakdown in the gym there will be dozens of buff dudes to stop you from smashing your head in with a barbell
>>215096551>>215083201rick isn't fixed.Talking to friends, colleagues, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents, should be more recommended for it more important they're don't fuck it up, these quacks do fuck it up all the time, i have heard horror stories, ps there are goods but hard to find it seems
I fucked a therapist for a long time and I'm here to tell you they are all a bunch of lying hypocrites.
>>215087721That was definitely, completely your fault. I promise.
>>215096551The whole western world will tell you over and over again how everything is unfairly rigged for men, and men will always help each other out to the detriment of women. But my god is tribalism strong in women. That shrink, whose job it is to be empathetic and help you, couldn’t even muster one iota of a fuck to give about you, because your suffering is meaningless compared to the suffering of… some woman she will never meet. It’s a really unfortunate problem in marriage counseling, too. Bitter old crones automatically identify and side with the woman and just poison the relationship even more. If you refuse to go, you’re not willing to work on the relationship. If you defend yourself, you’re just being obstinate. And if you accept that everything is your fault, why would she want to stay with you anyway? I’m not saying it’s all female shrinks/counselors, but it’s a distinctly female problem.
>>215083254Its for people to dump their issues on a random stranger. You get the same benefit from telling some priest in a confession box. At least with a priest they are salt of the earth humble people. The atheist world needs to emulate or copy anything from the Christian world to feel like they have a grasp on reality. Unfortunately, they will do to inequity.
>>215095873I dont have one. Women want what men give them, but men also want to give people what they give. I was in the military willingly, i was a volunteer firefighter, i want to turn my effort into a better world. Men and women have conspired together to increase the efficiency of male effort to what it is today, and now individual men and needed less than ever. Its a catch 22. I would undoubtedly be a more useful and valued person to women if we lived in the stone age, but i dont want humans living in the stone age. Women and men also seem to agree the things women provide are immoral to socialize, so its just doomed to be imbalanced.

>>215083201my therapist used to give me blowjobs during sessions when I was 16. my parents thought therapy would help since i was constantly skipping school to go smoke pot with my burnout friends. she was 28, slim, married, kind of plain in the face, not pretty but not ugly. it was nice. didn't make me want to go back to school tho, just made me want to get my dick sucked more. in hindsight if I were smart I would have started going back to class just to lie to my parents about it working so I could keep seeing her.
>>215087590date her
>>215087590>tell girl im single>she acts surprised, says im a catch or whatever>ask if shed date me, purely hypothetically>noDoomed to be attractive to every gurl except for the ones that exist

>>215094205>Go to therapist >Gets me to unlock my chakras>Wind up crippled>Don't accomplish anything anyway
>>215098012Shit that totally happened
>>215094390>But the thing is she has never told me to do anything or given any advice. It's just a space to talk about stuff you could not tell anyone else and to get out of your confined head and articulate your self-reflection, express your anger, sadness, etc.So it's an atheist confessional booth. Funny how the modern world keeps moving away from religion while simultaneously re-implementing everything religion did for thousands of years. Almost like the religions had some shit figured out literally ages ago.
>>215083201I already spend all day blogging about my life on 4chan. It's the same experience but for free.
>>215083791>>215083254Therapy is for women, women love to vent and talk about themselves, they aren't really capable of internalizing their thoughts so they always need to talk to people about pointless retarded shit or else they will lose itYeah women are unironically retarded, their brains are completely different from a man's brain
>>215083201trying to normalize therapy is like trying to normalize your bad heroin habit. it doesn't make me a pathetic faggot loser! l to the mfao - seriously if you go to therapy you're a fuckin mark end of story.
>>215083201I did go to therapy and it made me realize that I don’t need therapy. The point of it to answer this anons question >>215083254 it’s to work through issues. If you’re having trouble dealing with shit you go to talk to someone that can help give perspective. But ultimately you’re doing most of the leg work. You basically just tell them what problems you face and they can give you some advice or name a series of different issues that you may be dealing with but ultimately you have to figure out whether you have them or not and how you will deal with them. Also unlike the OP they’re not smug retards that give you a full broadside explanation of all of your problems. Their job is to listen and recommend things. Real therapists don’t talk like that because 1. It’s not constructive and can lead to further issues. And 2. It’s very likely a patient would deck them.
>>215083693No, I don't recall that
My ego tells me that there's nothing a Therapist can tell me that will make a difference and my detachment confirms that. In my defense I have a well enough adjusted life with a job, family, home, car etc
>>215083791My retard gf went to one while our relationship was on rocks and eventually she dropped it after half a year because she thought it wasn't really making her learn anything. Proud of her doing that on her own but at least the therapist said I was a good boyfriend from how she described me
therapy is for NPC retards with no inner voice. Therapy is for people who start fights with their family and friends and can't figure out why their relationships are so difficult. Therapy is for people who have no goals in life and can't figure out why they feel stuck.
>have friends I can talk to shit about and I can fully rely on them to tell me when I'm being a fuck up.>workout so whatever anger or sadness I have I work it out in the gym>Don't eat poison goyslop or take SSRIs or other pysch medsIt's really that simple and if you actually want someone you can talk to about something personal that you don't want to involve with your friends either go speak with your local priest or go to a strip club and find the stripper putting herself through psychology school and pay for a few dances to talk through your bullshit because they don't do the kiddie glove shit that therapists do.
>fuck up last year when I brought the friend I had gotten to know that year as a +1 to a Halloween party and found out he's a date rapist. (Looked into the accusations, they're legit).>Thought I was over the guilt after talking it out with my bro had invited my and the hostess of the party (bros sister). Both oh them repeatedly saying they did not blame me because I couldn't have known, and appreciated how I looked into it.>Go to bros 30 years party. See a lot of the same dames I put in danger last year.>All the women in my bros life that he loves. That I endangered.>Can't get in partymood, feelings of guilt override. >Ended up putting on a Pokerface and leaving early. When I got home I punched a wall hard enough to get a bruise over my knuckles that lasted a week.Waking up the next day to feel the pain in my hand and seeing the big bruise made me realize I needed a shrink.Still had the bruise when I shook the shrinks hand. He didn't comment on it.
>>215087862>sex addictionThis shit doesn't exist, it's complete nonsense. If you have sex everyday with your partner, that's fine, but if you have sex once a week with a different person, you're addicted to sex! That shit only exist in America and maybe the other anglo countries
>>215103274>If you have sex everyday with your partner, that's fine,I've spoken with plenty of women who considered their boyfriends/husbands sex addicts for wanting to have sex every day. Women are just retarded, and they also dominate the fields of psychology and psychiatry.
>>215097042You don't get it, I was 18 and she was 55. They were my mom's friends, not mine.
>>215097964>the solution is this shouldn't be happening to you but because it is there is no solution.
