so this is just two retards getting mad at each other and the "backrooms" is just a convenient weird setting to be exploited

it'd be a refreshing change for a therapist to be honest for once.

>>220861393
>>220861479
Therapists have zero reason to get right to the issue, which can be fixed first session, because then they'd be out of a job.

am curious how a therapist can help anyone, I don't mean it in an hostile way. At best it provides a new view on certain things the patient has. I believe, and it's just my belief, that many mental problems such as depression can only be cured from the inside by the afflicted

Yes.

If that were the case, every unhappy person on 4chan would have "fixed" themselves by now

>>220861500
My former one got mad and kinda gave up on me because she'd tell what to do to fix my shit and I'd just do nothing about it and rot away. My current one is also my irl friend and I vomit for a bit to her about the girl I'm obsessed with and then we move on to talk about philosophy and other useless crap until it ends and she starts talking about her life. Sometimes we do stuff together in other places. I think I'll visit her when she gives birth to her child.

>>220861522
>At best it provides a new view on certain things the patient has
It's this. Therapists are supposed to be neutral observers of your fucked up shit, and give actual advice. I'm sure they worry if they give people hard truths, patients won't keep paying.

>>220861573
>If that were the case, every unhappy person on 4chan would have "fixed" themselves by now

it requires a certain strenght, I don't mean it's an automatic process but in my opinion only YOU can win against the voices in your heads

The new outlook alone can help? Bit optimistic

so no backrooms?

>>220861582
Problem is therapists are human like everyone else, their shit is all fucked up too. They've been trained to diagnose things and throw medicine at it, but fixing someone with their words is asking way too much.

>>220861522
I went to therapy consistently for 6 years, the therapist I had was a lot smarter than me and was amazing to talk to. I learned a lot objectively about my relationships and a lot about the people around me. My therapist also helped me deal with compulsive lying which is what I originally went in for, getting to the root cause psychologically and figuring out how to fix it. I found it extremely valuable, in my country the government pays for like 70% of your sessions if you go to a doctor first and get referred. I've heard they can be real hit or miss, but I got lucky & the conversation and perspective of an intelligent trained professional objectively listened to your life and psychology is a great step forward in understanding yourself, it changed my life.

>the real monster was mental illness all along

He couldn’t handle the truth bomb aka the truthnvke. It’s like when a Christian realizes Bible is full of fucked up shit or when a Trump or Biden support realizes they are being used. Even if it’s just the plain truth from there source they can’t handle it so just like a nuke it goes

Boom

>>220861393
I think what some people are missing is SHE is a hack therapist. She runs a shitty little clinic in a strip mall, and sells hokey self-help tapes on local TV. She presents herself as knowing things, but doesn't know shit. She's what you would call a "grifter."

>>220861393
>so u sayin this is mah fault?
got a laugh out of me ngl

>>220861522
The idea is that they help you help yourself by providing things like information and context to certain mental and emotional phenomena and conditions and you decide of if it’s the case and how to deal with it. Basically it’s just having someone to talk to and in doing that they can be a sort of alternate perspective which can potentially help you deal with your own shit. Though you have to be careful because they can easily fuck you over under the guise of professionalism. Which is why you just talk to them and don’t let them push too much and absolutely do not let them hook you to a shrink since they can actually prescribe medication which will fuck you since the pharmaceutical industry is not geared around fixing problems. However the way media portrays it is basically being talked at and being told exactly what is wrong. When I reality any therapist that did this would either not get any business, get fired, or get their ass kicked.

>>220861393
I am good at following instructions.
>fuck you
I start fucking her.
But seriously I don't complain about anything and I always take responsibility and I never seek recognition. Plus I don't have a job or a wife. I am optimistic about the direction my world is heading.

Simply this.
Their purpose is to keep the customer coming back with more to whine about. It's like they say about the pharmaceutical industry: there's no profit in curing diseases.

>>220862556
>SHE is a hack therapist.
The movie made her our to be some badass girlboss though that put him in his place.

>>220863354
No, she had a spaz attack, and instantly backed down after saying this, once she realized she was in danger. The movie ends with her totally at the mercy of the secret organization monitoring the backrooms, with no indication that she'll escape, or even live much longer.

What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building in there?

>>220861479
How therapists have any respect in 2026 is beyond me. Wake up.Let's hear like seriously mentally disabled, like you need a speech.Therapist, or you're rain man, they're pretty much pointless

What’s the point of his character? He’s a failed alcoholic who makes excuses. Okay. That’s a real type of person, sure, but it’s not automatically interesting just because it’s realistic.

Is the movie trying to say something about alcoholism or people dodging responsibility? Because it doesn’t really land that way. It just feels oddly specific and disconnected.

And what does any of this have to do with the Backrooms? The drama is fine, but the setting should actually matter to his character. You’d think the Backrooms would force him to face himself or turn into some twisted therapy thing. Instead, he just wanders in there as a messed-up alcoholic, and the place becomes a way for him to escape. That’s basically it. The connection feels weak.

Guy literally did nothing wrong. He paid and supported his wife and she left him. Why is he the bad guy? Why did he deserve to go crazy and get eaten by a monster because of that?

>>220861522
Not every therapist is a great therapist. I needed someone to listen to some of the more batshit things that come out of my mouth and challenge them without outright dismissing them. That was a hard tightrope to walk for a lot of people, but my dude figured out pretty quickly I appreciate transparency. He's helped me confront some of my more deep seated cognitions by asking questions you'd normally keep to one self. I think a big one was asking "What kind of god do you think you are?" Pretty sure his intent was to get me to pause and think, "Oh...he's implying I have a god complex. Control is clearly a big thing for you, and it's spiraled into something bigger." Instead I replied "A benevolent one." Def had questions for myself after that.

Most people already know what's wrong with them or their lives. They just refuse to admit it because then they'd have to do something they know they wont like to fix it. Often the only people they talk to are the ones who they think might think less of them or who are directly involved with the problem in the first place. A therapist is suppose to be an outside observer who can tell you what you often already know. They can confirm it and tell you what to do to make it better, which you likely already knew. Often people simply need someone else to give them permission to do the hard thing. They just need someone else to say there is no other choice. Its different hearing it from someone else. It confirms it

>>220861522
It is having an unbiased person listen to your issues and try to help you see the root of the issues. That is why they ask you lots of questions and let you talk so they can let you get out what you are holding back. Then instead of going 'you have anger issues' they lead you into a series of questions that make you realize it before they ever say it. And it isn't like the person is stupid and doesnt realize they get angry, but they may not realize their anger is coming from somewhere else and not realize their anger is causing problems in their life. Of course it is up to the person to solve their problems. A therapist only brings those problems to light and make recommendations. Like how a doctor tells you to go on a diet, but its up to the person to go on a diet.

>>220861522
>mental problems such as depression can only be cured from the inside by the afflicted
Its a balance between internal and external, recognising maladaptive beliefs and then engaging in activity such as sports/gym/socializing

>>220861500
Unironically this is why YouTube therapists actually give the best advice, especially if they're ex-practice, they have distilled reoccurring themes and patterns from their patients and then packaged up the workable, proven solutions and approaches into advice and roadmaps for the general audiences understanding.

yes, idiots paid around $20 to watch a schizo-nig run around in an empty building. when he's not doing that, he's getting others to join him in the misery. and now we have to see 3+ threads about it here on /tv/. if i never went to /tv/ at all i would never hear about these stupid movies and waste my limited time commenting on how they're stupid.

Its the "emotional cumshot" forced into every film and play. Once you see it you can never unsee it.

The writers wrote the whole story to get to the "cumshot" scene where a character speaks their mind and the audience is super impressed and nod respectfully.
