They don’t like it when you tell them everything.
They’re just there to get you off the ledge and back into the stuff that got put you on the ledge.
Unless you’re loaded with unlimited billable hours, then honey, lets get you some catharsis! What does fulfillment look like to you?

this reads like a criticism of society worded as a criticism of individuals
because “therapists will only provide therapy for as long as they receive money for it” is a weird take to thrust upon people who still need money to eat food to survive
“therapists will only provide therapy for as long as they receive money for it”
I see no lie.
right, and the fact that said therapists need money to survive is not a critique of those individuals, but of society
what’s your point?

You aren’t wrong. I also won’t fix your computer for free, no matter how old or helpless you are.
Just because Capitalism has made you a monster doesn’t mean we all must be beasts.
And many therapist will lower their rate and otherwise find ways to support clients as much as possible
i think it’s great that some therapists are willing to go to those lengths to support those people that need it
but expecting this from them is unfortunately unreasonable
Totally agree
“Have you considered that you may be too depressed for therapy,” and, “EMDR is more for singular trauma. You have too many for this to work,” are my absolute wins in therapy.
I have since retired to the medication-only league where I continue my victorious march toward death by defeating round after round of big pharma’s scientists.
Witness me.
I really wish that my therapists would just get to that point. They keep trying the same shit over and over again that ends up not working and, in some cases, has made things work. I’ve given up. Really wish they would too.
Never to late too jump ship and find a new therapist. I know that process sucks, but finding someone that gets you and can validate you makes all the difference. Drop this turd.
In some cases, has made things work.
I hope I’m helping
I’ve won therapy every time. It doesn’t take much to figure out the two options are 1. Get my shit and sort it out or 2. Take drugs(but the legal ones).
I think per OP winning therapy means to get the therapist into depression. In you case the therapy won.
My therapist straight told me she has therapy to cope with my therapy.
It felt like a joke but I’ve always wondered 👀
It’s true. All therapists are required to take therapy.
Can you imagine the sort of shit therapist therapists hear? Like, it’s gotta be the absolute worst of the worst. Do you think they have their own therapist therapist therapists they can talk to?
I’ve always wondered who massages the masseuse?
During mating season, they gather and form massage circles.
It’s masseuses all the way down.
Wait it’s all masseuses?

Always has been
F. Mine cried in the middle of a therapy session where I was talking through a traumatic experience that contributed to my emotional unavailability and detachment. I felt like a turtle shrinking back into its shell after taking a peek outside.
Well now I wanna hear it so I can see if I identify with it
Dont share shit like this. You’re not cool for having a sad life. Dont glorify it like this.
Yeah, bottle it up and deal with it like a man! Keep all the bad stuff and keep it out of sight and only let it come to the surface when drunk or talking in your sleep.
ITT, somebody assumes that EVERYBODY must cope like they do.
no. Its just that some coping mechanisms are wrong
For a lot of people part of dealing with difficult stuff is laughing and finding the humor and irony of it when you can.
The OPs replies to this thread do not have humor and irony though. In a broad sense you are right, in this instance it’s just sad imo.

Yesterday I explained something so bleak to my therapist she asked me if we could pause for a minute so she could think about it. I’m getting close to winning therapy I can feel it in my bones.

I just want to back up that I can’t actually find anything about this happening, so please don’t take my word for it. I May have been misinformed
Well then don’t fucking post unsubstantiated rumors lol
I originally had a source for my claim, dug into it more to be sure, could not back up the veracity, made comment, figured out how to delete original on memmy.
Thanks for double checking. I dub thee: Super Homie
Haha, I politely decline, I’m just a regular ass goober who tries real hard to not be an uninformed asshole; I’ve got like a 50% win rate going

I had a therapist quit on me after the first day because she said she “wasn’t prepared to deal with my kind of issues.”
I feel like that should be a bad sign, but I just internalized it as “I defeated my therapist. Nice.”
