That is one shitty therapist

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Lots of shit therapists out there.
A friend of mine, his ex-wife's therapist encouraged her to have an affair. An old highschool fling reached out to her, and she was essentially perpetually stuck in highschool due to some intense trauma around that age. Therapist said to go for it.
Always look at a potential spouse's friends before getting married. Do they cheat, slack off, and just generally kind of suck? Your spouse-to-be will almost certainly follow their example. I say this because most people's "therapist" are their friends and if their friends are maladjusted assholes you can probably expect more of the same.
I had the exact same conversation with mine, when I was 20.
It's hard to believe that you'll have a better experience elsewhere, especially when you have already spent hundreds of € on that one.
Say no to therapists, say yes to callgirls. They charge less too.
When your therapist is trying to trick you into labelling yourself an incel.

Well, yes, what did you expect?
Men: never go to a female therapist, they will NEVER be able to understand you from a man’s perspective. All they see is abundance, with men chasing them and paying attention to them, and will never understand how few choices those men in the bottom-80% are left with.
Uhh Ohh
I feel like I need to say that if this was your experience you had a really shit therapist and deserve better. I've felt like this with a therapist before and it's terrible. It's ok to drop a therapist over this and try a different one.
Seem like just opening up to a friend and them questioning things. Doesn't sound like a proper therapist.
betterhelp ahh therapist
You can actually say "ass" here, btw.
Fuckin' mainstream social media-ass comment.
My bet is this is fake. A large part of incel groups is making sure no one seeks help, so they stay longer. If you demonize therapists then that's one more path to then existing removed.
Find a better therapist. Just because someone goes to school and gets a professional credential doesn't mean they don't suck at their job.
Why talk to a professional when I can simply talk to my very normal, very mentally healthy anons on the green text site?
Even if they aren't bad at their job, someone who doesn't have enough similarity of life experience to have a basic understanding of what you're going through could be a bad fit anyway.
Probably fake, but a therapist should never say anything like that. I'm in my 30's and a virigin, and no doctor, therapist, etc., has ever asked me anything close to that. And if they did, I'd be searching for a new therapist. Wouldn't even finish the session.
Uncle in therapy for second nervous breakdown. Therapist tells aunt that hell be a dead weight aroind her neck. Tells him to go fishing - he hates fishing. This was a recommended therapist from a good GP.
Another family member with past addiction and suicide attempts went to a different GP seeking therapy. Was told by the GP humans have been to the moon and can do anything so stop being so depressed. Wtf does that even mean.
Shitty people are in every profession.
“Nelson Mandela stopped racism in South Africa decades ago, so cheer up!”
The older ones tend to still think that way.
One of my previous psychiatrists got kicked out being the head of his department because he was using his position to lobby heavily to keep Asexuality in the the DSM.
Mine was 30 maximum, I was 20. It's not about age, it's about always getting what you wanted when you wanted it; then you don't understand how it might not work like that for others.
Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I've ever heard a therapist say.
I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
What's the weather like in 1825?
Sadly it was only 4 years ago. But Iowa does feel like that sometimes.
On today's episode of Bullshit That Never Happened...
As someone who’s had a uh… not great experience with mental health care, this story is totally believable to me.
She thinks you’re hot anon. Bang your therapist
Either:
- boink therapist
- complain to professional body that therapist tried to seduce you
I had a therapist that eventually deemed me too dangerous to myself to be in their care, so she upgraded me to super-therapy where I have to go like 9 hours a week and work with a group and like 5 therapists but I still don't get much value out of it :c so yeah, therapy definitely isn't for everyone
sounds like you got bumped up to a higher level of care. are you in IOP? that's quite standard, especially for someone struggling severely but doesn't want to go to inpatient
some therapists freak out a bit over suicide risk a bit much, but there's a good chance that their recommendation was justified and the right call. I recommend talking about your frustration with your original therapist if possible, or just your favorite of the 5 if not.
I hope you're getting a lot of good skills
sounds like providing good therapy isn't for every therapist
level of care determinations are an important part of therapy. let's not just bandwagon here.
No, that therapist is. There are shitty people in every profession.
This is a good opportunity to ask why sex work is still illegal (unless you're rich ofc) in the US.
We could basically end the incel phenomenon and deal a huge blow to the sex slavery trade overnight (and for very little cost to taxpayers or society) by making sex work legal and bringing it into daylight.
