What's your opinion on therapy

I thought it was pathetic "paying for someone to care" when I was a kid (saw lots of therapists between 15-18 bc the school necessitated it, two suicide attempts at two different high schools), and all therapists ever did was teach me breathing exercises, talk about what's new and stressful in my life and how I plan to cope with it. We've never discussed my fundamental nihilism that esp existed before I had ghost experiences or believed in astrology. (I didn't believe till I was like 24 and came here) We never discussed my social impairments that led me to believe I'll never be married. (Inb4 "you won't bc you're too ugly") We never discussed the fact that I had sought this relationship with a physically, sexually and financially abusive man when I was 15 and he was 18. They were just like "it's your fault, you can leave, it's legal in this state, just practice socializing w/o manipulating people into friendship via suicide attempts".

I got out of the psych ward early the first time by lying and saying it was "purely histrionic". I got out of rehab the second time early by answering every question with "I'm fine, nothing new". I graduated rehab severely anorexic weighing 85 lbs. They were like "not our problem, we deal w addiction"

I went back to therapy through EAP in 2022 by choice, after I had great insurance and benefits I wanted to make the most of them, having never had insurance before. I've had the same therapist ever since. I thought she was an idiot bc she would give me horrible advice like "sue the fortune 500 company you work at" & tell me about her own problems half our early sessions (she was also a teen mom, & I'm kind of traumatized by that demographic) but I couldn't leave her bc she liked me sm & bc she looks like Alexandra daddario. When I ran out of the 5 free annual sessions, I stopped seeing her, then March '24 I was put on mental health leave from work and hit her up again just so she'd give me a reference to go back. She loved me and complied, and eventually has won me over although she thinks I'm kind of a hoe who needs my coworkers approval to a retarded degree. She really won me over when she said "my in-laws are POS Christians" and I had never said a word about Christians 😂 she just made that assumption correctly lmao. Now we meet like once every month and a half for 5-15 mins and just riff. I pay $ 50 for it. When I started DBT here she's like "watch out if your therapist is a woman, yk how those bitches are."

I don't like my DBT therapist who I see weekly bc she's kind of controlling with no sense of humor and says "ahhhh" in a condescending coo-voice any time I trauma dump, like my mom does. I hate the tinniness of that sound, about to be rude and ask her to not. Rn we've been spending sessions reading a packet about the history of DBT. She's $ 60/session.

Straight up I've never had a therapist who I thought intelligence-mogged me. All my psychiatrists did though, I love my current one, she's a sassy bitch. My therapist who I like (Shelly) was born in December, I'll have to find out her chart & our synastry. She bad

Basically I think the value of therapy is that they try to steer you in the right direction, and sometimes it empowers you to take their advice. Like when she advised me not to try to smash my friend Katie's recent ex-fiance

Baby girl, I really cry reading this. This is so awful what you went thru and even more awful you never had chance to find help in field that should help you.

I do agree that system is broken, even tho we live in two different countries it's same problem in Poland - we lack of professional help. Either there is no specialist or the one that pit there their missed with profession.

I went thru few therapies, including medical therapy and the only reason I don't do it anymore is because I basically don't have money for that.



I'm coming from disfunctional family (both parents alcoholic) and went thru very rough postpartum depression. The fact I'm still alive is kinda miracle because I did had few moment when I was close to end my life.

Do I believe therapy helps? In some ways yes ins some no. But you really lucky if you come upone real professionals. If not it can cause even more trauma and deepen your problems

that DBT therapist is a scam wtf reading about the history of DBT

therapy did not really help me. they are not allowed to tell you their own opinion and stay as objective as possible which imo doesn't help if you are looking for an outsider perspective. it may be like a last resort for ppl since therapists are paid to listen but sometimes they don't care.

That's why I love Shelly sm although our sessions are extremely unorthodox and would be professionally frowned upon lmao

I love an opinionated mean woman

😔😔

ime listening to male gemini gurus have been pretty therapeutic for me especially matthew hussey like srsly that man does women a SERVICE

also cap and taurus women literal YT lectures about LVM vs HVM

Sorry for what you both went through Mid and Aqua ❤️🥹😔

I believe in therapy. I’d a great psychotherapist from NJ ~ (Cancer sun, Scorpio rising, incredibly compassionate and intuitive). She helped me let go of a relationship that wasn’t healthy for which I’m more than grateful. I do however think talking therapies can only take us so far and I prefer energy/body work, ie shamanism, reiki, regression therapy etc which help move stuff from the body which we hold onto.

I’m sorry you went through that. I feel like I can relate in some ways. I’ve had pretty horrible experiences with mental health providers. For background my family was involved in a lot of criminal activity. A local ‘mob’ type deal. I’ve seen a lot of things I wasn’t supposed to see.

The provider I saw around age 13 ended up losing his license. He was deemed unqualified to treat children. He was a fat sexist bastard.

Then I saw a woman in my early 20s who was pretty useless but she asked to hug me at the end of every session so I felt like I was responsible for her feelings 🥴

Then I saw another guy who was $ 400 a visit. This was the only time I was like fuhk it Im just going to lay it all out for someone finally. It was a mistake. I don’t regret doing it but I don’t think he was qualified to help me.

Last one was a woman. She laughed during the session while I was going into details about one of the worst things I’ve seen. I questioned whether I was okay with that because I laugh at traumatic things as a coping mechanism but I decided she wasn’t allowed to laugh at it. I ghosted her.

At this point I’m not really sure what they’re going to help me with or what I even hope to gain from it. I don’t drink or engage in any unhealthy addictions. Nothing is affecting my quality of life. I’m high functioning and I just have a morbid sense of humor.

Oh except I suppress my emotions which is an asset in my job actually. I just date air Venus so we can suppress our emotions together

I fucked my therapist.

@pilatesbod thanks for sharing, that's amazing that you went through so much childhood overexposure/trauma and toughed it out in your own. You're Aries sun/Pisces stellium? I agree that it's the worst when you lay it all out for someone who wasnt worth the effort. That's why I aspire to write my comic book memoir so I can print copies and hand them around when my history is queried upon. Also I feel you about a bitch who laughed at your suffering. That happened to me in rehab when I talked about my experience hanging myself. It was a lady in her 50s named Carole who loved vaudeville. But that was a nonprofit rehab with mainly court-ordered patients (therefore subhuman)

I've done therapy, and it helped me. I needed a third party involved to get my head straight.

While we were fostering our adopted son, he was going to therapy per the state.

The therapists we saw, while I'm sure had good intentions, were useless as fuck. Once we had him on our private insurance, we took him to actual psychologists and psychiatrists and they were all basically like "LOL no don't do that therapist shit".

I went through a lot of bullsht too growing up, so many horrifying things because of idiots and just like you I was able to know and finish other people's sentences before hearing them say it...



I went through more difficult things and moments 5 years ago that changed my life..

That only my family knows


I haven't told anyone everything..


My life is full of pain, negativity and losses... and I don't deserve any of these things


I was always the passive, quiet, calm, understanding, "nice" and logical kid..


Last year I started reading about psychology more and learn more about psychology, all my life I was logical and growing up going to a psychologist meant you were stupid / crazy / insane mentally.. the medias like tv, people and radio were already brainwashing us with this topic



- are you going to see a psychologist? Hell noo... Only stupid people do that duhhhh....


( A.k.a. READ : open minded, mature, Responsible and sensitive people)



People were bullies lol



Today I follow 50 people on Instagram and 48 of them are psychologist, personal development gurus / mentors, doctors and stuff like that..

2 other people is my dad and mother lol

I love how invested you are in your emotional health rn. This tiktoker Dan hentschel was my first thought in regards to remarkable social media psychologists-- he's fatalistic in a way I need to hear, satire but not. I used to hate fatalism in my early twenties but learned to embrace it for better or worse

You are obviously a kind person. The world probably doesn't deserve you

Is it the 13 June?


If yes,

Well, that means you are a 13!! Not a 4!


You are so lucky, that's actually a very positive number but can destroy yourself too if not used properly, sorry



This is what Linda goodman said about the number 13:


13

Regeneration--Change

13 is not an unlucky number, as many people believe. The ancients claimed that "he who understands how to use the number 13 will be given power and dominion." The symbol of 13 is a skeleton, or death, with a scythe reaping down men in a field of new-grown grass, where young faces and heads appear to be thrusting through the ground and emerging on all sides. 13 is a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It's associated with power, which, if used for selfish purpose, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for negative. 13 is associated with genius--also--with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds. If you were born on the 13th day of any month--or should the Compound Key Number of your name be 13--you'll need to read carefully the section of this chapter related to the numbers 4 and 8, beginning on Page 211.




I was born the 29 September, I'm a 29

It's a mix of HORRIBLE and very good 😢😅😆


I'm going to share what it says and a video about my path but you don't have to read or watch the rest of my comment.




The 29 is a number of perhaps the heaviest Karma of all. It tests the

person or entity it represents for spiritual strength, through trials

and tribulations echoing the Old Testament story of Job. The life is

filled with uncertainties, treachery, and deception from others,

unreliable friends, unexpected dangers - and considerable grief and

anxiety caused by members of the opposite sex. It's a number of grave

warnings in every area of the personal life and career. When 29 is the

Compound Key Number of the name, it's obvious that the spelling of the

name should be changed to lift this difficult vibration, unless one is a

masochist.


If 29 is the birth number, and thereby unavoidable, conscious effort

must be made to dilute and eventually to negate, neutralise, or erase

this karmic burden. It can, to a great extent, be eased by choosing a

new name (or spelling) with a strong positive Compound Key Number.

Further than this, the person born on the 29th day of any month should

do everything advised in Chapter 4 of "Star Signs" (sorry).


In the specific instance of the 29 vibration (bringing with it the

secondary vibration of 11, which should also be read regarding the way

to relieve the karmic burden) - remember that the development of

absolute faith in goodness and the power of the Self... the constant and

energetic cultivation of optimism... will act as a miraculous medicine

for the problems of the number 29.


After all, Lob's burdens were finally lifted, when he had learned to

accept full responsibility for his troubles, and not to blame others or

seek revenge for the hurts he suffered. Not only did his long bad-luck

streak end at last, he was given back everything he'd lost, several

times over. So, if you were born on the 29th, change the vibration

of your name to a powerful number, such as 19, follow Job's example, and

soon you'll be as happy as - or happier than - anyone else.

Interestingly, the name "Job" equals the powerful Compound Number 10 - a

difficult vibration to defeat.





#29 is similar to the life of Job in the Bible:

Yes, im the 13th. I wish you luck navigating this life path, I'm sure you'll be rewarded in the next life. 🩷

Well I think therapy works for people who hit an issue in their lives and the therapist helps them get over it. But there has to be a fundamental base that the client can get back to. So the therapist helps them navigate the storm and then it's back to reasonable weather

If I got this right, you have borderline personality disorder? In which case there is no fundamental solid base to get back to. From reading your history it's all unstable, one way or another. So then I think traditional "therapy" won't have much effect

I think it probably works but I have never commited fully to it. Your synastry is going to matter big time.

I'd need someone on the same page as me.

Insightful shit from my gem brother. Brilliant. I'll retain this

I’ve had dull and superficial experiences with a few therapists. A friend who really needed therapy to sort things in her head had invested so much into it but it always didn’t work out for her. Either they’d eventually straight up tell her they can’t help her or they’d be unprofessional. I’ve personally had better luck with strangers on the internet as they had no reason not to be straight forward? I think many people who really need mental help are the ones who often don’t seek it at all. At this point I couldn’t pay someone to tell me what I know I should be doing when I’m intentionally choosing not to. I’m curious how I’d fare with a psychiatrist. I think most would be. I don’t need anything below high-functioning documented under my name with how the world is currently going. Energy/body work like MyStarsShine mentioned sounds so necessary right now in my life. I totally forgot those existed. I’m all for discovering different outlets. Ooh I found this great reiki & massage place. Definitely booking. Thanks y’all.

Interestingly, I found Shamanism a type of exorcism ~ a very powerful therapy which can help dispel any unwanted energies. I think it’d be helpful to most people who may have picked up on dark transference.

I think I could have strongly benefitted from therapy as a child, but my father saw it as unnecessary, weak, and that he provided a wonderful childhood. Then again, I’m sure I would have ended up in foster care if I had.

I’ve had a lot of shit to heal from, that should have started decades ago, and had some baaad therapist over the years. I finally met one that I really liked but she abruptly went on leave of absence earlier this year and never came back.

I’m suppose to start a new therapist this Saturday, and I also recently did a couples therapy for the first time over a persisting issue.

Overall I’m still on the fence about it, but open to it. It really 1000% depends on finding the right therapist. If you have any kind of psych disorder/episodes that cause a detachment from reality, then they can help you work through those and ground yourself. That’s a very important skill or you just get lost in the noise and thoughts. Sometimes I wonder if I am manipulating the therapist to my own perception of reality though, unknowingly. I don’t think that medication is the solution to everything either. Idk it’s hard and emotionally exhausting navigating it all

Yes at the police academy fr fr

I have not ever tried it, but I see how people pay too much attention to it, so it became sort of religion. I also see how therapists themselves try to resist this trend and emphasize that to get a tattoo (see meme below) can be more healing and therapeutic than therapy. Or a style consultation. Or dancing. Or anything else. As they say, "Therapy for life, not life for therapy".

The problem is ya think you need therapists but y'all need exorcisms

I paid $ 500 for one on fiverr from an "ordained Catholic priest" back in '22 but my Pisces ex made me cancel the order & get it refunded
The Catholic Church monopolizes exorcisms, and a proper exorcist isnt easy to come by around these parts

I have not ever tried it, but I see how people pay too much attention to it, so it became sort of religion. I also see how therapists themselves try to resist this trend and emphasize that to get a tattoo (see meme below) can be more healing and therapeutic than therapy. Or a style consultation. Or dancing. Or anything else. As they say, "Therapy for life, not life for therapy".

Real. I call it cathartic punishment. I don’t know what it’s really called or if it has a name. I think it’s people who drink extra dirty gin martinis. They’re certainly not drinking it for the taste 🤣 they want something bitter and aggressive to punish themselves.

Hmm?

Using physical pain or punishment to process or purge emotional pain. Or just redirect that energy that you don’t know what to do with.

@nanochip tysm for sharing ♥️ did you reconcile w the Pisces? Couples counseling sounds like a wonderful thing. My sister did premarital counseling. Lamectal has changed my life. I hope you like your new therapist and that Cap moon is fkn rough. I'm glad you've become so profoundly successful and independent, and I hope your life is peaceful 🩷

Thank you! Yes, we are trying to work through it all. He’s here currently and we will continue those sessions every other week for awhile. I was assessed a long time for BPD - I have no peace in romantic relationships. Sabotage and destruction, but also some bad choices in partners when I was young, so it’s complicated. How much of that is my own issues or is it reactivity to toxic situations and relationships? Very difficult to diagnose. The only real peace I have is with myself, when I’m single lol. I’d like to speak with you privately about your experience/ask some questions if you’re up for it!

I worked so hard to get to where I am but now I wish that I can just quit and own a bookstore or coffee shop or dog daycare or something. Something I enjoy…. and simple. I guess that desire has exposed itself as I age. But I would miss my salary too much. Have too much student loans to pay off, stuff like that.

me too, he's the only guy i trust in that era too 🥰🥰

Looks like DXP thinks therapys unhelpful bc we're based and redpilled, unlike those sissy redditors & mean women on LSA 💀

(That wasnt sarcasm, literally on those 2 sites the answer everyone gets is "seek therapy". Then OP says "I'm already in therapy" so they respond "well double up your sessions")

I think therapy is great for anyone who feels they need it. Self care should include mental health. Live your best life and do not care what others say.


I had two bad experiences as a 12-13 year old and I've not attempted therapy since then because of it.


Both were focused on family therapy.


1. I pissed off my mom and dad so bad that they left the session and went home....without me. lol. I ended up at an emergency foster home for a few days because they absolutely refused to deal with me.


My parents wanted everyone to think they were perfect parents and when I talked about not so perfect parenting examples from them, they couldn't handle it. After they allowed me to come back home, they never went to another therapy session with me.


2. After that, in one of my one-on-ones, my therapist quit mid-session. Therapy became a manipulation game after the experience with my parents. I wanted to see how far I could push these adults before they gave up because I felt all adults were full of shit at that point.


If I were to commit to therapy again, my therapist would have to be able to see thru my bullshit or I would probably be triggered to do the same thing because of those past experiences.

That's pitiful of every adult mentioned, I'm genuinely angry and disgusted on your behalf. Kind of solidifies that many who find themselves in therapy intelligence-mog their therapists. Bunch of divas. It reminds me of this psych student I trained with my first day at my day job, we were talking and i mentioned my history of suicide attempts/social estrangement and how my poor self-image led me to want to strip when I moved here and I was sad that my sister didn't support it. In context, her friend had just started a conversation about wanting to pick up chicks at the gay bar. (So I thought it was appropriate to talk about clubs)

I get that that's idiotic of me to say to a 20 year old on my first day of work. I'm an oversharer, irl it's much safer for everyone not to swindle me into conversation. But not only did this psych student snitch on me for making her uncomfortable, a week later a random coworker id never spoken to before on a different shift than her approached me and said "those students arent your friends. They are spreading your personal business all around the kitchen, a guy heard about it and wanted me to tell you since he feels bad".

Reading this back I sound like such a creep lol I understand if you don't empathize, but it cemented my belief that highfalutin snobs are drawn to psychology out of a sense of superiority.
