Venting Therapy Is Retarded

[LoveIsTheKing]

After a long, bullshit "recovery" journey, I have come to this conclusion: I was scammed. Sure, if you have mild to moderate anxiety, depression, maybe BPD- congrats! You can get help. But for the rest of us treatment resistant , broken motherfuckers? It's a money pit run by barely-educated numbskulls that love the smell of their own farts. I've wasted my time, my money, my soul. It's completely useless. When faced with real, raw, mind-bending trauma, these fuckers do nothing but "hold space." Quit holding my space, you potato. It didn't give consent. The clinicians I've dealt with? Their degrees are participation trophies. And they hardly participate. Not in reality. So fuck it, right? Who's with me?

I'm sorry you wasted money on it in the first place. I don't need anyone to tell me what's "wrong" i know what i am where I'm going and what I'm doing. Therapy is like paying for friends. Except its like £80 an hour and sll they tell you is to try harder. As if I've not been trying hard my entire Satan bless it life. Just go out and exercise more! make friends! Eat healthier! It's easier said than done.

Therapy is like paying a stranger hundred of dollars to tell u things u can say to yourself in the bathroom mirror. I can't stand them, especially the pseudo sympathy they give you, or pretending to be your friend.

thanks! yeah, I agree. I've been eating way healthier and socializing. Next step is getting back into my exercise routine. But today I surrender, throwing caution to the wind with my empty calories of beer and a heart full of "fuck-it"s

note: I realize the "eat better exercise and make friends" comment was probably sardonic. But I'm looking for a slightly better life before I kms and doing these things has helped more than therapy. Not a drastic difference, I'm just looking for a slightly better quality of life before I kms. I mean, somebodies gonna stumble across my fat corpse. lol!

Shit was so fucking useless oh my god. The therapist I had straight up told me "oh why don't you just.. do your work?" Oh REALLY now?

Paying a therapist and expecting them to truly "care" about you is like paying a sex worker and expecting them to "love" you.
Half of them challange everything you say and think all your issues are caused by "thinking wrong and not trying hard enough", the other half sounds empathetic and kind, but their support only lasts 1 hour per week at a crazy price. Not to mention the "tools, coping skills and worksheets" they give you are all crap you can get from a 10 min google search. The only people who can benefit from a therapist are those with very mild anxiety/depression.

Agreed my therapist introduced himself like a salesman he said "12 sections is all you need by the end you will have the tools needed to fix your problems" obviously i it was a nope for me but my mother insisted to take the 12 week program, all i did was some kind of puzzle games and my therapist praising me for knowing a lot of stuff asociated with my condition, i was a step ahead he said like ok thats nice but you should be way ahead of me you the professional so you telling me the internet is more useful than a "professional" who bragged he studied under some well recognized psychotherapist, we didn't even used the most basic of cognitive behavioral therapy i finished the program with nothing i didn't knew before, just gonna say this after my attempt a resident doctor helped me more with casual answers to some of my doubts i had and his area was orthopedic meanwhile my therapist will answer those questions like if it were some riddles i was supposed to decipher

Yeah, unapologetically throwing slurs around really is insufferable.
