>tfw telling your therapist about /r9k/
Therapist thread, get in here le damaged individuals. Tell us about your therapist, is she qt?
>paying money just to have someone pretend to care about you
stop
i won't stoop that low
i'd rather be alone
at least with a prostitute you can hold hands and she'll suck your cock
people tell me to go to one I'm probably agoraphobic but I don't want to see anyone outside so I don't.

>thanks obama . . . but I would've rather had a job, a gf, and a future than one hour with a 70 year old psychologist once a week.
>>25191601
First therapist outright told me by 6th meeting that she couldn't help me.
Pyschiatrist is also visibly disappointed in me,
Family already regards me as a disappointment.
Batting 1000.
Had one for a few months in high school, she was my moms ex-student and an old lesbian, I never liked her and she never took me seriously. I still think she talked to my mom about things I told her without my knowing, but who knows.
>>25191615
>stoop that low

you are full of shit

>>25191740
I can only open up to women age 18-40
go to psychiatrist complaining about extreme anxiety causing my heart to race all the time.
he tells me to exercise.
get sort of aggressive and have an outburst that i want my heart to stop racing all the time and getting exercise is just going to make it go faster and won't help at all. plead with my eyes.
get prescribed benzos. ez.
stopped going to him after a while bc he was just a glorified drug dealer and the benzos i was eating my script for the month within a few days and i knew it was going to be worse for me in the end.
I don't want to fuck up my brain with medicine but it's already fucked up to begin with. I don't know what to do. I just want someone to talk to.
>>25191601
whats therapist do you mean?
psychologist?
its a complete meme, dumb talking change nothing and cannot treat memtal illnesses.
psychiatrist is a real doctor
I went to a therapist in highschool, she literally moved to a different city without telling us the next appointment and the army psychiatrist I went to told me to just b myself.
Fuck this gay earth.
>>25191776
no
you are full of shit aswell
you are just too afraid to tell another man you have issues because that means you are weak in your retarded world
suffer well idiot
>therapist
stop
>>25191836
>in your retarded world
Someone seeing a therapist has a fucked up point of view, good deduction Vladimir
>>25191796
This is why I'm seeing a therapist. Medicine terrifies me, I don't want to ingest shit that alters my personality and makes me a different person. I don't want to be some pill zombie I still want to be me. Being able to talk about my problems with someone who is great at giving advice and amazing at pretending she gives a shit about me has actually really helped me. It's as close as I'll ever get to a friend and I cherish that.
>>25191796
>I just want someone to talk to.
You're more likely to find someone who truly cares, even if not much, by continuing to vent anonymously, rather than paying someone.
>>25191865
So did you explicitly say "I don't want to take medicine" and they respect that? Or do you just tiptoe around things that would get you on a prescription.
Reframing is too fucking hard, like I'm in control of my thoughts, you can't change them on a whim like what the fuck. The therapist is looking down on you, I don't like it
>>25191601
I'm in med school, going for psychiatry. I like these threads because they give me ideas of what to do or not to do when I get a fellow robot or some equivalent in the future.
>>25191601
>his therapist is a she
>>25191894
>The therapist is looking down on you, I don't like it
well then don't pay to have someone to look up at
>therapist
/r9k/ really is full of faggots.
I didn't want to believe it, but apparently it's true.
I wish I could go see a therapist but I'm extremely private and the idea of telling my secrets to someone who probably doesn't really relate or care seems ridiculous
>>25191601
he's 30 and plays video games a little which we can kind of bond over
he has an MSW from UNC but i have no idea where that ranks on the "being good at being a therapist" scale
talking to him makes me feel better every time
i've never missed an appointment, and he says i'm the only patient who's done that all year
he's really the only physical friend i have and that hurts so much because i know he's not really my friend
>>25191915
Haha totally right! Let's just wallow in our misery and roll around in it until we fucking blow our brains out at 28 (if we make it that long!)
I've been seeing the school counselor for a while and for me, it actually helps to talk out my problems since I always bottle up my emotions and try to handle everything on my own.
The health center gave me 20mg prozac but it didn't do shit. I became suicidal a week ago so she sent me to a psych ward. Being there actually helped me and they upped the dose up to 40mg prozac and 150mg welbutrin. Not liking the side effects so far but it's keeping my mood stable for now
>>25191882
Yeah. That's not to say that she hasn't made a couple cases for how beneficial medicine can be for me, but she's told me she respects my wishes and she doesn't want to push it on me if I don't want it. I'm not sure the problems you're having but just solely therapy has been pretty helpful for me so far, on top of the relief of getting to vent and talk about your problems
>>25191758
She cares about giving false hope to losers so she can keep getting paid. Therapy is a meme.
>>25191836

Some therapists do this too because they have mental issues.
>>25192059
>Men aren't allowed to have feelings?
Of course not, this your first day on the fucking planet or something
>>25192015
this is going to sound mental but i don't think i could ever talk to a therapist or something about my hobbies, even if they're innocuous
it's like, you don't really care about what i enjoy
if i accidentally say i like a certain band or something you're gonna write it down on your little paper and bring it up every time i come because you want me to open up and be happy when it's only going to fucking make me more awkward

If you're going to a therapist it might as well be a dude. Most women therapists know jack shit about men's problems.
>>25192059
>Men aren't allowed to have feelings?
Real men bottle it up deep, deep down inside. until they're alone. Then it's ok to analyze where you fucked up and then fix it.
You shouldn't stress other people out with your own problems like a woman.

If you actually have a serious problem that doesn't seem to have any solution, the gender is irrelevant. Whether it's a man or a woman, they don't have any special skills or insight that will change your circumstances. The best they can do is tell you that you can have a different perspective/outlook and accept things you can't change or some other useless nonsense.
THERAPY IS A MEME
It's false hope/optimism for miserable people.

>she probably thinks I'm immature and pathetic
>she knows about all my weird humiliation fetishes that stem from my shitty upbringing
she's really nice and is always sympathetic but I want her to challenge me more. I want her to take me out of my comfort zone and make me see things from another perspective. I just want her to lead the conversations instead of me. She just lets me ramble and stumble over my words until I'm apologizing. If she would challenge me more then I think she'd be perfect but she's still great and definitely helps a lot to have someone to talk to
>>25192091
Not sure what part sounds mental, you're right on the money tbqh senpai.
I used to be the same but the loneliness seems to have won and it's quite nice talking about Pokemon with her. She knows enough to understand what I'm saying (She brought her DS to show me her team) so that's good enough for me to delude myself.
>>25192245
>She brought her DS to show me her team
see THIS is the part that just digs under my skin like a fucking parasite
i feel like i'm being treated like an autistic child
"heeeey anon, i know you said you like pokemon, so i brought my pokemon game!"
it's like FUCK. please just respect me
>>25192243

>all my weird humiliation fetishes that stem from my shitty upbringing
At least you're on the right track by blaming everyone else for your problems.
>>25192216
Winners understand losers better than losers do. They don't have to relate, but they can see your situation from a place you can't. That's their insight. Here you're just stuck in the same rut as every other loser who can't offer you advice you haven't already heard.

Well it's therapy, there's no way you're not going to be looked down on.

okay, here's my next logical step moving forwards

no they are frustrated underaged children who was never loved by mommy so they ended up here acting tough
Were they counselors? psychologists? psychiatrists?
>>25192243
>>25192263
you honestly may be right. its covered by insurance luckily but i still feel like, besides having someone to vent to, i'm not getting much out of it. but maybe thats all i want, I dont want to make bitches want to suck my cock
>>25192265
well why else would i have them? they contribute to a lot of my low self esteem and anxiety. I know i'm a piece of shit on my own, but their have definitely been other people's contributions

This, except replace "became my only friend" with "she's a cute girl who listens to me and I'm fucking falling in love with her and she doesn't even care because I'm a neurotic loser and a paying client"
I'm pathetic. I'm pathetic. I'm fucking pathetic. If you're pathetic, don't get a young female therapist. Or you'll be fucked like me.
>>25192335
Even if she cares, she can't afford to show it. They will literally lose their entire careers and reputations if they step over the slightest boundaries with their feelings.

Don't worry, she never had feelings for him in the first place.
>>25192383
Yeah that's probably true but it helps knowing that even if she had feelings she couldn't tell him.
>>25192383
No shit. If I could make cute women my age have feelings for my just by talking to them, I wouldn't need a therapist at all.
>>25192290
Dude, you ate the "act like a REAL man" bait so hard, why do you take so much pride in this? You let someone else tell you how to act, you might get pussy for it but I refuse to be told who I need to be, I play by my own rules. You're a walking stereotype
>>25191700
did you just typo?
>>25191679
Undoubtably anon. You shouldn't have trusted her.
My therapist hot therapist told me I was good looking.
She also said that I am a great guy and any girl can be happy to be my girlfriend.
Another therapist told me I was attractive.
Should I believe them?
>>25192380
doesn't matter when none of them give a fuck about your existence
>>25192412
Actually, from my own experience and past mistakes, I've realized it's always a terrible idea to be straightforward in talking about your feelings.
Always.
>>25192439
i'm not saying you shouldn't believe them
but would they tell you if you were ugly?
>>25192440
It doesn't matter. They sit there for an hour and listen to me spill my guts out and engage me in conversation. That's enough for me.
Whether or not they actually give a damn once they leave that room does not matter to me.
I don't know if you know what it's like to have literally nobody to talk to, no supports or real friends in life, but it fucking sucks. Any affection is meaningful, even if it's just an open ear or a smile when they see you. It feels good. Makes me feel worthwhile for a little bit.
>>25192484
anon. i have no friends. no one to speak to
the first time it was nice. the second time was okay. the third time was getting annoying already with how little she remembered. then the constant shuffling back and forth was a surefire way to make me feel even more unwanted
i'd rather vent on 4chan and wait for my eventual suicide. i'd rather be completely isolated than be greeted with a lying smile
>>25192332
>tfw my therapist is now completely well versed in /r9k/ lingo
>drops phrases like "normies" and "wagecucks" in conversation
>>25192455
Care to explain why? Tell a grill you loved her only to have her use you, or something to that effect? You shouldn't be forced to obfuscate your intentions or feelings, sounds like you impose it on yourself.
Do therapists lie to you? Like do they tell unsympathetic people they are sympathetic to make their confidence go up?
>>25192563
>Tell a grill you loved her only to have her use you, or something to that effect?
lol no.
Talking about shit I've done and how I've felt in the past. Nothing good will ever come from it.
Move on with your life and stop dwelling on the past and insecurities.
>>25192575
hell yes they lie to people. maybe not what you said but my therapist lied to me about that type of stuff
fucking normie didn't know that my advanced people reading skills (developed by decades of seeing peoples immediate disgust by my existence) let me read right through her feeble attempt to build my confidence on a foundation of lies.
normies
>>25192456
Maybe that I get the balls to actually ask a girl out. They probably think as long as I mak ethe first move I will eventually get a girl even if I was ugly.
>>25192575
obviously they do
>>25192634
>as long as I mak ethe first move I will eventually get a girl even if I was ugly
well that's just a lie
not a lie specific to you, a lie about society on the whole
I once had an orgasm during a therapy session. I had just started taking an antipsychotic so maybe it was because of the medication. I just felt a really good feeling in my dick and then I felt liquid coming out of it. I didn't realize I cummed until after the session when I saw that my trousers were wet around my dick area. Damn, was that embarrassing. I hope that my therapist did not notice it or else I would die from embarrassment.
I've always been too embarrassed or nervous, but after this thread I think I'll look into therapy. If it sucks, I can always just not continue.
>tell therapist about my pessimistic antinatalist worldview.
>told I think too much
My parents are forcing me to see one. I don't think it's doing anything except wasting money desu, I already ran out of things to tell her.
I have my appointment later today and she asked me to come up with a "topic" to discuss in the session but I really don't know what to talk about nor do I feel a very compelling desire to open up to her, she's a stranger to me and makes me feel uncomfortable.
>>25193184
Aren't therapists supposed to lead the conversation if the client doesn't have anything to say?
>>25193205
that's how it usually goes, she asks me questions and I answer them
but it's always the same shit so I guess she told me that to vary a little bit
>>25193215
Talk about something you like, Anon. If I had a therapist I'd probably lead with a hobby I enjoy. That's something about you that you could have a detailed conversation about. Autism out a little bit if you feel up to it, it's your therapist after all, let them see you being you.
>>25192439
I think they're honest. Why didnt you date them or some of those things normies do when they want sex
>>25193301
>Why didnt you date them
Therapists are not allowed to date their clients.
>>25191675
I can just imagine it.

No, don't believe anything a therapist tells you. They would even say this to someone who is hideously deformed. They prioritize self-esteem and optimism over truth.
My therapist is a 33 year old woman who has anxiety and depression, which I find to be a good thing because it helps her relate to what I go through. She's kinda cute too. Really empathetic and warm-hearted, I really like her even if she can't really help me with my problems (not her fault though, I'm damaged goods)

Yeah she lied to me, saying that society values intelligent people and hard workers, then when I pointed out the popular alpha jock footballers, she changed her mind and agreed with me
>TFW psychiatrist is a family friend
>TFW you aren't prescribed anything that works because you're too worried that what you say will affect what people think of your successful family
It's been a decade, I think it's time for me to get a new psychiatrist
I wonder if I should go to one. I'm not sure if I have depression / anxiety / avoidant or if I just don't like doing things.
>she
I fucking wish. Even a fat whale would make my sessions more bearable.
Can you request a specific type of therapist or what?
I can't see myself opening up to an older person.
>>25192243
Ask her to push you more in therapy, I brought this up to my psychologist the other day and she was a little surprised but agreed, since then I've come out of most sessions crying like a baby but feeling amazing afterwards. My mood has improved so much since then.
>>25192124
stop trying to make yourself feel better because you're a failure
>real men

>he pays someone to pretend to give a shit about his problems
Top cuck. Your therapist goes home and laughs about the things you say with her Chad bf before he creampies her.
>>25192243
>I just want her to lead the conversations instead of me
Ask her
I always used to do this with psychiatrists, tell them that I didn't want to just talk and talk and talk without a response
Ask her to have a real discussion with her
I feel I always open up way more and in a more constructive way when I'm asked questions
I can't decide if I should go see a therapist or not. I feel like I should be able to get out of my problems on my own, but I always end up back where I started. Some of my thoughts are pretty bad as well. The idea of having someone talk you out of your problems because of some buried shit you need to uncover seems like a product of special snowflake syndrome for people that feel like their life needs to have an arc or something, and I hate the idea of that being me when I really need to just stop fucking around.

Anyone else ever fall in love with their therapist? Its been years since our last therapy session but i still think about her every single day. I fell for her the very second i saw her and she became all that I thought about. I wish id never had met her, ive never felt like that about someone before and I won't again, no one else will be as good as her.

Yeah I see a lot of people saying it didn't do anything for them. It seems like the whole thing is just a scam.
I'm honestly thinking that I could be a good therapist to most of you faggots
No "be yourself" shit, no backpedaling, understanding what it's like to truly be lonely/ hated/ ostracised.
At the very least I can shift your mindset from suicide to just embracing the awe-tism society keeps producing and only observing it from a distance
>>25191615
This
I went a couple times but due to work, I had to stop but low and behold. Not even a check up call. For that money, buy someone a few beers and vent to them.
>>25195141
i can relate to this. not nearly as hardcore as yours but after we talked for a long time i could feel myself getting an unhealthy attachment to her and had to cut it off
it's a shame because i haven't really been able to open up to anyone like i did to her
>>25195179
It's only shameful if you allow gender constructs to dictate your action, you're eating the biggest bait of all
of course if you feel the need to fit in/be normal carry on
>>25195368
That's very responsible for you to cut it off before you became attatched. I didnt have the strength to pull myself away from her, the last time i saw her was one od thr most difficult things i have experienced. She was everything to me, my world, my angel but the door closed for the last ever time and i didnt get to go back. Honestly i just want her to be my therapist again, i think that would be enough, i just wanted to feel that she was there for me and she made me feel safe, like aHOTmother figure to me

How did you guys pick your therapists? I tried looking at local listings and I keep coming up with middle aged women with pictures of waterfalls and Buddha statues on their website. I don't know what their intent is with such imagery but it doesn't instill any confidence.

>>25195613
I dunno senpai, I got recommended to an adolescent therapist when I was 16 after my mum forced me to see a doctor
and as you can guess, she was a middle aged white married woman. Never helped, I doubt shes ever been friendless and alone herself
>>25195662
Why must you be perceived as strong all the time, why put on an act, you impose this on yourself
Chances are your emotions aren't that well hidden anyway, they effect your actions in ways you're not perceiving, unless you are a great actor people can see through your deception. I can think of a ton of people like that. You're not 100% aware of your body language man.
>>25192260

You got shamed into suppressing your exhibition of those emotions, yeah it does make you manlier in the eyes of some, I don't feel that ashamed about being so upset you cry. I understand why you put on the act though.

This is where you and I differ, I don't care if someone feels pity for me. I want respect but I won't go to extreme lengths to get it like you will. You go too far with this, why does it even matter what a hired professional thinks about your feelings, they have 500 other clients

well then what the fuck am I even seeing them for
why not just print out a stock image of a person's face and tape it to the wall and talk to them

Their POV can be beneficial, instead of pity you might find compassion, we all have fee fees, sometimes it helps to vent them
You have a point though, you can give yourself therapy, the way you think is not 200% the ONLY way to think about matters that have no correct/incorrect, just different shades of gray

My therapist always gives me a happy ending. You guys need to try it.
i really want to see a therapist but i feel like there's so many factors that could go wrong and make me more uncomfortable than ever
My therapist is a middle aged guy. I like because he's understanding but also challenges me. A lot of you seem to think therapy is about "Muh feelings" (it is to some point) but it's more about finding practical ways of solving your life problems.
