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?

They’re just there to get you off the ledge and back into the stuff that got put you on the ledge.

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.

[–] Primarily0617@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You aren't wrong. I also won't fix your computer for free, no matter how old or helpless you are.

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just because Capitalism has made you a monster doesn't mean we all must be beasts.

[–] hypertext5689@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Okay, what do you do to earn your daily meal?

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I do various things and all of them I also do free to help my friends or people in need.

[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I met my therapist as a stranger, he is no friend or family of mine. Same as my doctor

[–] speck@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And many therapist will lower their rate and otherwise find ways to support clients as much as possible

[–] Primarily0617@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] speck@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Totally agree

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 65 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"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.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Blahnominous@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

In some cases, has made things work.

I hope I'm helping

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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).

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think per OP winning therapy means to get the therapist into depression. In you case the therapy won.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My therapist straight told me she has therapy to cope with my therapy.

It felt like a joke but I've always wondered 👀

[–] Remmock@kbin.social 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s true. All therapists are required to take therapy.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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?

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've always wondered who massages the masseuse?

[–] Rejacked@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

During mating season, they gather and form massage circles.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's masseuses all the way down.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait it's all masseuses?

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.

[–] gramathy@lemmy.ml 26 points 10 months ago

Well now I wanna hear it so I can see if I identify with it

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.
