Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

appreciation post for my therapist (hexbear.net)

fellow anti-Zionist Jew
not perturbed by me being a communist, in fact, actively asks me my opinion on current issues to factor into her blindspots
apparently has a spouse who consistently has a morning ritual check each day to update her if Joe Biden is still alive (amazing bit)
actively cool about gender stuff
has, over the many years since I started going to her, taken a special interest and personal study of the psychology of ADHD in part to better work with me and another long-term patient of hers
very empathetic and actively makes sure she’s respecting my boundaries especially when we get into sensitive territory

Shoutout to my therapist for being one of the real ones, I’ve heard too many therapist stories to not acknowledge that I’ve actually struck gold

We need tinder for therapists

Edit: I hate myself for typing this but will leave it up despite my shame for the struggle session

Lucky, all my therapist were basically Margaret Thatcher clones

Wish we didn't have to roll the dice for access to decent mental healthcare. Glad you managed to luck out!

That's really great! I lucked out for a while too and it can help so much.

[–] pancake@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 8 months ago

So glad she's being so diligent and considerate, that's a great therapist you have!

I might have found a therapist who isn't completely out of touch with material reality, fingers crossed 🤞 having the first appointment soon
