Cbt only exists to drive me mad istg
i like therapy bc otherwise i have no one to talk to about the stuff that makes me sad
you cant even be honest though otherwise theyll lock you away
the trick is to say “i used to be super suicidal and imag8ne dying every day but i definitely am not like that anymore for sure i promise”
it’s better than nothing for me. i just avoid talking about things that i think they might do something over
tbf thats almost never the case
unless they believe theres like an immediate threat for your safety
if i was honest they would absolutely think theres an immediate threat to my safety lmao
they can be surprising lenient
just dont embellish x
they can be surprising lenient
on the referral form it basically explicitly said that “thinking about suicide more than once a week” would be grounds for sending me to a ward. thats like, CONSIDERABLY more mild than anything i have going on
more than once a week… thats so low…
maybe they just dont like me very much
tbf judging all therapy by cbt is like judging all countries by visiting britain
its basically all the same level of pseudscience
therapy is good for getting coping machanisms or for dealing wifh stuff rhats not concrete or past exeriences that are traumatic, but it cant fix all mental illness and it cant do jackshit about actual material problems. and definitely the root of it is bourgeois pseudoscience but thats everything really.
cbt is a complete scam though.
but it cant fix all mental illness and it cant do jackshit about actual material problems
yeah so its completely useless for me then lol
i mean same im just saying its not like there isnt things it can do its just not going to help ypu specifically because you have immediate problems here and now
My therapist helped me a lot, he is a really good guy, except that he wants me to give up boymoding and learn to do makeup.
i mean mines nice personally ig but therapy itself is completely useless and does nothing
He actually helps me to get shit done. Gets me to get myself organised and turn plans into actual action. I can’t complain. I just wish I could do it without him.
cbt is really dumb yeah, but actual good therapy isn’t
but actual good therapy isn’t
i dont think this is real outside very specific circumstances
maybe not, idk. i think i just got really lucky because the first therapist i ever went to is a g
