Men: never go to a female therapist, they will NEVER be able to understand you from a man’s perspective. All they see is abundance, with men chasing them and paying attention to them, and will never understand how few choices those men in the bottom-80% are left with.
I feel like I need to say that if this was your experience you had a really shit therapist and deserve better. I've felt like this with a therapist before and it's terrible. It's ok to drop a therapist over this and try a different one.
Seem like just opening up to a friend and them questioning things. Doesn't sound like a proper therapist.
betterhelp ahh therapist
You can actually say "ass" here, btw.
Fuckin' mainstream social media-ass comment.
Yeah but saying ahh is funny
Ass is just crass (also, this has the same energy as redditors who complain about emojis)
Find a better therapist. Just because someone goes to school and gets a professional credential doesn't mean they don't suck at their job.
I'd still trust those more than I would a therapist without even professional credentials.
Why talk to a professional when I can simply talk to my very normal, very mentally healthy anons on the green text site?
Even if they aren't bad at their job, someone who doesn't have enough similarity of life experience to have a basic understanding of what you're going through could be a bad fit anyway.
Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I've ever heard a therapist say.
I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
You still don’t know a therapist has ever said this though.
What's the weather like in 1825?
Sadly it was only 4 years ago. But Iowa does feel like that sometimes.
I mean they have gravel county highways. When I found myself on one unexpectedly last year I said out loud "Why is this county highway unpaved? Why is Iowa a third world country?!"
Fucking ridiculous. Obviously you need to eat food shaped like your skull in order to enhance the beneficial humours.
Either:
Why not both?
or 3. ask therapist out
I had a therapist that eventually deemed me too dangerous to myself to be in their care, so she upgraded me to super-therapy where I have to go like 9 hours a week and work with a group and like 5 therapists but I still don't get much value out of it :c so yeah, therapy definitely isn't for everyone
sounds like you got bumped up to a higher level of care. are you in IOP? that's quite standard, especially for someone struggling severely but doesn't want to go to inpatient
some therapists freak out a bit over suicide risk a bit much, but there's a good chance that their recommendation was justified and the right call. I recommend talking about your frustration with your original therapist if possible, or just your favorite of the 5 if not.
I hope you're getting a lot of good skills
sounds like providing good therapy isn't for every therapist
that's probably more accurate, I probably just need to find a better therapist
You need to find your fit just like in love or friendship because it's a highly personal relationship that you're trying to develop with that person.

"Do you think I'm attractive?" Either way, need a new therapist, but there are all sorts of possibilities beyond them maybe being rude and demeaning to OP.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
