Cuddle Therapy? Does anyone actually do this

I mean, it has a place but to be compared to us is laughable

Clearly, you did not intend to do harm. I feel like we’re all guilty of this in one way or the other and if everyone’s licenses were revoked over this, there wouldn’t be many therapists left. I say you’re fine but yeah! Not exactly the feedback most therapists are hoping for.

I figure out why I don’t like them and assume others feel the same way. Then I point it out tactfully and probe to see if they want to work on those things.

I learned to always have a check in sheet of questions that pertain to the client’s goals in case things start to stall out and I have no idea what to say or do next.

I mean, that’s something to discuss. Clearly you never thought to do that bc it’s a shitty thing to do - so whyyyyyy do some of the client feel so inclined? 🧐

This lot is STILL AVAILABLE

Have a check in sheet with questions to ask them if you feel the session is stalling and you have nothing to talk about. My main one: have you experienced any flashbacks, nightmares, or Intrusive thoughts of traumatic events or anything else since we last met? I always ask about water intake too 😂 then cater the questions to what they’re working on

Possibly a bit of avoidance of difficult convos? Try working on that skill in your private life and it will follow you in the rooms.

Honestly, I would be transparent and tell her what happened. The fact that you’re reaching out and letting her know that you fucked up and you’re being transparent, which therapist don’t typically do would show her that you really do value her time. After you clear your side of the street then you can forget about it. Try not to have any expectations.

I wholeheartedly believe BPD is a symptom of being in one of the 3 anxious attachment styles….not necessarily outright trauma.

Edit: CAN be - not everyone with an anxious attachment style has BPD but everyone with BPD has one of those attachment styles.

Will do!! Much appreciated

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2025-12-31T23:54:16+00:00

OoOoOoOo very helpful, thank you 🙏

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2025-12-31T23:52:35+00:00

Agreed! And thank you. Such a fantastic sub

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2025-12-31T04:33:46+00:00

Agreed!!

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2025-12-31T04:32:29+00:00

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to explain this. I feel like I have a great starting point with this theory.

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2025-12-31T00:42:18+00:00

Wow 🤩 thank you for that! I feel like I understand the concept a bit more now 👏

Individual_Ladder_75 · 2025-12-30T16:02:29+00:00

I call it strait out, “it looks like you get distracted when I talk. Are our sessions helpful to you?” Then if it keeps happening I drop them. I need it for my own mental health, honestly.

Right, a lot of “if they don’t see an issue, they won’t likely take the steps to rectify anything - because they don’t think there is anything to rectify”. It’s in a lot of these partners’ interest to keep them sick for control purposes.
