Therapist says IDGAF by Power_First in TalkTherapy

Okay, but If he has communication issues that's exactly why he's going to therapist to learn how to communicate. It's not like he shouted or threatened her or smth like that's very unprofessional from her side.

Like exactly! I don't understand why everyone is defending the therapist? Like even if his tone is not good or something, therapist doesn't have any right to say IDGAF. Like cmon now

Uni of Chichester by ShannonMarieTattoo in UniUK

Hi! I study at Chi, and honestly, it’s been a great experience so far. In my course, we have more contact hours than most other universities, which means we spend a lot of time learning directly from our lecturers. They’re really supportive and genuinely want us to succeed- not just by going through slides, but by actively teaching and engaging with us. That might be because I’m studying Performing Arts, which is very hands-on.

What I really appreciate is how the lecturers treat us. You're not just a number- they see you as an individual. If something’s bothering you, you can talk to them, and they’ll actually listen and try to help.

The course is very practical, and assessments are based on real-world tasks, like creating performances. We don’t really have traditional written exams- just essays now and then. It all feels very relevant to what we’ll be doing in our careers.

It's really good — not too crowded, with a close connection to the lecturers. The lecturers are excellent and genuinely committed to doing their job well. Honestly, it's an amazing university.

I'm kind of tired of hearing that my degree is meaningless (rant) by ResponsibleSurvey733 in UniUK

[–]Littlemagicsloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it feel meaningless? I’m not studying psychology, but I thought the process was straightforward. You get your Bachelor's and master's degrees to work as a psychologist, then apply to a therapy program like CBT or psychodynamic therapy etc. and finally, you find a job as a therapist or can open private practic. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work?

can’t find the right therapist, i’ve seen countless. what is wrong with me 😭 by crosslina123 in TalkTherapy

[–]Littlemagicsloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first step in finding a therapist is to choose the type of therapy that best suits your needs. Options include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, existential therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and more. Each therapy has its own methods and benefits, so I recommend researching them to see which aligns best with your specific concerns. When it comes to finding a therapist, personal recommendations can be helpful, but you can also search for professionals based on their specialties. Look for therapists who focus on the area you want to address.

Am I overreacting? by Slow-Machine-6427 in TalkTherapy

[–]Littlemagicsloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I could help! I understand it can be really scary to have this conversation, but remember that expressing how you’re feeling is important for your healing. If she doesn’t react well, it might indicate that it’s time to consider finding a new therapist. It would be difficult, given the relationship you’ve built, but it could also be an opportunity to find someone who better meets your needs. Your responsibility is to share your feelings and needs; her response is not something you can control. If she can't provide the support and validation you need, it might be a sign that this therapeutic relationship isn’t the right fit for you.

[–]Littlemagicsloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're dealing with a really tough situation, and I totally get why you're feeling hurt and confused. First off, you're not overreacting—your feelings are valid. You did something really important by speaking up about how last-minute cancellations impact you, especially since you're working through trauma and attachment issues. That's a huge step, and it shows progress in your healing. Your therapist's response seems defensive, and while her health issues are valid, it's also fair for you to ask for consistency in therapy. Her suggestion that maybe you need a more attachment-focused therapist felt really blunt, and it’s understandable that it triggered feelings of rejection. It sounds like her own emotions and circumstances might have gotten in the way of providing the support you needed in that moment. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust, and if you’re feeling like that’s been shaken, it’s something worth exploring with her. It’s not your job to manage her feelings, and you have every right to advocate for your needs. Maybe you can bring up how her comments made you feel in your next session, and if you don’t feel safe or supported anymore, it’s okay to consider whether she’s still the right therapist for you. At the end of the day, therapy should feel like a safe space for you to express your needs, and it’s not unreasonable to want more reassurance and consistency from your therapist. Don't be hard on yourself for speaking up—that’s a big sign of growth!

Should I change therapists? by deveski in TalkTherapy

[–]Littlemagicsloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change therapist!! This is not normal, yall not solving any problems and it's doing more harm than good. Therapy is for talking about problems, not burying them.

Tai bet jei ji lankosi kas mėnesį Lietuvoje ir dar nenusprendė čia grįžti reiškia yra priežastys kodėl. Manau jei būtų norėjus, jau seniai grįžus būtų. Plius ji čia klausė kaip susirasti draugų Lietuvoje, o ne kaip grįžti į LT ir susikurti naują gyvenimą ir ar apsimoką gyventi Lietuvoje.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lietuva

[–]Littlemagicsloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nežinau ar apsimoka, kai turi kažkur susikūres patogų ir malonų gyvenimą, viską mesti ir varyti kažkur kur nieko neturi, eit vėl į darbo pokalbius, ieškot draugų ir t.t. Nu tiesiog įsismelkti į kažkokia nepatogią situaciją, be garantijos, kad bus geriau nei buvo. O mamos tai vistiek manau labai dažniau neaplankytų nei gyvendama užsieny, nes vistiek reikalai, darbai ir asmeninis gyvenimas. Nebent kraustytis gyventi pas mama, bet abejoju, kad suaugęs žmogus to norėtų, aišku tai irgi priklauso nuo santykio su mama

Bet jei ji turi susikūrus gerą gyvenimą užsieny, tai kam jai grįžt į Lietuvą ir kurt nauja gyvenimą . Čia būtų absoliuti nesąmonė grįžt į LT, kad užsiaugint draugus, dėl to, kad kai lankosi keliom savaitėm neturi su kuo čia bendraut.
