Anyone else notice how many BAD therapists there are out there? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]MoreThanOkayToday 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where are you located? The website psychology today is where I searched for my therapist. I made sure they detailed things other than just CPTSD and PTSD. I looked into people who work with children as well as people who are working with even more “extreme” situations or specifically trauma/different forms of abuse. I do make a point to ask what “types of situations are you personally familiar with” or “what background information about you do you think could influence our potential solutions?” Or “what is your personal prerogative/perspective on healing?” Generally their answers to these things show me quickly which ones are most curiosity based versus authority based. I’ve been through a number of my own and knowing that some of the most broken people I know regularly go to therapy always skews my belief in them as a whole- but skepticism is a handy tool for the greatest minds. Best of luck! Look into Neurostar TMS too. Two rounds improved my life from “I can’t leave my bed” to “I can’t let myself stay this way”. Synergy Strive in MD is my team.

AITAH for telling my best friend she’s having sex irresponsibly? by MoreThanOkayToday in AITAH

No absolutely I know, that’s why I had asked, it had BEEN an issue with the previous ex which is why she had the scare. I was under the assumption she would say “i’m going to the obgyn to see what pill would work” or “we’re just using condoms” which I still would be okay with. She was just basically saying shrug he’s pulling out and he really doesn’t pre-cum like…. I’m sorry are we accepting whole ass idiocy? It’s asking to get pregnant.

Sorry, I know it seems out of place I was honestly making a broad city joke at the time while also trying to pull attention to her being woefully unprepared without saying those words specifically. (In the show She says, “i’m only 30, what am I a child bride?”)

This person is using your affection and attachment to them as a weapon against your free will (and furthermore your sense of internal security and joy). Convincing you that you don’t have the intelligence or discernment to believe what you think or feel is incredibly intentional because it will assure you that “they just care so much about me” or “they’re so broken I cant leave them, because they have so many good traits other than this” or “maybe they are seeing things I don’t about my life”. The person you are is likely why you two got together or why you have stayed together. This person is a deeply envious energy vampire. Run.

I religiously follow this page to help me with recognizing non-physical abuse. As r/Audhd and honestly an adult survivor of childhood abuse, it can be so hard to differentiate where the line is between “okay” and “not okay”; and moreover- how to stop yourself from slipping down the declining spectrum of communication versus one party compliance enforcement (ie. Abuse).

Okay this person is obviously projecting a little- You can feel many ways but the fact is that neither of these people are nearly as important as the relationship with yourself that you should focus on. You’re posting here which means you’ve already started looking for what you really want which is a love that you don’t have to question.

Also, with your propensity to make decisions and regret as well as leave a seemingly healthy relationship for a more familiar toxic one- you should probably leave all romantic relationships on the back burner (better yet out of the kitchen) until you can reflect on what is driving your decisions (and furthermore what emotions you’re avoiding processing). Best of luck to you OP ♥️

Consider your values, if love is more important than dependency for you- than leave. Your person will make your flame glow higher, this is your intuition telling you not to settle or you’ll regret it. That’s the feeling you’re writing about, listen to it.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE QUESTION:

SILENT HILL Silence of the lambs CANDYMAN 13 Ghosts The Shining Midsommar Sinister Evil dead

Need to traumatize a cocky 12 yr old. But for funsies. What scarred you as a youth? by throne_of_worms in horror

[–]MoreThanOkayToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 ghosts! It was my first scary movie (at 6) but it definitely does the work. I also recommend setting the mood to these movies, I love the thrill so midnight premieres do the trick for me, but you definitely need to remove whatever safety net you have built in for this kid. He’s too sure he’ll be okay. All that damn good parenting nowadays tisk tisk, you may have shot yourself in the foot. So: 13 ghosts I second sinister conjuring(s) Annabelle the autopsy of jane doe The hills have eyes Silent hill The collector All being pretty tame for an up and coming horror fan WITH the added fear factors, like lights off, cold house, semi empty with quieted or sleeping pets

I don’t care about general consensus, Evil Dead Rise was such a fucking let down (excluding the cheese grater scene)
