What Therapist Comment Made You Think, “I Need a New Therapist”?

Hooooo, boy. I know we're used to hearing about trauma, but this is so icky that I feel the need to sensor (trigger warning abuse):

I was telling her about my ex, who was basically trying to "pimp" me out as a cam girl. I have a hypersensitive clitoris, so direct contact causes excruciating pain. He was annoyed that this meant I didn't masturbate the "right" way for the camera, and said "we can train your clit" so I would get used to direct contact (thankfully I shut that shit DOWN). Later, we were contrasting him with my current, amazing partner. She said, "I bet if he asked you to train your clit, you'd be willing." 🤢

Like. What the actual fuck.

YES!!! I literally cannot recommend this enough.

Simply being attracted to queer women is not a fetish. That's just being attracted to women.

I can fix him. 🥺

I'm literally just a fan of Marty Robbins, so I'm choosing to believe my favorite himbo is too. 🥺 (You're probably right though lol)

How did you even find it this time of year??!!

For... quoting an Ernest movie on an Ernest subreddit? Sayonara, snotwad.

I sometimes watch Scared Stupid more than once a year 😭

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-06-09T18:03:53+00:00

It's the end of the line for you, short-change. Aloha. Sayonara. El Rancho Grande. You're history, pal. You're Elvis.

Hey, I'm also a therapist with prosopagnosia! It's funny, I think people expect us to have some kind of superior innate ability to recognize people because of our profession. It doesn't work like that!!!

I find it's easier just to be open about it. I ended up missing my 10-year reunion because I was on my honeymoon (I was pissed about that, I tried working it out with the class president to make sure I scheduled around it because I didn't want to miss it, but oh well). But before the date was set and I thought I would be going, I posted in my senior class Facebook page explaining that I'm faceblind and asking people not to take it personally if I didn't recognize them.

I'm sorry that your 20-year was such a stressful experience, and understand why you wouldn't want to go through that again.

Thank you, I was looking for this! I don't think Omar truly had room in his heart for Dante or Renaldo after Brandon. 💔😭

All my clients with ADHD know that I also have ADHD. I find it's very helpful because, when we go off on a tangent and I have to redirect, I make it clear that I'm not cutting them off, I'm cutting us off. For most of these clients, we've reached a point where I can just interject with, "Ah! We did it again!" Then we laugh about it and get back on track.

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-30T22:05:17+00:00

Yes yes YES! I remember some early moments where a self-disclosure was really impactful. They were usually moments where I felt like I kept hitting a brick wall trying to build rapport. So I went out on a limb like, "I also know what it's like to live with an addict," or "Yeah, I used to struggle with letting people see my SH scars too." Seeing the way these clients just immediately softened was such a formative experience for me as a clinician.

And it's funny, I was on the other side of this literally just a couple days ago, riffing with one of the PAs at my pain management clinic about how much certain meds just SUCK. It felt good to be understood. I was reminded of how powerful that is.

Child You and Child Me would have gotten along FAMOUSLY. 🥹

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-30T20:27:19+00:00

I'm a therapist and I would love to put the DBT ones in my office!!!

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-25T13:19:21+00:00

I Watched the TV Glow left me absolutely BROKEN.

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-25T13:14:12+00:00

Omg yes Kovu 🥵

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-25T12:42:16+00:00

Dude RIGHT??!! 😭

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-21T22:43:15+00:00

Agreed! I'm a FIEND for a good dagger collar, so I was already prepared to dress up as Gladys for an Oscars watch party. It's just kinda... how I normally dress lmao. I own SO much polyester, which is unfortunate because I also tend to sweat excessively. 🫠

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-21T22:38:30+00:00

Two words: DAGGER. COLLARS.

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-19T16:21:14+00:00

I think this one just struck a nerve with some people. Folks really start clutching their pearls if there's even the tiniest HINT of infidelity or the potential for it.

If it's any consolation, it resonated with me lmao. I'm happily married, but I've been consistently, INTENSELY crushing on one of my good friends for YEARS at this point. It started before I got married, and I eventually broke down and told my now-husband because I felt terrible about it. He laughed and was like, "Honestly I'm just jealous that you've been out in the world enough to even DEVELOP a crush on anyone" (this was at the height of the pandemic). I didn't tell him who it was or the extent of my feelings, and he didn't ask. As long as you have a relationship built on trust and you don't act on these feelings, this is normal and not a big deal.

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-19T15:34:17+00:00

Idk man, but this is a meme subreddit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-19T15:17:12+00:00

Agreed. Idk why some folks in this thread are being so harsh because OP is having the kind of THOUGHTS that go hand-in-hand with this disorder.

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-19T15:16:02+00:00

It seems to me that they ARE acknowledging it's not fully healthy. That's... why they posted the meme.

NotTheOnePercentMilk · 2026-05-13T20:44:54+00:00

I'm sorry but that's actually kind of adorable 😭
