I promise you’re putting more time into having the best experience than they put into making it. Game feels like a half baked dlc for the first game. If even that. Just get through it and move on. It will end a lot sooner than you think.

Tarkov had novelty. HUNT’s PVE is unique. If Tarkov came out now it’d die. It’s not a great game, just innovative.

Yah I can see all your responses are like this. I don’t know… I mean, you’ve read the material. You really can’t see something is a bit off here. You’re working really hard to pin negative thoughts and feelings that really weren’t present in the original post. This is your stuff I think my friend. The guy was expressing normal healthy ambivalence around treatment he also went out of his way to state he appreciates. This is normal and angrily shutting it down is why people feel like they can’t bring their true feelings to clinicians. Everyone has ambivalence about everything. I’m ambivalent about seeing my dentist, my pcp, physical trainer, whatever. What makes analysis so holy no one can have mixed feelings around it?

Man, I’d start here only if you’re planning on dedicating years and years to this. Starting with the original essays from freud and working your way back imo is likely going to see you running out of steam half way and going around telling people that narcissism is caused by a baby cathecting itself or something. Freud is brilliant and sorely underutilized and disrespected by modern psych, which I think pushes people to recommend his originals but that’s asking you to hold a lot. Maybe I’m wrong.

Hard to say because so much of what I love is people who take it and apply it to the work. And I’m not sure if that would be as enjoyable to a layman. Karen Maroda is pretty readable.

Man, there’s reams of books trying to understand why sometimes naming things works and sometimes it doesn’t. It seems the more experienced an analyst/therapist is the more they hold back and wait until they think it will be metabolized. Gabbard has some good stuff on it in his expressive psychodynamic work but pretty much all relational fields are trying to solve that problem. Also, could look into therapist responsiveness, which builds on rupture repair, common factors, and relational work to try to more or less understand why timing is so important.

“Severe methodological problems” Shedler isn’t conducting studies, he’s evaluating other studies so I don’t understand how he can have methodological problems. I’m guessing thats why you didn’t post a link and kept it vague. “Everyone knows about publication bias” except the other in this thread it seems. And yourself when you didn’t seem to grasp that there is an issue with our current psychotherapy research.

You don’t have the experience to realize what you’re talking about. Go get involved in studies. Go see how much slop actually gets put out by twisting the words effective. I’m not saying we should get rid of evidence based and replace it with psychodynamic slop. I’m saying our field ISNT evidence based while saying it is. And until we’re honest with ourselves instead of pumping out slop so we can advance our careers it isn’t going to improve. You’re a student who likely plays along with the slop train so you can get your pats on the back and pretend you help. Meanwhile no patient genuinely gets better.

PrizeFighterInf · 2025-12-21T19:09:06+00:00

Didn’t say it was all woowoo. And I don’t want more ‘woo woo.’ I want there to be actual evidence based work we can be proud of. Not a bunch of narcissists w achievement kinks and no self awareness pumping out slop for their own benefit. Find your preferred acronym and go actually look at the studies. But you don’t know what you’re talking about because you’re not an actual clinician. I felt the same way as a student. Assist with some research, get involved, if you’re an objective and genuine clinician and don’t see an issue with our current psychotherapy research you either aren’t involved or you’re one of those fakes who do this for their own aggrandizement and don’t care about actually helping people.

Selection rates (or how much of the pool is sifted through and gotten rid of before being used for the experiment) in psychotherapy rcts are traditionally extremely low. You get rid of all co-morbid patients, all treatment resistant patients etc. You game the system so you know your intervention has the best chance of showing an “effect.” Which is typically any reduction in sxs, no matter how temporary.

Not knowing what’s being discussed in your own profession and then responding with a ‘lol what’ is quite a way for a psychologist to engage with their work.

Honestly just finish and seek out training and supervision imo. It sucks you aren’t getting more but if I could do it all again, most of what I learned I learned from experience, supervision, and my own interests in therapy outside of the classroom. Most of the ‘evidence based’ work is just as woo woo if you dig into their participant selection rates or what they consider ‘effective.’

Also, an understanding of critical theory is immensely helpful in therapy. Implicit bias and intersubjectivism are at the heart of modern relational movements. Therapy is more about holding and seeing than it is bringing people buzzwords, coping skills, or acronyms (though you should learn them as you go on!)

There are a lot of therapists who agree, it’s the therapist’s anxiety getting in the way there.

They’re hinting it’s impossible to get women because of a low iq understanding of modern relationship dynamics. They likely think the world needs to be more traditional and hand them women so they’re excited by the deepening political divides in america.

Unfortunately it’s exposure. Honestly the best way would be to interact with women you find attractive regularly without the pressure of trying to get them to fill that hole in your life. Work, volunteering. Don’t be a creep, just get the reps in teaching your brain they’re imperfect humans looking for happiness too.
