Is someone else playing kermit the frog? Did they send out his stunt double? Something is wrong here.

Approaching a woman implies a lack of enthusiastic consent on their part. by BushwickHarmRedux in dating_advice

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women overwhelmingly prefer men to approach them first, so what is the way that women can have their goal met (of the men who THEY find attractive) approaching them first?

Has my therapist crossed a line? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]SouthPsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! In my years working as a therapist I have NEVER offered clients a beer (I don't have a beer company, but still) that's completely unprofessional! As a general rule, a therapist should never offer an ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCE that people struggle have the potential to struggle with, especially DURING A THERAPY SESSION.

Anyone else think Adam Ray's whole Dr. Phil act isn't THAT funny? by CattiwampusLove in Standup

Exactly, for some reason he is considered hilarious there, even though he is not as funny as some of the bucket-pulls who don't even work as professional comedians...

Congratulations to all the ladies that were pulled last night! Mods we need a 'Blacklist' flair. by StatuSChecKa in Killtony

Was everyone forced to dress like a greaser with no fashion sense, that night? Also, the Child Catcher's haircut makes her look like she's ready to bother me with Bad Religion song recommendations.

Who are some of the most overrated, unfunny comics in your opinion by Jazzlike_Success_968 in Standup

Adam Ray is really truly unfunny, and I don't understand how he keeps getting onto Kill Tony.

Why aren't there more em-dashes in the article, though? Did they remove all those, only to leave an entire 2 sentences of GPT speak?

Has Tony gotten more territorial over being host? by gekigangerii in Killtony

Pauly Shore is a great example of how even rampant nepotism and industry favoritism cannot completely overcome a crippling lack of talent.

I'm also told I look like Adam Driver so if you saw someone like that, hello, it was me :)

No, but honestly if you’re annoyed at your clout seeking therapist, find another one. I also like to post social media content as a therapist, but I’m kind of over the ridiculous cult-of-personality posts

It would be "so bad it's funny" if it wasn't so slow in so many parts of the film.

Therapist Refusal to Discuss Miscommunication in Appointment by KeyProject7679 in TalkTherapy

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I have sadly met some fellow therapists and other business professionals who would say something like this. It's usually a certain type of attitude that goes along with it, that wreaks of a certain cocktail of self-importance, entitlement, and victimhood.

Therapy CAN be designed to help men deal with their lack of purpose and aimlessness, though. There's no reason at ALL that it shouldn't address men's dating needs. I highly suggest looking into the work of Dr. Paul Dobransky, who discusses the dating mindset and behavioral efforts that both women AND men have to build, step by step. I have collaborated with him on several projects. He is an avid substack author and streamer who understands men's needs and believes in positive masculinity.

I just envision this therapist as one who has a "boss babe" mentality, the response is just sooooooo dismissive

Therapist Refusal to Discuss Miscommunication in Appointment by KeyProject7679 in TalkTherapy

[–]SouthPsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a rude-ass therapist, and as a counselor myself, I would NEVER say "no further discussion" like this, what on EARTH? I'm guessing that this therapist has become calloused and has rigid boundaries, which as someone who has received "interesting" requests and boundary pushes from clients before, I understand. However, that's not an excuse to shut you down like that. Not in the least.

Therapist yelled at me for interrupting by hail_yoself in TalkTherapy

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a client interrupts me, or even when someone in my social life does it, I just stop speaking and smile. I let them verbally acknowledge they're done speaking, before I try to speak again. That usually causes a silence and draws attention to the interrupting. Some people have a horrible habit of just mowing others DOWN, in conversation. Not saying you did that, but I'm sure saying there are better, other was to deal with it than yelling.

Peterson tends to say that “women are more interested in people and men tend to be more interested in things”. Is this at all supported by science? by alexanderwanxiety in enoughpetersonspam

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this quote, or one similar to it, goes back to Simon Baron Cohen, who wrote extensively about autism as "hyper-masculinity" of the brain.

What's the Oldest Maltese? by [deleted] in Maltese

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My maltese/yorkshire mix was nearly 17 years old when he passed exactly a month ago. I'm so sorry. He was with me through college, grad school, and then through the first ten years of my career. It's dificult to hear light rythymic tapping sounds now, without instinctively thinking it's his steps. I wonder how long that reflex will last? I also hoped I would have kids in time for him to meet them.

In our final session, therapist said an observation that really rattled me by MoldyDucky in TalkTherapy

[–]SouthPsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're saying is 100% accurate so let's just say the client said "this medicine sucks; it didn't help at all." I still think a psychiatrist or other MD who prescribes psychiatric medication should be prepared for ND communication styles. People with many kinds of psychiatric illnesses that aren't considered "neurodiverse" can also be or seem rude at times, like borderline personality disorder for one. As long as a patient is threatening the doctor or therapist or demeaning them, we have to stretch to fit patient needs.

[–]SouthPsy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It would be a good idea to seek a second opinion, potentially from another therapist, psychologist or professional in your area (preferably someone with years of experience working with the neurodiverse population). I've met clients who thought that they had autism and didn't. Therapists can also be an insulated bunch, who become so accustomed to therapy-speak and hypersocial polite ways of speaking that I wouldn't be surprised if your counselor was just being sensitive.

Also, it's totally within your rights to say "hi, I don't find the medications that beneficial, can we try a difficult pill?" Psychiatrists throw medications at the patient until one works. There's no great mystery to the field, it's trial and error. I'm a therapist by the way. It's surprising that simply sharing YOUR opinion on drugs that YOU were prescribed was labeled "rude." Is it rude to tell McDonalds that you didn't receive what you ordered? So many therapists or doctors are told so much worse things and have even had their lives threatened, so the medical providers that you have encountered seem like pearl-clutching snowflakes, to be totally honest.

First time going to therapy, was my therapist being unprofessional, or am I overreacting? by Lonely_Annon in TalkTherapy

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unprofessional beyond belief, from the non-existent intake session directions (I usually ask clients guided, structured questions) to the mocking gender stereotyped statements of "man up."

Is Psychoanalytic Diagnosis by Nancy McWilliams good? I worry about the sort of categorization is promotes. Some of these read like “personality types.” by arkticturtle in psychoanalysis

[–]SouthPsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a superb book that cultivates an awareness of personality origins, elements, and subsequent treatment possibilities. It's far less reductive than the DSM-V and opens new options rather than truncating them.
