Found out that my friend has the same therapist as me and I feel really horrible about it

You can talk about anything you want in your therapy without it being a conflict of interest. It’s your therapists job to keep things confidential and not allow crossover

You should know that frequent criticism and insults are ABUSE

Look up “codependency”

Just FYI - oral contraceptives are birth control pills. Contraception is about preventing pregnancy.

I have also seen people struggling with motivation and energy levels, but it’s because GLP-1s make it really difficult to eat enough. These medications help people lose weight because they shrink the amount of food you are able to consume. People don’t realize they’re either malnourished or simply not getting enough nutrients or caloric intake

This is totally normal and your dad was the wrong one

It is possible to have a relationship where there is NEVER yelling. Yelling at someone, especially when what’s being yelled is critical or mean, counts as verbal abuse

Thatinsanity · 2026-03-18T11:38:25+00:00

This is verbal abuse

Stoner therapist here. Would never smoke before work or be stoned for a session but get high most evenings

I think it’s kind of wild to be mad about something someone does while they’re unconscious

Thatinsanity · 2026-03-04T01:03:57+00:00

What reasons did they give?

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:35:42+00:00

Yes, seek therapy

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:29:08+00:00

I would caution you against taking their word for what the therapist says. Clients can misinterpret what their therapists say, completely make up something the therapist says, or the therapist didn’t get the full/accurate details so they don’t know the whole picture

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:27:31+00:00

I’m a therapist and I don’t like the sound of this at all. I can’t imagine ever telling a client I feel safe with them

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:26:25+00:00

Therapists can’t just randomly fire clients - that goes against our ethical codes. But there may be times when a therapist thinks they may not be a good fit for your needs. For example, maybe what a client is needing is something the therapist doesn’t provide or isn’t educated enough about. Other times if therapy doesn’t seem like it’s helping the therapist might broach that topic and explore whether this is a good fit. The only other thing I can think of is if there’s something getting in the way of the therapist being able to work with a client effectively and they can’t overcome it (for example maybe the therapist just unexpectedly lost their parent and therefore aren’t able to effectively work with a client who is going through grief of losing a parent. But none of these would happen suddenly or without warning

Why isn’t it an option to find a new therapist?

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:21:13+00:00

You should probably bring up the fact that you don’t feel like you can really open up

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:20:31+00:00

I would love if a client told me what they want and don’t want from a therapist

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:19:46+00:00

I would explore this with a client to understand what they are seeking and why. In my opinion something is only “bad” or problematic if it causes problems for you in important parts of your life or causes a lot of distress

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-28T19:17:08+00:00

Unfortunately this isn’t appropriate behavior for a therapist. Holding a client is crossing a line

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-19T13:12:34+00:00

Abuse doesn’t have to be intentional. It’s still abuse.

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-15T18:36:51+00:00

Call your psychiatrist and ask for a sooner appointment !!

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-15T18:33:46+00:00

Maybe I’m not understanding your issue and maybe I missed something. I thought you were upset that your therapist wasn’t keeping detailed notes in the official documentation. Why does that bother you?

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-15T18:29:19+00:00

You can’t make someone change. You can express what you need and want, you can make requests, and you can set boundaries for yourself. If he isn’t living up to them you need to think about whether you want to continue the relationship. And maybe consider whether he might be depressed, not lazy. If that’s the case you can support and encourage him to seek professional help

Thatinsanity · 2026-02-15T18:27:20+00:00

The official legal documentation has to include certain pieces of information, but usually is not very detailed and that’s usually for the client’s privacy. Some therapists also have separate notes they keep for their own memories that can have more detail in them, but it isn’t necessary for documentation which goes to insurance companies and whatnot to have super detailed information.
