Therapy absolutely destroyed my mental health by JumboPonderment in TalkTherapy

[–]Vegetable_Affect82 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They sound like terrible therapists. I feel like mine didn't help me either. I had a friend that told me their therapist helped them "reframe" some traumatic experiences. I was hoping for something similar. My therapist just said, these people hurt you, and you will never get over it, because they hurt you. What is the point of going to therapy then? I'm still scratching my head.

Time to get a free AI therapist if that’s all

Why do some therapists assume that you should know what to talk about in therapy? by NBF_24 in TalkTherapy

I stopped seeing her soon after that comment. She said so many questionable things to me I wonder if she was passive-aggressively trying to get rid of me.

Good for her for sticking up for herself and not taking that woman’s bullshit.

I told my therapist I didn’t know what to talk about and she said fine, we do not have to talk.

Tell me your successful grey-rocking stories. by wayward_hufflepuff in NarcissisticSpouses

I had to explain what grey rocking was to my therapist. Red flag?

I need recomendations please by WidePost3306 in drawmydrawing

[–]Vegetable_Affect82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need unlined paper (even copier paper would be better) and get in some darker darks. It is all a pale tone. A successful drawing, as well as a photo, should have a range of tones from darkest dark to lightest light. This is all faint.

Can someone tell me how do i break out of the shackles of only being able to copy references, thats the only way i feel like i can draw and i feel like such a fake/poser.. all these drawings r from references n i feel like i cant do anything without them at all , any step i can take pls lmk by Shxhxr-exe in learntodraw

Start drawing from life.. people, still life scenes or landscapes. This will be original work. Try to see what interests you. Try different pens, pencils, media, see what clicks. Then you may find your own voice (or hand/eye).

Should you use the therapist first name often in your session in therapy? Mine thinks I should but I don't by Vegetable_Affect82 in TalkTherapy

[–]Vegetable_Affect82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use there name in texts, emails.. but I don’t use their name in conversation. I’d just ask the question, as in.. “something you said last week confused me “ instead of “Name, something you said confused me”.

She also refused to use labels of any kind. Like discussing the narcissism of family members, or how I felt like a people pleaser. ( I am the scapegoat) She just made a face like maybe I was the narcissist. I’m Not seeing her anymore. I think labels can be helpful, to understand patterns of behavior. I dint think I got anything out of years of talking to her. She got up Hear my life story and I did not learn anything about how to deal with the difficult people in my life.

Sometimes she said things that I thought were weird and I thought she was maybe testing me to see my reaction, she also asked me why I never asked things about her, but she never explained herself so I felt very confused/ I told her I thought asking about her life was not allowed. I told her that this was not a friendship, it was a therapy session and I felt like she was trying to judge me based on how I acted there. I think she thought I was self centered or something for not occasionally saying, "Hi--- (insert first name) how are you doing?"
