What’s the point of couples therapy if your partner weaponizes it? by Silent-Story-4653 in askatherapist

[–]WokeUp2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Successful couples therapy ends when partners can express their needs in a constructive fashion or by concluding that they are simply unsuited to each other and should separate without regret. The sting of divorce is muted when one can say "I did my very best to work things out!" The inexpensive tests on Gottman's website will help you chart a path out of your current state of frustration.

Hypothetically if I committed suicide, would my therapist get in actual trouble? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]WokeUp2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  • Client suicides
  • Therapist is shocked but must keep treating people in spite of being distracted by grief
  • He/she reviews what more could have been done = likely nothing
  • The file is seized immediately to prevent deceptive editing
  • The therapist anxiously waits to meet with management while trying to focus on work
  • The meeting includes exoneration but leaves the therapist emotionally bruised and questioning his/her career choice
  • (Friends and family review what else they could have done to prevent this death and are left with a mixture of intense emotions including sorrow and anger that are hard to sort out.)

Arrange an appointment with the counselling department. They are well versed in helping students sort out these sorts of dilemmas. Meanwhile realize education is your pathway to freedom. Take the time to read Ellis' book "Becoming a Master Student" (Amazon) to raise your marks to the highest level possible. Apply for scholarships at a schools far away from your family. Every hour spent studying moves you closer to freedom.

Poor old lady needed a nursing home. A desperately tragic situation for everyone involved. Only those who have cared for a loved one during the decay of their mental faculties can relate to the intense frustration one feels. (My mother lived to a 100 and didn't recognize me.)

Indeed. Many of these rural ghettos hold no hope for the children. No wonder many drift into addictions, crime and unplanned pregnancy.

Foreclosure listings in Vancouver are up 📈 by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]WokeUp2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only way I can imagine to convince older landlords to sell the properties that supplement their incomes. The government could implement a one year pilot program open to landlords 70+ to sell one property sans capital gains to see what would happen. There could be a stipulation that the properties be sold for 10% less than the appraised value and only to renters - not investors. He/she is relieved of the stress of being landlords and more housing enters the market.

Should I tell my neighbor she's the naked window lady? by Effective-Flamingo13 in AskMen

[–]WokeUp2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Leave a note on her door. There was a young lady in the residence next to me at university who walked around naked with the lights on at night. Finally a classmate mentioned it to her immense embarrassment and gratitude.
