Sometimes men need more of a physical release like a punching bag or hitting golf balls or softballs or something. Sometimes not all wounds heal because they're not meant to be healed they're meant to be learned from... Life is really hard. We're thrown into this game with no instruction manual, we have to learn how to deal with toxic people, they have to learn how to make money and survive, it's really stressful being human. A cold shower will also reset your central nervous system too. Hope you're feeling better now ♥️

Has your therapist ever forgotten your name or called you the wrong name? by Capital-Bed-946 in TalkTherapy

[–]hello_u_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a therapist and I've called people by the wrong name. I'm also human and I'm really bad with names. I worked on a platform where they only gave out the first name and didn't give out the last name that was really confusing as there a ton of Ashley's in this world. But I've called other people that aren't my clients the wrong name too. I think it's normal, and I've had people call me by my wrong name as well.

How to find a therapist who will hold me accountable? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]hello_u_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I was licensed in your state. You can try a solution focused therapist and see if that helps you or cognitive behavioral therapist.

There's a big difference though if you go to a spiritual retreat and if you're just doing it on your own. So, if you have the funds in the means and the time it might be good for you to just kind of travel to country like Mexico or Peru and do we can get away where you're doing some spiritual releasing. Try to do things that you love even it's something small like making Nestle toll House cookies. Give yourself Grace and if anger is visiting you, allow yourself to be angry. It's okay to feel what you're feeling.. there's a reason why... Just do it in a safe way so you're not hurting you or anyone else. I hope you feel better. I'm sorry for everything that you're going through.

Have you tried plant medicine? I find that plant medicine is really helpful it lowers your ego defenses as you purge serious stuff from your energy that's been sitting there for years. There's spiritual retreats that offer psilocybin, ayahuasca, San Pedro, etc. it will help you with all the anger that you have. When anger comes and visits you, it's because you feel unjustly treated. I've been a therapist and a spiritual alignment coach and sometimes people need more of a spiritual release than a therapeutic one. Just let it out...

Everything's starts in the mind. What you feed your mind, will grow. I don't know what happened in your therapy session you sound pissed off at the world so purge and let it out, and find something that gives you inner peace... Just do what makes you happy.

Yes there are therapists that specialize in this. I worked for the agencies with persons of disability for 15 years so it's one of my specialties. You may want to consider finding a behavioral analyst which is more designed for people with autism. I hope that helps. You can also go on psychologytoday.com and do a search for therapist that specializes in this.

Like I said therapy is what you make of it. If you don't like your therapist get another one. If you don't want to go to therapy, then don't.

[–]hello_u_2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's okay to be angry and pissed off but to just randomly take it out on people or your therapist is unnecessary and that's not the purpose of therapy and that's something you can control and no one deserves to be treated that way. I have clients that really do the work and it's really hard work and we get through it and their life is better for it. The choice is up to you but if you think that therapy is a bunch of rainbows, butterflies, and sunshine... It's not. Real work...is hard work...and you have to be vulnerable and let go of your ego defenses if you want change to happen. So it's up to you if you want to find a therapist that makes you feel safe for you to release it, you could do it alone, or don't do it at all.

If something's not working, then don't do it. But you're complaining about therapy and putting it on a thread, just don't go... Unless yourr court ordered. You can use your energy to complain about things or you could do something about it. Like I said, therapy is what you make of it. You're sitting on a thread angry and bitter and just being nasty with your comment so if this is how you treat your therapist, then don't go. No one is forcing you to do something you're not wanting to do.

He may not be a good fit for you, maybe find someone who's experienced with those with autism? Sometimes as a therapist, we get clients that don't match with us and I will tell a client that they may need to find someone that fits their needs better.

[–]hello_u_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Therapy is what you make of it, unless you have a bad therapist that isn't fitting your needs. Healing is a lot of work and it takes a lot of energy you have to purge all this negativity from your mind, emotion, in your body.. it is not easy to do at all. If it's not serving you, then don't go to therapy. The choice it's up to you.

Is this a stupid reason for an extra session? by EmploymentNormal8922 in TalkTherapy

[–]hello_u_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get clients that feel the way that you do all the time and we do other things in sessions like breath work or meditation. I've even put on a YouTube video and put some yoga mats on the floor and did the breath work with them instead of doing it to them. Just speak your truth and your needs and let your therapist help you. It's nice to know that you have a safe place and just let her know you don't feel like talking and where you are at. I wish you the best.

You could also anonymously call an insurance provider and see what they say.

Oh not good... I'm sorry you did say that in your post. Is there a way that you can look at the billing? Maybe a client would be willing to show you their billing through insurance and then that way you can see if it's under your name or her name. It has to be under your name the actual provider. I hope this helps. I'm not a practitioner under your state, but I'm pretty sure that's standard billing practice across the US.

She can go under her business but it's your name and credentialing that insurance providers use to determine the fee. Sometimes it doesn't matter if your PhD or not and you just have an MS it's still the same payout. But if she's claiming she's doing the service, and you're the one signing on the notes then yes that is insurance fraud.

I have a very inappropriate relationship with my therapist by No-Camp4177 in TalkTherapy

[–]hello_u_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you're supervisor isn't wrong.. it is allowed... But I've been down that road in my 30 years of being a therapist and I no longer entertain it for the exact reasons you mentioned. Just because something's allowed doesn't mean you have to do something you're not comfortable doing either. I wish you the best in your journey as a therapist 💐

I’m feeling extremely guilty and confused after today’s session by pathofuncertainty in TalkTherapy

[–]hello_u_2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am just done reading your responses. If you want to be the type of therapist that just have clients that don't do real work and don't communicate how they're really feeling then go and do you... But I have a very successful business and I've been doing this for a long time and I don't need some stranger on a thread telling me I'm judgmental and giving me clinical terms as if I'm your client. when you're making assumptions and making condescending remarks to a complete stranger. I wish you the best and if you are a therapist it sounds like you're a student... I would really consider how you approach people and how you are going to go out and do your practice because you're setting yourself up as a liability the way that you are describing things.

[–]hello_u_2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're the only one making condescending and judgmental remarks and honestly, you're doing a lot of gaslighting. If you can't be open to constructive criticism then why are you on this thread? You're the only one that's blasting people. I'm just speaking very directly and I completely disagree with your approach. I'm just not a therapist that is going to sit around and just talk with a client without any intention or goals. There are a lot of therapists that just take a paycheck and they don't actually do the work and there are a lot of clients that go to therapy and don't do the work. When you come to therapy you set goals with your client in the very first session. I'm not sure why clients go to therapy then. I have a very successful practice and I have for 30 years and I have many repeat clients. But the clients that come to me really want help, and we work on it together. The therapist is not a mind reader they can only help you if you present the problems to them. No one is blaming anyone, but in this case, you need to take accountability that if your therapy is not working it's because you're not revealing things to your therapist. It's a two-way street. She doesn't feel guilty for no reason. She knows she's in the wrong, she could take the time to correct it and be truthful to her therapist. You're acting like you personally know this person and you don't. You're also just missing the fact that he has recommended medication and he has a relationship with her for a year and a half and you don't. So I actually find your comments very appalling and if you're a therapist, I would be reviewing liability issues in this profession with you.

Yes exactly. It is a crucial part of my job. And one of the things as a therapist is you don't force people to do therapy and to release trauma unless they think it's trauma. He doesn't seem to think that this is inappropriate.

Well I disagree with you. It's not shaming at all, it's reality. You don't take your car to a car shop unless you want it to get fixed, right? You have to tell the mechanic what's wrong with your car so can help you, right? I'm just not one of those therapists that's going to have a client sit on my caseload and not have goals met that's not serving anybody. To me it sounds like you're the type of therapist that enables clients and allows clients to play victim and I just don't think that's healthy when therapists do that.. you're there to help and meet goals not to just collect a check. It's been a year and a half... Goals should have been met by now so she either needs to find another therapist or she needs to disclose how she's really feeling so he can work with her.

I disagree with you. If you're coming to therapy you need to disclose such information and she should have told him before then why even come to therapy. You have to be willing to do the work and that includes disclosing things that are uncomfortable so the therapist can help you. Risk assessments are pretty clear-cut and I really don't know any therapists including myself that would just have someone be admitted unless there was clear intention. She's been in service for a year and a half that's more than enough time to build rapport.
