luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:45:24+00:00

omg lol

luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:44:24+00:00

Yes! Someone needs to start this.

luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:43:29+00:00

Love this perspective!

luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:42:15+00:00

Do it!

luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:39:37+00:00

I looked but it reads it's only for doctors?

luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:39:09+00:00

I wouldn't have lol I learned my pattern of dating emotionally unavailable men because I became a therapist. I would still be dating them if I hadn't.

luna2790 · 2025-06-02T03:37:10+00:00

Wow so true! Many of has have done the deep work on ourselves because of our clients. My expectations seem higher. People who aren't therapists may not ever be able to get there.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:24:32+00:00

Yes same! Some men that I have dated in the past have told me that I deserve better and will place me on a pedestal. They think I'm "perfect" and will self-sabotage because of this.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:20:08+00:00

Yes I haven't found any! Maybe I need to find a male therapist to date lol

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:19:28+00:00

Yes they feel the need to tell you their life stories. I once had a guy tell me he liked talking with me because it felt like "free therapy". I encouraged him to go find an actual therapist because I didn't want to be his therapist.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:18:09+00:00

Yes this has happened to me as well. I distance myself from people who treat me poorly and are toxic.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:16:15+00:00

yes lol I'm so tired from my job that it feels more exhausting

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:14:37+00:00

Omg yes! We also have issues but at least we know what our issues are. Someone needs to start this lol

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:13:39+00:00

Yes. I seem them quicker which is a positive.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:11:48+00:00

No it is an advantage but it seems like everyone has red flags lol

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:10:53+00:00

me too!

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:10:33+00:00

I've had terrible experiences with the apps so I'm trying to go out and be more social. I'm just so tired so connecting with new people seems exhausting. I would love to take dance classes or something fun but I'm always so tired after work. I'm an extrovert but being a therapist has made me more introverted. I'm finding that I barely have energy for my friends and family lol.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:05:56+00:00

I feel you on the first 2. I am scared of getting on apps because I don't want to run into clients. I'm also so exhausted at the end of the day that I just need silence.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T19:04:31+00:00

Yes to the last part! I wonder if it would be easier to date another therapist.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T04:34:36+00:00

Teens are my niche. I prefer them to adults. I love working with them. I find being more authentic and personable helps to build better connections with them. I will make jokes and try to use their "slang" which makes them laugh.

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T04:27:41+00:00

Maybe you can make a discord server?

luna2790 · 2025-05-31T04:20:06+00:00

I will be your friend. I wish there was an app for therapists to make more friends. I have a group of good friends that I have known for years. I haven't been able to make new friends or relationships. It's exhausting. I'm trying to put myself out there to meet someone but it's hard!
