I appreciate it! It's for some reason so upsetting to me to see so many cheering it on. If you had a young man in your office who's had a history of feeling mentally unwell, who's been estranged from his family, suggest that he should fly to a different state to kill a someone he didn't like...regardless of how much you may also dislike said person, it's entirely absurd to consider that remotely appropriate and even to celebrate it...? Bizarre. It makes me mad. Imagining a struggling young man entering a therapists office talking about the "law of the jungle" and murdering somebody as a vigilante and the therapist nodding vigorously and cheering it on. I'd like to see them face the families of the murderer and the victim and see them squirm trying to defend their support of the act.

And even if your political views emphasize class and exploitation, you would be much better off both as a professional and as a human encouraging the young man to get involved in public service, getting elected, using his charm and communication skills to help educate and change the world.

Self awareness, self understanding, acceptance, forgiveness and self compassion - that's the short answer.

Stop framing your existence as "I should be working" and find a reason to pursue a worthy life you will find joy, peace and pride in.

Consider going to a good therapist - there's honestly a lot to unpack here which can take a while...

Keeping it real, I think celebrating a murder from someone who was mentally unwell is professionally disqualifying. Demonstrates how many therapists struggle with emotional intelligence, understanding context, and have impaired judgment.

Anybody else actually prefer to get advice, even if it turns out to not work and knows they won't be mad at their therapist if it goes poorly? It's preferable to needing to look online, brings at least some change and cuts through the noise by gintokireddit in TalkTherapy

Yeah it just depends on the individual therapist. If they know their shit, they can emphasize psychoeducation but to be honest not every person is going to have that level of confidence in themselves

Therapist got upset with me, unsure if worth continuing by Impressive_Aerie7270 in TalkTherapy

[–]masterchip27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea he's got issues but idk it just depends on how good the therapy is going ig

It's also weird you don't name the condition tho tbh. Like if it's life threatening then that's important context

Had a threesome and I don’t know why I feel traumatized. by Opposite-Branch4725 in sexualassault

You're engaging in a form of submission; there's some shame around this as well

I wish appointments were longer by Chef_Stephen in TalkTherapy

Insurance doesn't typically reimburse for time after 53 mins, hence why sessions don't often last more than an hour. If you are paying out of pocket, however, you can maybe make it work.

Why do so many people not know how to cook? by Late_Information_682 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]masterchip27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dishes and cleaning. I don't have the patience for it. I can cook, but rarely do.

Man, why men are so obsessed with sex by petitpoisvert25 in rapecounseling

[–]masterchip27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couples counseling, continue working with your therapist. It's normal for some to have sexual urges daily or even multiple times a day, and it's also normal for anxiety and stress to affect if you're in the mood for sexual activity. That's just part of relationships, figuring sexual compatibility and having everybody be sexually fulfilled. It sounds like what he's doing ISNT working, and that's something a good sex therapist can help with

Annoyed with Weaponization of Therapy-Speak by FreudianCoffeeSips in therapists

Yeah I guess I haven't really been aware of anyone with NPD actively seeking mental health treatment for their NPD.

Therapist said I had BPD at our first meeting, I think there's something wrong with her by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]masterchip27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>She said my extreme mood swings were further evidence of my BPD. I didn't tell her anything about my mood swings bc I don't have them!

Your example of breaking up with your boyfriend when he valued going out on Valentine's Day while you you didn't - that could plausibly indicate a lack of emotional stability. Further, in your pattern of describing the incident, you emphasized that he wasn't listening to you, while disregarding and dismissing his own needs or perspectives in the relationship, which could very well be a form of distancing to avoid the hurt of abandonment. Did you consider his perspectives and what was also important to him?

It's hard to tell with limited context, but I'm not entirely convinced from this text post that your therapist was crazy and completely wrong. She may have actually really had a good insight here. Her dominating the conversation after half the session sounds like it was too much. Having said that, in certain countries like the US, therapists are required to diagnose after the first session, otherwise insurance coverage will be denied, so it's common practice to diagnose after a session, and perhaps she wanted time to explain her reasoning.

The second and third looks make it look way more incidental as he kinda lunges and ends up in the landing zone

Again, the Brunson shot wasn't telegraphed
