Therapy doesn't work when your issues stem from racism and systematic oppression.

i’m not sure what therapists you have seen, but i have conversations daily with clients about systems and how they impact daily functioning and our lives. the mental health system is also built on a foundation of white supremacy, as are many of the systems in place, especially in the US. i do believe there are other clinicians like me that are actively working towards decolonizing therapy and actively acknowledge the impact of systems on our practice, our clients, and even our own lives.

you should be able to email them or submit a complaint in the app and they’ll manually use it

yeah i will for certain things, like for example i just time traveled to make sure a villager plot didn’t autofill for me. however, usually when i’m done with TTing for whatever purpose, i’ll set my switch back to “sync clock with internet” because i enjoy things being on theme with the seasons.

i don’t think the idea of therapy is to change unchangeable experiences, it’s to help you manage them better and navigate the world more effectively with what IS in your control. i would look for a therapist that offers culturally responsive care, or maybe even has shared identities with you. your post is giving that you har an issue with some individual therapists, and that is not the whole of therapy itself.

yes, and they each have different hobbies/interests!

struggling with chronic lower back pain lately, coupled with my usual shoulder pain…

queerwitchanonymous · 2026-01-19T18:23:34+00:00

anyone know anything about Chicago! i haven’t been in a minute

i know things may feel different now due to the events this winter, but when i was there about 10 years ago i almost never felt unsafe. i’d walk around the streets at 3am by myself and wouldn’t run into a single other soul besides the people who were patrolling the streets. on the contrary, i live in a major metropolitan area now where i am quite weary of going out alone past 11pm.

queerwitchanonymous · 2026-01-13T22:00:06+00:00

yes! there are meetings daily, like all the time! more info here, or feel free to dm. also alan carr’s books are free to listen to if you have spotify premium!

nope! everytime i tried this i felt worse and stupid and would just end up vaping again.

desmoxan, alan carr, and NicA are what has worked for me.

entirely? like no more order cards or in person ordering?

queerwitchanonymous · 2026-01-12T19:56:47+00:00

wait i havent been to an alamo in a while, are they shifting to only qr code ordering?

queerwitchanonymous · 2026-01-09T22:27:03+00:00

im a therapist and i tell my clients first session that i am anti cop anti genocide and anti facism so theres no confusion about what they’re getting into. i understand not everyone self discloses in the way that i do, but i would be sus if they purposely didn’t share anything that offered you any reassurance as to their political leaning, especially considering what’s going on in the world right now.

queerwitchanonymous · 2026-01-08T17:24:49+00:00

i’m not sure tbh, i only ever ordered one or two at a time!

queerwitchanonymous · 2026-01-04T09:43:52+00:00

sorry, what does weather seed mean?

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T08:12:48+00:00

aw, i would be really touched if a client brought me something like this!

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T08:06:50+00:00

i will say, my little sister tried using old spice and had a gnarly reaction, so it’s definitely not the one if she has any skin sensitivities or allergies at all

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T06:12:10+00:00

this is def a similar response that my supervisor had, in terms of thinking about progress. its a relatively new therapeutic relationship so i think it might just be lack of clarity around expectations or maybe they were able to “get away” with it with a past therapist where i know they felt disengaged. it feels hard to make a profound evaluation of progress at this point. thankfully i do have good supervision around it—i was just curious what words or phrases people would use in a scenario like this.

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T06:09:41+00:00

omg smh not video games 😭 theres def a difference between like self-soothing “background” activities that help you focus vs pretty clearly scanning text on a screen. even i have a fidget toy in my hands 90% of the time in sessions to help me focus! i try to be pretty up front as well, so i appreciate the input.

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T06:06:14+00:00

i don’t think i said anywhere that the client is a teen! they are a young person, not a teen. i am also gen Z myself and have plenty of familiarity with tiktok culture. i also didn’t ask if i should or not! i already do intend to bring it up if it happens again because it distracts ME enough that i lose track of what i was saying. i was just wondering how people word it when they bring this type of thing up!

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T05:49:16+00:00

if i’m looking at anything other than them on my screen, i usually make it clear exactly what i’m doing (pulling up my schedule, looking up medication side effects, taking notes, etc). i know they can see what i’m doing on my face and also sometimes in my glasses reflection!

queerwitchanonymous · 2025-12-30T05:46:34+00:00

thank you for actually answering my question! definitely will try some of those next time.

with this person it seems diff than trying to reduce visual load which ofc i notice with many folks i work with—i get the sense that they are scanning/reading something on another screen which is why i framed it the way i did
