My therapist younger sister is guilty of all of this, and I've completely shut her out due to this (among many other reasons). She absolutely cannot fathom anyone who doesn't function in daily life based on "feels", and has deemed me a sociopath. The last thing I said to her as I walked away was, "If I were a sociopath, you'd already be dead."

Agreed…but I also believe that the DS planners are using tactics on society to create masses of narcissists and mental illnesses. These then abuse others, who go to therapists and/or get on brain drugs…and the cycle repeats.

That said….there is a reason the bible talks about forgiveness. And helping others.

You may have to grey rock, ghost or remove yourself entirely from the situation or relationship…and also forgive. Otherwise, eventually, you’ll poison your body and mind. In addition, helping others is truly a gift to you. And will also ease anxiety and depression.

If your dad gets upset because you're not doing chores, he's abusive… 💯 right!

If a teen is asked to watch their siblings …it’s parentification.

What’s interesting is it teaches your children that you have no authority and they can walk out at any time go to a relatives and claim abuse.

They don’t have to do chores, listen, steal, fight with siblings….

They don’t have to listen -you (the parents) are just housing them.

It's hard to really bond with people when you're constantly afraid of being a victim.

It's also hard to bond with people who look like they might just chimp out over trivial things because of how fragile "therapy" has made their egos.

Well where do I start? 🤔😅😆 I have a bachelor degrees in psychology. I never did my masters because "no jab no uni" 🤢

And if you have that degree and cannot wake up to what happened the last three years did you even learn anything?

I mean I originally went for this career because I really wanted to help people. Two problems with that statement.

1. how many are doing the same? A) So many have problem's they haven't gotten over themselves and hence seeing everyone as victims? And babying them? When my partner went to uni his lawyer professor or whatever mocked the previous whiteboards notes from psychology because "everyone joins it to fix themselves" 🤔 B) how many are doing it because they think it's good money ? Love to judge? Or are literally narcissistic and love having that power over people? I've seen it in my own psychology network.

2. what do you actually learn to help people? Half my degree was "filler classes" from any other field to keep you in uni longer and cough up more dough $$$. And what I walked away with is: no wonder they encourage you to get a marketing career if you fail getting the grades needed for the master entry to be a psychologist. All I learned was manipulation, coercion, gaslighting etc. Geesh sounds like convid 🤢😅🥴

I don't deny it hasn't helped me in life but I feel it's because of the wrong reasons like knowing how to manipulate 😭 Others will probably *justify it as using your skills but I don't like it.

Oh and regarding the dsm, drink too much coffee and it's deemed a mental illness yet be a man and identify as a woman is acceptable now 🤔🤦

I’ve been watching YouTube video of (mainly younger girls) getting pulled over for drunk driving. In just about every one of them, they will claim that they suffer from anxiety issues or PTSD.

I had a great Christian cognitive therapist who gave me the map to get out of my stinkin' thinkin' way of life. Admittedly, I am stubborn and used it to my advantage to get myself better. A good therapist can be very beneficial as long as the patient wants to do the hard work to change and is encouraged to do so.

It also trains you to never take accountability for your own part in any conflict or troubling situation in your life. Even suggesting that someone engage in self reflection is considered toxic. That’s why therapy is so addictive — the person you’re paying to listen to your problems is validating every single one of your own toxic traits.

Issue at work? Blame the boss or colleague. Fight with your girlfriend/boyfriend? Dump their toxic ass. Strict parents? How dare they; cut those monsters off. Can’t deal with the stress and depression all of these toxic people in your life are causing you? Help yourself to this menu of SSRIs.

Life is easy when it’s always everyone else’s fault and never your own. I almost admire the grift.

It’s essentially professional gaslighting. The mental health industrial complex carved out a sweet little evil empire for themselves with the full support of big pharma.

Therapy as a solution either failed to stop the rise in mental illness or was complicit in its rise. Either way as a solution going forward it has no place being as vaulted and heralded as it is.

How about talking over problems with friends and family instead of therapists?

Yes.

Based on observation, and a few unguarded comments by my sister, (pediatrician), therapists mostly come from the soft 'sciences' - psychology/sociology/social work. The soft 'science' pipeline is mostly populated by women. The educational component isn't that demanding, so its graduate breakdown isn't surprising. There are a few men, here and there, rather uncommon though.

The difference between men and women therapists appears to be men listen, encourage you to question everything, and help find a more productive path. Women listen, tell you your wrong, and you must change 'in the following manner'. It's not about you. It's not about what's going on. She projects her 'feelz' onto your vulnerability, because she's right.

Just ask her.

You don't need therapy. You need to get out of the city, breathe some fresh air, and find like-minded men for hiking, carpentry, bbq's, and gaming nights.

I went through lots of emotional trauma, my mother, a drunk, had a bad taste in men. 3 husbands and BF in between. All except the last one beat her. We lived in more than 50 places as kids, and half of our childhood was at Gram and Pop's. Abused by husband #2 in the bathtub (I barely remember) and again as a tween (2 seperate perps). Thank God I didn't get involved with the system.

I self-medicated on weed off and on most of my life, and I suffer the health consequences of that, but its preferable to the mental/emotional health industry, and what they do to people.

The worst abuser of my mom killed my too-young to be away from mama cat when it piddled on the floor. He made me bury it (As if it was my fault). So I like to tell people "I might cry, but I can still bury the cat" People need to quit being whips and become strong. God can see you through anything.

Therapy is a big commie city problem.

I don't know anyone who goes to therapy.

I'll put my story here because I'm certainly not ashamed to say I went to therapy for awhile, and I do believed it helped me a lot.

My ex of 25+ years is a narcissist. I don't need a diagnosis or the actual label : all 9 character traits and behaviours are there. Going back in the mental replay : yep, there the whole time.

When that ended, I knew, based on my own personal research on DM5 behaviours and the path the empath / people pleaser takes, I would end up with someone exactly like her again, and I had to know why I stayed with her for so long ; it's not like I didn't know she was a fairly horrid person.

Therapy allowed me to go deep into myself to find the answers to why I have always done some of the things I do / responses to things / allowance of actions of others that are harmful so I can protect my heart and mind. Boundaries are fucking weird when you've never really had many.

It all boils down to having someone to talk to, to work out your problems.

This isn't wrong at all, but it does depend on a couple of important factors. The first being you, the one going to therapy, being completely open and honest with yourself and the therapist. You have to be able to be vulnerable like a 3 year old ; it's the only way the second factor can happen. The second factor being a good therapist that knows what questions to ask and when. Sometimes, that other person can ask you the questions you don't want to ask yourself - hence the talking to someone else. If that other person though, has the tools to ask the right questions to allow you acces to the doors of your mind, it helps a lot more.

Therapy isn't for everyone and I'm certainly not advocating that at all. Therapy 100% worked for me but it's because of these two factors, and I'm thankful for the therapist I was seeing.

This is a very interesting post. I do understand where you’re coming from, and feel that a majority of therapy people are going through, is to brainwash people. With all of the disorders available on the menu, it’s easy for people to pick and choose and then claim that’s what’s wrong with them. Instead of actually doing the work, and finding out with the real issues are at hand.

When exiting a mental illness treatment facility, they now recommend. DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This is suggested to participate in groups. It teaches you to monitor how you respond to people and to change your thought process when having intense emotions and feelings. Sounds like a great idea, right? Wrong! I think it’s a form of Brainwashing, and because people sign up for it, they are willing victims.

I know somebody who went through this therapy, and they completely changed afterwards. DBT pushes the LGBT & BLM thought processes, and overall woke idealism. It’s very insidious.

However; on the flipside… I do have a mental illness. Having a good psychologist and psychiatrist has been very helpful. They’re just very hard to find these days. I’m not going to get into all the details, but understanding how my ADHD, OCD, and anxiety work … helps me to manage it much better. Having the tools to know how to navigate through life, instead of just not knowing what’s wrong with you, is a much better way to live. Also a close family member of mine, has finally figured out they have ADD - and this had helped them immensely. Understanding that these idiosyncrasies don’t make them a bad person, and then learning how to manage them, have made quite a difference in their life.

There’s a fine line between people who are actually mentally ill, and those who just want to have a label and fit in. It seems to be very popular right now to have a laundry list of issues, that you can fall back on to blame the world for all of your problems.

Also, we have to keep in mind; with the onslaught of childhood vaccinations, and other vaccinations, people are definitely suffering from mental health issues. I think this is by plan. However, sorting out everything and getting a decent diagnosis is very difficult.

In closing, I wish I had known 40 years ago about my illness. I would not have had to struggle through life as much as I did. I’m just happy that I finally have a handle on it, and I have become a more productive human. Thanks to a new ketamine treatment for depression, but more importantly… My faith in Jesus Christ. He alone gets all the glory for the success in my life.

Also, on a sidenote… these evil bastard that have tried to poison us, and break us mentally, will be taken out by the autists they created 👏👏🤣

You're right.

Former clinical psychologist here. The Lord confronted me on what I was doing and told me I had, "one foot in and one foot out." It was clear what was being asked of me. I walked away from psych and chose Jesus completely. There was no truth in psychology. The Gospel is the only way we heal.

Most professions nowadays are artificially bloated in value and demand. Much like doctors, many therapists are taught a detrimental practice to create that demand. The sicker the society, the more these groomed bureaucrats come into existence. The whole system exists to tear down society and pay people to do it.

On the other hand, I know a few competent and healthy therapists that have helped not only myself but other people close to me - ultimately teaching an acceptance of emotion and a responsibility for one’s own behavior.

. I am going to have to block cringerepublic because this user makes me reevaluate my own interactions and that makes me uncomfortable. you are now blocked AND I have reported you to my mom, you are in real trouble now...

I think this goes hand and hand with "diversity". A generation that is brought up to constantly individualize themselves and how they are different from everyone around them will never feel connected to others. Nothing is ever said about the similarities and the things we have in common, its just always "I fit into these categories and you could never possibly understand what its like to be me because you fit into these other categories." And the ones that struggle to find categories that they are comfortable with end up putting themselves in categories where society HAS to accept them (LGBTQ+).

I have dealt with an unusual and difficult situation with my mentally disabled sibling who is suffering from mental illness as well and it has deeply impacted me in negative ways. I thought of looking for help and even screened some therapists. In this woke society I would have to pay cash to even get a rational therapist because they have to follow the protocol as written in the “system”. In other words if your insurance covers them, they follow guidelines put forth by the same system hellbent on destroying us mentally and physically.

The rapey

Someone that is NOT you determining who you are after a few conversations....

What could go wrong...................................

It works if you are your own 'therapist' and don't lie to yourself, unfortunately denial and self-deceit seems to be the cornerstone of human psychology.

People don't need therapists, they need to be taught how to be honest with themselves and how to do effective self and action/consequence analysis on them selves.....

Yes

Psychology isn't a science or any sort of medical treatment, at its most basic its a support system for psychologists. If you are treated by one they are not there to help you, you are there to heal them by diagnosing you in the only way they know how, the way of psychology.

Anything else besides psychological reasoning is suppressed, they can't see much else beyond their methodology. IOW, they are midwits.

Yes

Not all doctors wear white coats. Some specialists, like psychiatrists or pediatricians, may choose not to wear them for a variety of reasons, such as creating a more relaxed atmosphere or avoiding potential power dynamics.

Friend of mine made an observation long ago regarding the run to therapy; "You don't need a shrink. You need a priest." There is a lot of truth in that - many people don't want to acknowledge that the problem isn't mental - it is spiritual, which is why therapy doesn't solve their problems.

I've viewed "therapy" as a total crock for many years.
