All the early pioneers of psychotherapy were jewish. It's meant to muddy your mind, break up families and relationships, and get you hooked on drugs, ensuring repeat business for them. Anyone who suggests therapy to you or attends therapy is a complete and pure NPC bot. You can't pay someone to care about your problems, much less a jew. You don't need therapy. What you need meditation. It's free and doesn't include a jew manipulating your mind and body. You know what's best for yourself. Tune out the noise and listen.
For men at least, the only thing needed to maintain a healthy state of mind is to be able to carry out the power process described in the Kaczynski scriptures.
Women focus more on ALL people individually and equality of their treatment, even if they aren't White Americans.
Men focus more on sex when younger, and then on ridding our White America of all of the scum that now resides in it, including all of the jews who have managed and finagled those other invader scum in, all for their own cover and as assistants to the jews in gaining governing power over Whites.
My parents sent me to a therapist because I was angry they were beating me. My fat piece of shit therapist advised to just take it and stop getting upset over it.
Pretty sure he wasn't a kike but he was a gross butterball of fat.
I hope you're okay when it comes to them. I know we all hate reddit, but it took visiting the raised by narcissists sub to understand that both are narcissists. My dad is thankfully gone and has been for over 5 years now. He's a pile of ashes and can't hurt me anymore. Mom was a compulsive gambler and lost our house because of it. She'll be 72 this year.
Sounds like bullshit cause they are mandadeted reporters and have to report thay or they could lose their license. So sack up and sue them for money for an easy payday. Sounds like you had a shit therapist
Is that good advice for someone like dangus or dwb or great satan? How are those faggots going to analyze their own psycho behavior objectively? Most people have very poor insight into their own problems.
[ - ] Sector2 1 point 5 daysApr 25, 2025 02:31:01 ago (+1/-0)
That's because most people are in the lower 95% for cognition. Objectively, most personal issues have obvious causes. But human beings have difficulty with self-analysis because the self intervenes.
It's also objectively true that most therapists suck, because "lower 95%". Finding a (1) competent therapist with (2) actual skills and (3) effective techniques is difficult, at best. Even then, they have to have the personality type to match the client. There are skilled therapists out there, but most people are going to give up before lucking onto a 5%er who can meet their needs.
Hence: The human condition
The "human condition" refers to the essential characteristics and experiences that define human existence, encompassing both the positive and negative aspects of being human. It's a broad concept explored across various disciplines like philosophy, literature, and art. The term encompasses the universality of human emotions, aspirations, and the inherent challenges and limitations of life.
These "AI overviews" can evoke a broad range of emotional responses. There is some irony in a fake intelligence attempting to understand our behaviors and feelings. Especially when we take it seriously.
Eh. Maybe literally retarded people will have poor insight into their problems? I don’t know,
But I know for sure some very smart people have low self awareness. People use their highly developed cerebral cortex to justify their limbic impulses . The smarter the person, the more airtight the narratives they develop to validate their actions. If there is a positive correlation between IQ and self awareness, its not a strong one. People like dangus have psycho genes, genes identified in NPD. They are not the same genes associated with high IQ. Folks like that are incapable of seeing why they are disliked or even that they are disliked.
I suppose in the near future we will be using AI for therapists. And they will probably be better than the average therapist.
I did have a friend that went to a therapist that encouraged her to believe her dad molested her. I don’t want to describe the entire scenario: suffice it to say that I am convinced that she was never molested and that she wanted reasons to explain her problems, and she and the therapist sort of fed off each other to turn an abstract hypothesis into what she eventually asserted was a concrete memory. It was very disturbing to witness what amounted to voluntary self-brainwashing under the therapist’s guidance.
Just that I've never heard of a male therapist trying to turn couples on each other or break up marriages. I'm sure it happens, but it seems like this sort of behavior is more a female thing.
I do not believe this woman was trying to harm this friend’s relationship. The therapists that engage in this sort of suggestive recovered memory stuff are true believers. Besides the father had abandoned the family years earlier and had little or no contact with my friend or her siblings . It seems like this sort of behavior is more a male thing.
Most random people you encounter are in the lower 95%
So many people let feelings rule them rather than facts . Im a very skeptical person I think. Especially as I get older. My friend was very unhappy and wanted a reason to explain her problems. It seemed as though medical depression or the fact her father abandoned her were not reasons enough. She seemed to want to believe her dad molested her. She went from saying maybe she thought she remembered her dad touching her when he changed her diaper (age 2) to eventually asserting her dad definitely molested her. I was talking to her the entire time she was seeing this shrink. It was clear the therapist was validating what seemed to be her imaginings. She had three other sibs who never claimed to be molested. But everybody hated the dad so nobody pushed back on her crazy story. I didn’t even try to disabuse her because I knew she would just stop talking to me if I told her I didn’t believe her.
I do think there are people who get an emotional payoff from claiming they were molested . They get to feel special . They get to have reasons for being angry and sad — they get excuses for why their lives are a mess. I think the theory that sexual abuse causes many struggles later in life is probably an exagerated effect.
In any case, I believe she did herself alot of harm. She told me later that she had a hard time being sexual with a bf because she was always thinking about what her dad did to her. But of course she did it to herself. She “molested” herself! She was kind of a silly person. But she was nice. Suggestible, obviously.
Freud was a pervert many of his relatives were very much involved in brainwashing magnolium with a specific intent of brainwashing before I am at a time when international jury specifically organized large international plots such as creating the idea of Communism and other nonsense b******* to brainwash the goyum and get the goyum to secede control over their lives to the jews. If you're going to therapy you are giving control of your life to a therapist not only are you doing it in actuality but legally you're signing paperwork that if that therapist thanks and he wants to commit you you sign paperwork that says oh yeah I give this guy control over me and I agree to his medical advice and he can actually do that.
Mental health counseling is a masters degree program. Why would I go to hear the opinion of someone that’s steeped in six years of jewish guided indoctrination? “Be more faggy and here’s some serotonin reuptake inhibitors.”. That’ll be $3000 and your noticing is now officially documented.
You're exactly on point. People are afraid to smoke a joint and drink some bourbon and stare at a fire with friends. They'd rather have a random jew charge them thousands to fuck their brain chemistry up.
I have been yelling this at the top of my lungs forever and i've been called all sorts of nasty things from conservatives AND liberals, nasty things. Of course therapy is a scam created by Jews and white liberal feminists and the white liberal moms force their kids to go to therapists against their will. The kids have no say and get forced into going and then conditioned into thinking therapy is healthy.
The therapists all lie about the kids having Autism in particular and maybe BPD or Schizophrenia and peddle addicting medication that leaves their immune systems compromised and their sex drive destroyed and they all wonder why we have criminals and mass shooters. It's the Jew therapists and white liberal moms most of them single. Combined with the easy access to sick disturbing porn that glorifies 69 sexualities turns normal straight white kids into freaks whos genitalia is shredded from masturbation and their sexuality perverted and their word choices and catch phrases warped. I'd even go as far as to say that the therapists lead to the moms being single and divorcing and that creates a sense of abandonment in the kids so they seek their fathers in the people they choose as sexual partners and that causes more harm.
And then they become pedophiles and transgenders and even mass shooters. The filth being pushed in schools from teachers who physically restrain them and beat them and the school police officers who tazer and mace them doesn't help either. Almost like the CIA wanted all this to destroy and corrupt the children with their attempt at nationwide MKULTRA. I'm sure all the signals being pumped out from wifi is to blame to of course all the satellite signals and wifi signals and radio signals is hurting every ones minds too.
The evil Jew therapists and sinister CIA all have tools you've never seen or thought possible.
Don’t talk to anyone, as their personal bias and prejudices will come out through their talk and advice. Just do ayahuasca with a long, strict dieta before and a personal desire to make yourself better.
Oh yeah, ayahuasca, just as easy to obtain as an appointment with a therapist.
Some people don't have connections to people that have access to rather rare psychedelic drugs. You make it sound so simple. How would someone with no history of drug use go about doing this, Dingbat? Online shopping? Please.
I'm not even saying it's a bad idea. For me, it was mushrooms- took me from the darkest place I'd ever been and turned me right around. I hadn't truly laughed at anything in years, but now, it comes easily to me, after a heavy trip.
Not online shopping, obviously, but yes, you can find retreats and groups if you look in the right places. In my experience, Ayahuasca found me, I didn’t have to look anywhere. And if any niggerfaggot wants a group, DM me. I’ll do anything to help out a genuine niggerfaggot. P.S., I upvoated you because I’m happy to hear you found solace through psychedelics \o
"Solace" is too weak of a word, really. It's hard to put into words how much it changed me, just one macro dose.
They should be prescribing microdoses for people with depression instead of putting them on SSRIs and shit like that. When I was put on an SSRI many years ago for "depression", I wound up with suicidal ideations. I had never been suicidal before (or since). I couldn't stop thinking about death, ways of killing myself. I yearned for it, and I couldn't tell you why. I had plenty to live for, a nice girlfriend, doing great in school and athletics... But as soon as I got put on those pills, I wanted to die. It also lowered my libido, which was weird because I was a teenager.
I reported that to my doctor and they weened me off of the SSRI. After a few weeks, the suicidal thoughts completely fled my mind. I have to conclude that the pills caused this- after all, it is a known side effect for those pills.
More recently, I was feeling pretty depressed. Very low, hard to get out of bed in the morning sort of shit, always stuck in my own head. One hard trip fixed me. ONE. It's a fucking crime that these drugs aren't being used to treat people. Not everyone should macro dose, but all of the data on microdosing indicates that it's a VERY effective treatment for a huge variety of issues.
Your brain is physically changed when tripping on mushrooms or acid. New dendrites are formed- literally expanding your mind. It should be 100% legal.
Shrooms definitely make me more introspective and put me in the right state of mind for that sort of thing. Not sure about ayahuasca or DMT, haven't tried them. Haven't tried LSD either but anything the CIA is that interested in is probably a bad idea.
Mushrooms are better than LSD, IMO. But not by much, they're both fucking incredible.
I prefer making a tea out of mushrooms over anything else. The sheer bliss I feel when tripping... I don't drink, smoke, or do anything besides this on occasion. It's better than anything I've ever tried in my life.

Just saying….if you are in a low place again, please try to find an aya group. I feel like I did 5 years of (((therapy))) the first night I ever went through ceremony. I’ve done it 3 times since, and did one Huachuma ceremony to ground me again; all within 7 years. No plant medicine since April 2023 and feeling the best I ever have. I had significant childhood trauma and depression.
It's spring, every single decent day outside I go for a 10+ mile bike ride. Fresh air, cool breezes, warm sun, the smell of spring in the air. After the ride I feel refreshed and always get a good night of sleep. That and not eating any seed oils or ingredients I can't pronounce, is the best therapy in the entire world. Give that a try before paying some Kike to pretend a little bottle of pills will fix all your problems.
That's a weird variant of therapy. In reality, therapy is to analyze behaviors that produce unwanted results and seek replacements that function better.
Therapist hold sessions that are just long enough for you just to start talking about whatever the hell you want to talk about then they have to end the session and you go for the next week. It's the ultimate cliffhanger programming to get you to come back and pay over and over. They never want you to be cured of whatever is bothering you and they will eventually tell you that you're actually need therapy your whole life. They will tell you that you shouldn't talk to your friends because you're friends all have a self-interest and whatever they're telling to you so they're not really telling you things that you're interested but it their own meanwhile the therapist is the only one that's actually getting paid to tell you this stuff which is designed to get you to come back and keep paying the therapist so they're the ones with the most self-interest and the least likely to do something that would actually get you out of there and on your way feeling good.
furthermore the whole idea that somebody needs to go to a therapist to talk about anything that's deep and personal in the gates the whole idea of what real friends are. Those are the people you talk to that stuff about that's how you become real friends is when you're mutually discussing the deep decisions and conflicts of life and how to handle them. That's how you build true real massive great friendships in life.
Therapists are clerics in a religion. They aren’t all jewish although many are heavily influenced by jewish intellectual constructs.
You shouldn’t expect therapy to work like medical interventions. I think it can sometimes be useful if you have a good therapist who will give you some objective feedback. But they can’t fix your problems in the way that they claim they can. They often provide false hope.
They are like functionaries in any religion. Many will give you helpful advice. But their ideological framework is false.
If therapy worked so well, why do people see one for years and years? If a therapist were honest, he'd be more like a holistic md and find a person's nutritional deficiencies first. The mind can't work right if it is fueled with shit.
I think people seek therapy because they are lonely and have no one to talk to IRL.
Yeah, half of people's mental problems can be solved with proper nutrition, enough sleep at regular intervals. and not poisoning yourself with shit.
But staying up late drinking and doing drugs while eating junk food is fun in the short term, and most people have nigger tier decision making these days due to having their brains poisoned.
If therapy worked so well, why do people see one for years and years?
They don’t. I hope thats not what you thought I was saying.
If a therapist were honest, he'd be more like a holistic md and find a person's nutritional deficiencies first. The mind can't work right if it is fueled with shit.
But just like religious functionaries, therapists are true believers in their system. After studying this shit for years and years and charging patients, they don’t want to believe themselves that they are useless or sometimes harmful. Its very hard for someone to come to that conclusion when they are so deeply invested in a system.
I think people seek therapy because they are lonely and have no one to talk to IRL.
In some cases, but people do need objective advice about their problem and friends and family are usually bad at that.
I was making an observation about people who rely on therapists. For way too long. Guess my family is a bit different. We share some brutal truths along with soothing understanding. Mind you, we aren't perfect, but it's some sort of shelter from the storm.
Then you don't know, do you? You don't think a parent can have their own child's best interest at heart? You don't think a parent can't see or hear their offspring? Parents give beneficial, objective advice to their children everyday. The problem is do they listen?
I think she's saying objectivity and having your child's best interests at heart are two different things. Parents are often very invested in their children, but the fact that they care so much makes it hard to be objective, not hard to care.
I dont need to have children to know parents are incapable of being objective about their children.
You don't think a parent can have their own child's best interest at heart?
Maybe they do, maybe they don’t . Thats irrelevant and a strawman. Im talking about objectivity.
Parents give beneficial, objective advice to their children everyday.
You are not even capable of being objective about what parents are like, let alone children. This is not a particularly true statement and I don’t think most people would strongly agree with it.
Don’t be obtuse
Well this is a very cogent, logical argument. Im wrong because Im stupid, eh? Very impressive reasoning.
Childless, alcoholic gonna go there? What's it like knowing you will end up in state facility being abused by darkies?
So while I am living a life with my children around me, who, by the way, seek my advice even as highly-sucessful, active, happy people, I KNOW of what I speak. I do feel sorry for you and know you can't help but want to be right about everything because that is all you have.
Agreed and that’s something I’ve said for years too, including the part about the entire field of psychology being a jewish field of science, which is basically all about honing their psychological manipulation skills. I disagree with the meditation part though…..there are 3 main reasons why people get depressed: 1) depressed because they don’t feel like they’re a part of anything. 2) depressed because they feel like they haven’t accomplished anything of value. 3) depressed because they aren’t passionate about anything, or rather, they haven’t figured out what they’re passionate about yet.
All of these things are about giving your life purpose beyond meeting your own base needs. If you don’t have a purpose in life, you feel useless or unfulfilled, which leads to depression and anxiety. You can’t fix any of that with medication, you sure as fuck can’t pay a jew to fix your problems, and I seriously doubt meditation would help much either. You have to give your life purpose, seek out a romantic relationship, create/build something, make friends with random people, join the church or find other Christians to at least talk to, do something that makes yourself useful to somebody other than yourself so you can sit back and say I helped somebody who needed it, people do need me when I reach out. Sitting on your ass in silence thinking about things might help you figure out what needs to be changed, but it’s that whole sitting on your ass part that’s fucking everything up in the first place. Get off your ass, stop being inactive and take the wheel toward creating desperately needed changes in your life.
Yea... I'm truly fucked up from what I've done and been through.
I figured dating a therapist would be decent for at least having some tolerance or understanding when I wasn't feeling good. But it's the opposite, at least with her. She would always do the exact opposite of what I needed from her like it was intentional.
I went to a few couples therapy appointments and realized they weren't helping me do anything I couldn't do alone. Having someone in the conversation just stopped the broad from going off the rails and making up lies and intentionally misunderstanding things to get angry.
When I went to solo therapy the guy was surprised constantly that I was so self aware and able to articulate my exact problems. I didn't get the feeling that he was going to teach me anything practical. I guess they just hope they can convince stupid people they have a problem or listen to people whinge about their jobs or relationships.
I really don't understand the point if you're not retarded. My main goal now is to get medicated for anger and anxiety etc. I'm smart enough to work out the rest on my own.
I've always found it wild that people will take incredibly powerful mind altering drugs that can have serious side effects, including suicide. When there's a plant you can consume that's better in every way and practically harmless in small amounts for short periods of use.

Most therapists are just 9 to 5ers that don't give a shit about your problems. They have 0 interest in making a change in your life and don't even understand what the real issue is, let alone care.
Most therapy can't even fix shit, it's there to make someone easy money at the expense of someone else being in a bad situation. It thrives on suffering. You can't therapy away a bad economy, an abusive childhood, a chemical addiction or create friends. In a way they are your paid friends. It's a form of mental prostitution. You pay them money, they pretend to be your friend. Then they take a new client and so on.
I have gone to many and all but one were completely fucking useless, overeducated, pseudo-intellectual idiots. The most useful one was a down to earth woman that offered strong, simple, practical advice and wasn't a feminist.
At the end of the day, read a story about real suffering like genocide, war or some shit and you will realize your problems pale in comparison and those people found a way to carry on. Life is shit then you die. If you die most won't care and some will celebrate. Don't kill yourself because that will make some asshole happy. They don't deserve it. Stay alive, be a pain in the ass.

Replace therapists with priests and therapy with confession. Worked for a thousand and so years. You are wired genetically to it because its what your ancestors did (that is, if you are White). See the British and the meme about their two-facedness? They abandoned God first amongst all the Western Europeans. Cause and effect.
I worked on a mental hospital in Dallas from 95-2000. I saw a shift from behavioral therapy based on choices and consequences to feelings and self esteem based therapy. It was weird. One day I just noticed, "Where did all these fucking hippies come from, and what is all this feelings bullshit?"
I got out of mental health altogether after that. All they were trying to do was make people better leftists and that was 25 years ago. I can't imagine how much worse it's gotten since then.
Actually that's not true at all. Therapy is supposed to be a medical intervention. Life skills are taught by life coaches and other success coaches and when I say success I don't just mean shady monetary success coaches I mean regular people who know the skills about self improvement how to handle problems how to talk to other people etc none of those things are covered by a medical degree and therapy and they are not therapy.
I agree with this 90% of therapy is bullshit. Strong psychedelics are also enormously beneficial in tough PTSD cases. I do believe in therapy for PTSD, but that is more instructional - teaching the person grounding techniques to keep them in reality.
Therapy is instructional. You're doing something wrong and disliking your results. So you go to a therapist (the rapist!) for them to run a diagnostic to identify your faulty behavior, and hopefully correct it. Skill levels and intentions vary though, so you can't just "go to a therapist". You need to find one with skills who is the right personality match for you.
This is exactly the point that OP missed. Therapy is meant to teach you the tools on how to be a better person. It's there to teach you inter/intrapersonal skills your family failed to teach you as a child.
Whether or not it would ideally do this, and whether the jews teaching it think that's the purpose are two different things. OP's point is that today's therapists are trained by jews to keep you in a victimhood mentality and make sure you keep coming back for medication.

I understand many people have this experience with therapists. That hasn't been my experience at all, but maybe it's because I told them I won't take meds.
I think an issue arises when a person with low self awareness encounters a therapist with an axe to grind we end with a psychotic break and injures/damage to property.
Almost every aspect of what therapy teaches the stoics wrote about before christianity. One if the biggest fails of western civilization was getting tricked by sand nigger Abrahamhemic religions if we had stuck with philosophy the idea of allowing niggers or jews into our societies would never have happend
Just talk with your priest if you're having problems in your life. He cares about you, deals with lots of people problems and isn't there to scam a hourly rate. So much better if you've had a good relationship with him and the church your whole life so he knows you personally.
This is naive. Priests have a salary too. Some of them do pretty well. Like therapists they claim to have the answers but I don’t see them succeeding in their claims. Priests are just like therapists. Some of them care about you and some don’t . Neither group are able to deliver on their claims. They both try to get you to believe in their systems of salvation and when their approach doesn’t work, they will give you similar excuses for why it failed.
Neither religion nor psychotherapy can save you because neither is based on the truth.
Make it easy. Freud was exposed fast as charlatan by normal psychiatrists and psychologists. Just look up when he was reinstated as a serious member by the psychiatry & psychology board. As simple as it gets. Look up the date.
None of the people here understand therapy or they had their minds made up before they even started.
Wife, kiddo, and myself are in family council. Our reasons are because we don't know how to make friends these days. No joke in that anyone we meet is all about doing shit till it comes to doing it.
This is with anything. Or they are alcoholics and it's gotten so bad that wife and I think it is us and we want better for our kid.
Plus there are just things the kid won't talk to us about, it's how humans are. However he will speak to the therapist. She has helped me with PTSD, helped my wife with depression, and the kid to ask himself the right questions because I know that i can't help him with everything.
Best of all this is all free and paid for by our taxes.
It isnt so much mental problems, it is more that they will provide a different perspective on the problems you are facing. The one we go to doesn't ever offer prescription based solutions.
Too many people have made up their minds on what it is as far as treatment they will get based solely on pride. I know the person we see has helped us tremendously but I get that others likely won't benefit the same way.
I guess the takeaway is that therapists don't fix your problems, but a good one will show you tools to help you fix your own problems.
If someone doesn't have the drive to help themselves, a therapist functioning as a mentor for self-help techniques will effectively do nothing for that person.
That's all assuming a good therapist mentoring in a useful way. The problem is that even with the motivation for someone to help themselves, the source of the disregulation might be something like financial trouble etc. which is better addressed by seeking out a mentor from that specialty.
People skills and not being able to make friends? So long as the therapist themselves has many friends and good people skills, you could gleam some of that off of them as a mentee.
At that point the therapist could be acting outside of their role strictly as a therapist, not entirely clear.
Quality mentorship is a good thing. I'm not knocking that. But the technique therapists nominally use can be found in written material. Very cookie cutter. If someone's goal is to understand those techniques they could simply hunt down the material and read/absorb it themselves. Why not just cut out the middleman?
I get the sense that you got a therapist that goes above and beyond, maybe to the point of genuinely caring about your family. That isn't the optimistic picture everyone gets. The field is plagued by man-hating feminists and wokists that will be professional on the surface but underneath that hate your guts for basically just having the audacity to be a man with Christian values. Not all therapist-client relationships are a good one. And the free ones covered by taxes sure aren't going to be ones that share Christian values.
And on top of that, the sessions create therapist notes that can show up in legal processes later. Using the service potentially creates a liability. You really want someone that hates your guts to be describing you in an official record?
All this said, I'm happy that you got a good one. It sounds like you are appropriately using the therapist as a mentoring service instead of an occasional momentary pressure release valve. I hope you continue to endeavour to help yourself and God willing find success in that.
However in my experience a therapist would simply ask why one would harm themselves and get the person to reflect as to the cause as to taking control and forcing their hand away.
People are complex creatures that are easier to get lasting change when they realize the issue themselves.
For instance before I started seeing one i would have just bottled up all my frustration with shit and just held it in till I acted in a way that would have got resolve but at great consequences to myself.
Now i realize that people don't see shit like I see it. They see it as well this doesn't effect me now so I don't have to give a fuck.
So getting them to recognize it does effect them and here is how, that helps them to action....sometimes.

For men, sharing your emotions with women is a peak sign of weakness. This is also pure biology. AKA, the "shit test" theories.
Women seek validation from therapy, and drugs to make their cope easier.

It's also objectively true that most therapists suck, because "lower 95%". Finding a (1) competent therapist with (2) actual skills and (3) effective techniques is difficult, at best. Even then, they have to have the personality type to match the client. There are skilled therapists out there, but most people are going to give up before lucking onto a 5%er who can meet their needs.
Hence: The human condition
These "AI overviews" can evoke a broad range of emotional responses. There is some irony in a fake intelligence attempting to understand our behaviors and feelings. Especially when we take it seriously.

Eh. Maybe literally retarded people will have poor insight into their problems? I don’t know,
But I know for sure some very smart people have low self awareness. People use their highly developed cerebral cortex to justify their limbic impulses . The smarter the person, the more airtight the narratives they develop to validate their actions. If there is a positive correlation between IQ and self awareness, its not a strong one. People like dangus have psycho genes, genes identified in NPD. They are not the same genes associated with high IQ. Folks like that are incapable of seeing why they are disliked or even that they are disliked.
I suppose in the near future we will be using AI for therapists. And they will probably be better than the average therapist.

So many people let feelings rule them rather than facts . Im a very skeptical person I think. Especially as I get older. My friend was very unhappy and wanted a reason to explain her problems. It seemed as though medical depression or the fact her father abandoned her were not reasons enough. She seemed to want to believe her dad molested her. She went from saying maybe she thought she remembered her dad touching her when he changed her diaper (age 2) to eventually asserting her dad definitely molested her. I was talking to her the entire time she was seeing this shrink. It was clear the therapist was validating what seemed to be her imaginings. She had three other sibs who never claimed to be molested. But everybody hated the dad so nobody pushed back on her crazy story. I didn’t even try to disabuse her because I knew she would just stop talking to me if I told her I didn’t believe her.
I do think there are people who get an emotional payoff from claiming they were molested . They get to feel special . They get to have reasons for being angry and sad — they get excuses for why their lives are a mess. I think the theory that sexual abuse causes many struggles later in life is probably an exagerated effect.
In any case, I believe she did herself alot of harm. She told me later that she had a hard time being sexual with a bf because she was always thinking about what her dad did to her. But of course she did it to herself. She “molested” herself! She was kind of a silly person. But she was nice. Suggestible, obviously.

The therapists all lie about the kids having Autism in particular and maybe BPD or Schizophrenia and peddle addicting medication that leaves their immune systems compromised and their sex drive destroyed and they all wonder why we have criminals and mass shooters. It's the Jew therapists and white liberal moms most of them single. Combined with the easy access to sick disturbing porn that glorifies 69 sexualities turns normal straight white kids into freaks whos genitalia is shredded from masturbation and their sexuality perverted and their word choices and catch phrases warped.
I'd even go as far as to say that the therapists lead to the moms being single and divorcing and that creates a sense of abandonment in the kids so they seek their fathers in the people they choose as sexual partners and that causes more harm.
And then they become pedophiles and transgenders and even mass shooters. The filth being pushed in schools from teachers who physically restrain them and beat them and the school police officers who tazer and mace them doesn't help either. Almost like the CIA wanted all this to destroy and corrupt the children with their attempt at nationwide MKULTRA. I'm sure all the signals being pumped out from wifi is to blame to of course all the satellite signals and wifi signals and radio signals is hurting every ones minds too.
The evil Jew therapists and sinister CIA all have tools you've never seen or thought possible.

They should be prescribing microdoses for people with depression instead of putting them on SSRIs and shit like that. When I was put on an SSRI many years ago for "depression", I wound up with suicidal ideations. I had never been suicidal before (or since). I couldn't stop thinking about death, ways of killing myself. I yearned for it, and I couldn't tell you why. I had plenty to live for, a nice girlfriend, doing great in school and athletics... But as soon as I got put on those pills, I wanted to die. It also lowered my libido, which was weird because I was a teenager.
I reported that to my doctor and they weened me off of the SSRI. After a few weeks, the suicidal thoughts completely fled my mind. I have to conclude that the pills caused this- after all, it is a known side effect for those pills.
More recently, I was feeling pretty depressed. Very low, hard to get out of bed in the morning sort of shit, always stuck in my own head. One hard trip fixed me. ONE. It's a fucking crime that these drugs aren't being used to treat people. Not everyone should macro dose, but all of the data on microdosing indicates that it's a VERY effective treatment for a huge variety of issues.
Your brain is physically changed when tripping on mushrooms or acid. New dendrites are formed- literally expanding your mind. It should be 100% legal.

furthermore the whole idea that somebody needs to go to a therapist to talk about anything that's deep and personal in the gates the whole idea of what real friends are. Those are the people you talk to that stuff about that's how you become real friends is when you're mutually discussing the deep decisions and conflicts of life and how to handle them. That's how you build true real massive great friendships in life.

You shouldn’t expect therapy to work like medical interventions. I think it can sometimes be useful if you have a good therapist who will give you some objective feedback. But they can’t fix your problems in the way that they claim they can. They often provide false hope.
They are like functionaries in any religion. Many will give you helpful advice. But their ideological framework is false.

They don’t. I hope thats not what you thought I was saying.
But just like religious functionaries, therapists are true believers in their system. After studying this shit for years and years and charging patients, they don’t want to believe themselves that they are useless or sometimes harmful. Its very hard for someone to come to that conclusion when they are so deeply invested in a system.
In some cases, but people do need objective advice about their problem and friends and family are usually bad at that.

1) depressed because they don’t feel like they’re a part of anything.
2) depressed because they feel like they haven’t accomplished anything of value.
3) depressed because they aren’t passionate about anything, or rather, they haven’t figured out what they’re passionate about yet.
All of these things are about giving your life purpose beyond meeting your own base needs. If you don’t have a purpose in life, you feel useless or unfulfilled, which leads to depression and anxiety. You can’t fix any of that with medication, you sure as fuck can’t pay a jew to fix your problems, and I seriously doubt meditation would help much either. You have to give your life purpose, seek out a romantic relationship, create/build something, make friends with random people, join the church or find other Christians to at least talk to, do something that makes yourself useful to somebody other than yourself so you can sit back and say I helped somebody who needed it, people do need me when I reach out. Sitting on your ass in silence thinking about things might help you figure out what needs to be changed, but it’s that whole sitting on your ass part that’s fucking everything up in the first place. Get off your ass, stop being inactive and take the wheel toward creating desperately needed changes in your life.

I figured dating a therapist would be decent for at least having some tolerance or understanding when I wasn't feeling good. But it's the opposite, at least with her. She would always do the exact opposite of what I needed from her like it was intentional.
I went to a few couples therapy appointments and realized they weren't helping me do anything I couldn't do alone. Having someone in the conversation just stopped the broad from going off the rails and making up lies and intentionally misunderstanding things to get angry.
When I went to solo therapy the guy was surprised constantly that I was so self aware and able to articulate my exact problems. I didn't get the feeling that he was going to teach me anything practical. I guess they just hope they can convince stupid people they have a problem or listen to people whinge about their jobs or relationships.
I really don't understand the point if you're not retarded. My main goal now is to get medicated for anger and anxiety etc. I'm smart enough to work out the rest on my own.

Most therapy can't even fix shit, it's there to make someone easy money at the expense of someone else being in a bad situation. It thrives on suffering. You can't therapy away a bad economy, an abusive childhood, a chemical addiction or create friends. In a way they are your paid friends. It's a form of mental prostitution. You pay them money, they pretend to be your friend. Then they take a new client and so on.
I have gone to many and all but one were completely fucking useless, overeducated, pseudo-intellectual idiots. The most useful one was a down to earth woman that offered strong, simple, practical advice and wasn't a feminist.
At the end of the day, read a story about real suffering like genocide, war or some shit and you will realize your problems pale in comparison and those people found a way to carry on. Life is shit then you die. If you die most won't care and some will celebrate. Don't kill yourself because that will make some asshole happy. They don't deserve it. Stay alive, be a pain in the ass.

Wife, kiddo, and myself are in family council. Our reasons are because we don't know how to make friends these days. No joke in that anyone we meet is all about doing shit till it comes to doing it.
This is with anything. Or they are alcoholics and it's gotten so bad that wife and I think it is us and we want better for our kid.
Plus there are just things the kid won't talk to us about, it's how humans are. However he will speak to the therapist. She has helped me with PTSD, helped my wife with depression, and the kid to ask himself the right questions because I know that i can't help him with everything.
Best of all this is all free and paid for by our taxes.

If someone doesn't have the drive to help themselves, a therapist functioning as a mentor for self-help techniques will effectively do nothing for that person.
That's all assuming a good therapist mentoring in a useful way. The problem is that even with the motivation for someone to help themselves, the source of the disregulation might be something like financial trouble etc. which is better addressed by seeking out a mentor from that specialty.
People skills and not being able to make friends? So long as the therapist themselves has many friends and good people skills, you could gleam some of that off of them as a mentee.
At that point the therapist could be acting outside of their role strictly as a therapist, not entirely clear.
Quality mentorship is a good thing. I'm not knocking that. But the technique therapists nominally use can be found in written material. Very cookie cutter. If someone's goal is to understand those techniques they could simply hunt down the material and read/absorb it themselves. Why not just cut out the middleman?
I get the sense that you got a therapist that goes above and beyond, maybe to the point of genuinely caring about your family. That isn't the optimistic picture everyone gets. The field is plagued by man-hating feminists and wokists that will be professional on the surface but underneath that hate your guts for basically just having the audacity to be a man with Christian values. Not all therapist-client relationships are a good one. And the free ones covered by taxes sure aren't going to be ones that share Christian values.
And on top of that, the sessions create therapist notes that can show up in legal processes later. Using the service potentially creates a liability. You really want someone that hates your guts to be describing you in an official record?
All this said, I'm happy that you got a good one. It sounds like you are appropriately using the therapist as a mentoring service instead of an occasional momentary pressure release valve. I hope you continue to endeavour to help yourself and God willing find success in that.

However in my experience a therapist would simply ask why one would harm themselves and get the person to reflect as to the cause as to taking control and forcing their hand away.
People are complex creatures that are easier to get lasting change when they realize the issue themselves.
For instance before I started seeing one i would have just bottled up all my frustration with shit and just held it in till I acted in a way that would have got resolve but at great consequences to myself.
Now i realize that people don't see shit like I see it. They see it as well this doesn't effect me now so I don't have to give a fuck.
So getting them to recognize it does effect them and here is how, that helps them to action....sometimes.
