A good therapist will not tell you what they think your issue is.
You ever met a healthy therapist? I sure haven’t
Sometimes I’m not sure if we’re doing therapy sessions or dual worry sessions but you know what it’s probably fine
Yeah that’s not good. The good therapists I’ve had definitely had some crazy that was visible below the surface and I could tell when I hit on something that they worry about, but they kept it under control and never made my session about themselves.
It’s therapists in social situations where you see the real crazy in them
It’s not that they really make it about themselves, they just validate my feelings by confirming they too have feelings about all of everything that is awful. It helps me feel better and less alone so it works for me. Different strokes and all.
Psychotherapists are conceptually like if your car broke down constantly and every mechanic told you they don’t know what’s wrong so you went to get a degree in mechanical engineering so you can do it yourself. It didn’t help, but you still have the degree now so might as well put it to use and help people with actually solvable problems lol.
I was interested in the field until I realized this.
Well they let the damaged people come to them I guess
