This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That is one shitty therapist

Lots of shit therapists out there.

A friend of mine, his ex-wife's therapist encouraged her to have an affair. An old highschool fling reached out to her, and she was essentially perpetually stuck in highschool due to some intense trauma around that age. Therapist said to go for it.

Always look at a potential spouse's friends before getting married. Do they cheat, slack off, and just generally kind of suck? Your spouse-to-be will almost certainly follow their example. I say this because most people's "therapist" are their friends and if their friends are maladjusted assholes you can probably expect more of the same.

I had the exact same conversation with mine, when I was 20.

It's hard to believe that you'll have a better experience elsewhere, especially when you have already spent hundreds of € on that one.

Say no to therapists, say yes to callgirls. They charge less too.

She thinks you’re hot anon. Bang your therapist

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago

No, that therapist is. There are shitty people in every profession.

When your therapist is trying to trick you into labelling yourself an incel.

Well, yes, what did you expect?

Men: never go to a female therapist, they will NEVER be able to understand you from a man’s perspective. All they see is abundance, with men chasing them and paying attention to them, and will never understand how few choices those men in the bottom-80% are left with.

I feel like I need to say that if this was your experience you had a really shit therapist and deserve better. I've felt like this with a therapist before and it's terrible. It's ok to drop a therapist over this and try a different one.

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 80 points 1 week ago

Seem like just opening up to a friend and them questioning things. Doesn't sound like a proper therapist.

Find a better therapist. Just because someone goes to school and gets a professional credential doesn't mean they don't suck at their job.

Why talk to a professional when I can simply talk to my very normal, very mentally healthy anons on the green text site?

Probably fake, but a therapist should never say anything like that. I'm in my 30's and a virigin, and no doctor, therapist, etc., has ever asked me anything close to that. And if they did, I'd be searching for a new therapist. Wouldn't even finish the session.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The older ones tend to still think that way.

One of my previous psychiatrists got kicked out being the head of his department because he was using his position to lobby heavily to keep Asexuality in the the DSM.

Mine was 30 maximum, I was 20. It's not about age, it's about always getting what you wanted when you wanted it; then you don't understand how it might not work like that for others.

Even if it's not fake, in every other instance, if you have a bad dentist who says shit that makes you uncomfortable, you get a new dentist, happens every day, bad dentists get bad reviews and open shitty practices in bad neighborhoods and people expect the care to be substandard. Rarely do you even hear stories about that kind of thing because people have normalized dental care.

The fact that this shit is controversial shows just how far we have to go before people start taking their fucking minds seriously. You know, only the most important part of your physical, living experience.

Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I've ever heard a therapist say.

I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
