Hello, it has occurred to me that a lot of us really have had horrible experiences with therapists and the psychology field in general. This thread is to discuss exactly that, either from personal experience or the way people have seemingly gotten worse after "therapy" (like Pixielocks). Discuss away.

therapy is not real and never will be, it’s essentially paying for a friend to vent to who will slap random titles onto your problems and call it a “diagnosis”

Any therapy other than CBT and DBT are bullshit cons. Those modalities are proven to help people get outside of negative thought patterns and communicate better. They teach you strategies to rewire your brain, with the goal of discontinuing the therapy at some point. That way you don’t continue to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for someone to listen to you vent for 50 minutes. But honestly it’s not surprising that people seek out those useless talk therapists. People are so lonely these days and don’t have real friends to talk to.

God I wish I'd had your old therapist. I tried to tell a therapist about my body image issues and she immediately tried to "affirm" me and asked my pronouns and it was so confusing and horrible. I've had a lot of therapists and they've all just mindlessly yassed at everything I did and thought. I had therapists that were highly rated and recommended, therapists that specialized in different things, but they all had that "therapyspeak" style of talking that I can't stand where they were encouraging me to have my friends "make space" and shit and I felt like they all tried to be too friendly. It didn't feel like a detached doctor/patient relationship, it felt like they were trying to coddle me.
>>1930500
I sometimes feel like the people who shill talk therapy the hardest are just people who want someone to vent to, and I suspect that's become a huge clientele base. Which I get, especially because so many women have emotionally retarded husbands and no time to make close friendships, but I feel like they need something totally different than I do. CBT was honestly not helpful for me at all, and EMDR especially wasn't, but DBT was. Therapy feels like a huge YMMV thing, and the more inconvenient/messy your problems are, the harder it will be to find a good therapist.

Don’t live in Florida, but did work in insurance. The general risk of the state is pretty fucking high with all the weather events, so that sure as hell isn’t helping your premium.

lol, no. He rarely leaves his mansion when he’s here. He only goes out to play golf. I don’t even think he goes to any local restaurants. He lives on whatever his private chef prepares for him. In order to see him, you need to be a member of his club, which costs around $250k. He will sometimes crash weddings, too, if they are held at the club. It’s always crawling with Republicans now, though, since they all try to kiss his ass.

Ghislaine Maxwell used to procure girls for Jeffrey Epstein at the local high schools. All the girls, as far as I know, were white and attractive but came from poorer families. Some of them worked at Mar a Lago, too. There are a lot of billionaires around here, so probably a lot of sex trafficking. There are grown women here who go to certain restaurants and bars strictly to try to bag a rich man. A family member is one, married a polo player for husband #3. They live in a different world than me, essentially. Casey Anthony also lives in the area - she likes dating cops and got into a bar fight a few years back. I haven’t heard about her in a while, so she may have moved on.

Sorry to derail the thread. This is all very Florida trash. There are so many nice people here, but too many crazies. I miss the Florida I grew up in, but I think it’s gone forever now. I’d get a fortune for my place, but where else would I go?

I am definitely not even close to rich. I just happen to live close to rich people. The island people like Trump and Epstein live a very sequestered life with their own restaurants, spas, shops, and golf courses. Even Epstein lived in a “new money” area of the island, away from the historic areas with the generationally wealthy. They fly on their private planes directly into the airport or sail into the marina on their yachts, then are driven directly to their mansions without associating with us peons. Florida has traditionally been a playground for the rich, especially New York rich.

It's the Royal College of Art in London so it's a pretty reputable school (despite past controversies). From what I've read they don't offer the Graduate Diplomas to just anyone either and it's still an in-person studio experience. I think just having a space to work on my portfolio could be a massive plus, and at the end of the program if I do well enough I can get into their MA program.

Honestly it probably won't be a huge career boost, but if you're not taking out big loans and don't think the break will make it hard to return to a job then why not? London's a very fun place if you're young and have money.

That's kinda funny because I saw Freya in God of War and that made interested in hand tats.
