Of all of the ways I was traumatized and retraumatized by my former therapist, the one that hurts the most is that he won’t acknowledge any of it, and he won’t apologize. Because of that, there will always be a part of me that doubts my own reality.
This is what happened to me.
There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest about what they’ve done to you. Let them go.
If we believe something that leads to egregious mistakes & irreversible consequences We’re likely to double down on the belief rather than recognizing the mistake & reconsidering the belief In social psychology, it’s called cognitive dissonance Apply this insight as you wish
When the concept of love has been intertwined from one's earliest days with the experience of pain, a person will come to expect pain where there is love, and when there is no pain, they will act in ways to create it. This is what Wachtel calls cyclical psychodynamics.
I used to think being called resilient was the ultimate compliment. But on the other side of trauma, I now see it for what it is: not a prize, but a scar.
Well, when you put it that way...makes perfect sense!

A diagnosis is a tool, like a knife, it's usefulness or destructiveness depends upon the user and their mastery, expertise and wisdom to wield the tool and employ it mindfully.
“You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person in the world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.” Paul Auster.
The idea that therapy is too expensive is a notion health insurance companies promote to protect their profits. Most likely, your therapist needs a raise.

It is interior experience that has the information and causal power to heal. A poem is medicinal because it transforms unconscious elements into intelligible language to understand more clearly, more deeply, more authentically. A good poem is far from grandiloquent abstraction.
"For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)--they are experiences." Good morning from Rilke's The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Bridge (Mitchell translation)
@FinlanMich14474 @MarkLRuffalo Yeah, I got that. But they have mega more training or should be to deal with all sorts of ppl. It comes down to professionals not being trained well or trained by who, what modality. Or their own trauma hasn’t been dealt with.
@MarkLRuffalo I can only imagine the extreme torment she was in. You show case these ppl for what reason? Would you tell us a story about someone with extreme pain from cancer and what they said to their physician? I don’t think so.
@seanluomdphd @MarkLRuffalo I think when people can make sense of what people do they bring understanding. When they see people as manipulative, attention seeking, sabotaging etc they treat them very differently.
Or to put it metaphorically (and a bit hokey), cognitivism implies all psychological problems boil down to having a little critical thinking scientist inside of your brain who is making mistakes and needs skills and training. Whereas, perhaps what is missing is a confident artist
@JoshuaLisec Men will literally write shit like this instead of go to therapy.
@thatPsychPA Thank you for reading! Maladaptive daydreaming is more common than people know. It’s really overlooked, even clinically.
@JennMGreenberg It’s true. My pastor convinced me to get off meds for my MDD & OCD bc taking it wasn’t trusting God & it nearly killed me. Nearly 4 yrs later, therapy & meds literally saved my life. I thank God every day for the therapists who showed me Jesus’ love & compassion in my despair.
@JennMGreenberg As someone who used to be one of those Christians believing mental illness & psychology was a farce, I am grateful for God’s grace and mercy. I think someone(s) out there were praying for me because life turned for me when I started going to therapy, and now I’m a therapist.
If you’ve found a way to feel “enlivened” in your work as a psychotherapist, I’m happy for you. But unless it also helps patients, I don’t really care.Ted Bundy also found a way to feel “alive”in relationships, but it wasn’t very helpful to those around him.
@Irreverent_Tx Interesting deep dive! I’m curious about which states you assessed as being more punitive vs lenient.
@MarkLRuffalo @canadahiker Treating psych problems you don’t understand can be dangerous for the therapist as well as the client.
There are certain words I wish we could jettison in psychoanalytic theory. "Transference" and "countertransference" for example. These unfortunate words have trained us for decades to think of them as two separate, perhaps dueling processes. "Intersubjective field" is better.
You may never know why they hurt you. But, those unknowns are theirs to carry. This is hard to let go of, but necessary for your health. Your healing is not in hearing their answer. Your healing is mending what feels broken. It is in how you let go of what is not yours to carry.
