That's beyond fucked up, they should have their licence and degree taken away IMMEDIATELY. A children's psychologist told me at 15 that I was going through too much (also suicidal) and couldn't be helped and I will never get that out of my head. I don't know if therapy can fix that kind of thing 😅

2025-03-20 12:25:33 +0000 UTCI’ve been broken up with by a therapist because she couldn’t handle that I was suicidal. Looking back, she was a bad therapist in other ways though. She said she specializes in PTSD but she was soooo bad.

2024-02-24 10:28:35 +0000 UTCA good therapist will hold someone accountable! 100%. People go to therapy to learn their blind spots, so the therapist has to do that. But I have thought about that and it is gross and also they’re likely not even telling the whole truth.

2024-02-24 10:26:52 +0000 UTCMy sister was dumped by her therapist once! She essentially was like "I can't continue working with you if you refuse to put any of the work in the get better" or something like that, bc they'd been working together for years and my sister was still up to the same bullshit

2024-01-09 06:10:09 +0000 UTCi have had 2 therapists tell me they can no longer see me. The first was because she simply was not knowledgable enough about my specific therapeutic needs, and recommended me many many of her collegues who she thought would benefit me more. THE OTHER TIME my therapist was flat out like no I wont see you anymore because I was just genuinely too much for her i think. Anyway. DBT is magical and wonderful and I recommend it to everyone.

2024-01-08 14:36:40 +0000 UTCI'm one of those kids where my mom cheated on my dad, I found out thru snooping on her phone (my bad lol), and then she told me I'd break up the family if I said anything so I kept the secret for YEARS before I finally told my dad, only after she cheated again. They're still very unhappily together to this day. Not fun but it happens lol

Heather von Tater
2024-01-02 19:51:28 +0000 UTCi think an idea for a channel in the discord about mental health could be like a "venting/mental health" channel. I've seen it in a couple other places where the rule is that you can vent, but no one is allowed to give advice, only care and empathy/kind words that kinda stuff

2024-01-01 05:18:13 +0000 UTCIt would an -isms section Yes therapists can refuse to treat people. Therapists are allowed to tell people what they've done is wrong. They are even allowed to be super straight forward just most aren't like that. Every one is different. Therapists don't just try to make them understand why it happened, they're meant to help prevent new things from happening as well. (and obviously coping skills) Just knowing why you did something doesnt prevent you from doing it. That being said, therapists who treat actual criminals are trained differently than your regular everyday therapist. They can be more straight forward because criminals (generally) respect that more. Edit: oh yeah i have a b.s in forensic psychology

2023-12-31 05:27:24 +0000 UTCYeah, I'm 30 and for deaths of people I knew in high school, it's really weird. Like, you kind of expect the ones that are ODs, but you never really expect suicide or people getting hit by cars. It really stings when the ones that you knew had a family with kids. Crazy to think about, but that's just life I guess.

Aaron Forbes
2023-12-29 07:18:14 +0000 UTCRegarding the scenario you described about "awful people" and their experience in therapy If you believe other people are receiving unconditional positive feedback from their therapists without being appropriately challenged, or without receiving honest negative feedback when necessary, do you feel that you are also receiving the same treatment as well? Or to put it in other words, is it possible the substandard therapeutic treatment from your scenario is a reflection of how you perceive you are being treated by your therapist? Just a thought that occurred to me when watching, because my understanding of therapy and my personal experience with it are very different from what you were describing in that scenario. That difference in how we perceive therapy is also why I disagree with the idea that awful people don't deserve therapy, because I don't view therapeutic care to be only positive and affirmative in nature. As for the idea of therapists only choosing to treat "good" people, while I respect therapists' right to refuse treatment for any reason, I hope that they make that decision based on whether or not they believe they can help the patient, rather than refusing to see anyone they personally dislike.

2023-12-29 06:11:26 +0000 UTCi dont wanna be annoying but the narrative that homophobes are just secretly gay is harmful, i understand people joke. but majority of homophobes are just privileged cishet people who wish to oppress and enact violence against those who are different than them. That narrative pushes the blame on queer people as an in-community issue rather than holding straight people accountable for harm and violence they do. its kinda like passing the blame to avoid acknowledging the oppressors violence. dont get me wrong, i also make this kind of joke sometimes as a queer person, i just wanna make sure no one actually believes that all homophobic people are secretly gay, and as they mentioned, this kind of narrative doesnt work for other forms of oppression(racism, abliesm etc) because its simply not true that those harming marginalised communities are the communities themselves. idk if this makes sense at all. also disclaimer im not trying to be mean, annoying, accusatory or anything, im just writing my thoughts in hopes to inform if needed. Also completely unrelated but therapists can drop clients for whatever reason, and they should be calling their clients out on bad behavior in order to help them progress, if theyre just being a yes-man, thats probably not a good or productive therapist imo.

2023-12-29 03:55:34 +0000 UTCfunny maya brought up exs or bad people from ur past getting special treatment by their therapists luckily in my case my ex went to therapy after our break up n specifically chose a female therapist n ended up getting pissed n dropping her cause she called him on his shit basically telling him he needs to do better. hope that gives u peace of mind it’ll catch up to them eventually. bible

2023-12-28 20:59:41 +0000 UTCHi Jimothy. The only time I've heard that name was when Post Malone called Jimmy Fallon that at the Olive Garden. I thought he made it up as an affectionate nickname. I won't leave you hanging for too long, the kids and I are going to help our neighbor who just started working in her yard, the roses are blooming right now. As soon as I clean up the cup of water one of my cats knocked over on the carpet. I am verbose, and it normally takes a few edits to get to the point. My answer probably has as many levels as QT's sense of humor, and hopefully isn't as offensive as you might be imagining. I genuinely appreciate your similar protective inclinations.
ApplesOranges23
2023-12-28 19:52:47 +0000 UTCAs someone training to be a psychologist I've always viewed it as a unique opportunity to prevent harm. Of course you, as a therapist, have every right to say "I don't think I am the right fit for you" and refer them elsewhere, but having a client who has harmful behaviours or actions, regardless if that's towards themselves or others, is what I signed up for (personally) in being a therapist. I think if they've made the effort to be here and I'm not willing to listen to them or engage in some level of understanding, then how are they meant to grow as a human and learn to be better? Unconditional positive regard doesn't mean condoning or justifying someone's actions, it means reserving judgment and providing a neutral space to acknowledge and work through them with the goal of understanding and improving.

2023-12-28 13:28:36 +0000 UTCThe sentiment that anyone doesn’t deserve proper therapy is understandable but that is what leads to extreme outcomes to a mental health crises. Essentially the most fuck up people need therapy the most. What we learned is that maya would not be a good therapist. Also the “isms“ they listed can all be summarized under fascism.

2023-12-28 13:19:58 +0000 UTCI paid $5 to hear this weird babysitter story. To add about the therapist thing, yes they do break up with clients if they do crazy stuff. My therapist had me sign some stuff and explained to me that it was because of a bad experience with another client the week before and I can only imagine what happened...

2023-12-28 07:59:47 +0000 UTCI paid $5 to make sure FanFan hadn't felt pressure to. And if so, I'd be willing to have everyone hate me for saying so. I'm relieved that it was a nice interview, like all the rest. I have first born traits, and have 2 young kids, so I often have mama bear instincts. Also related to a WAI ep when you called FanFan: one of the "I've Had It" ladies, who's going to be a Fear& guest soon, has a story of trying to use a spoon after being so constipated after childbirth. I love Jennifer & Angie, they are so funny. They're long time best friends and both of your podcasts have similarities.
ApplesOranges23
2023-12-28 07:58:42 +0000 UTCas a therapist (i work mostly w couples)--""breaking up"" with clients is definitely a thing that happens. typically ending therapy should be initiated by the client, but the therapist always has the right to end the relationship themselves if they don't feel like it's a good fit ("fit" here can mean, like, personality-wise, or just that the therapist doesn't specialize in the type of care that the client needs). It's normal to offer the client referrals to other therapists who might be a better fit, lol. Typically it's regarded as doing the best thing for the client--they deserve to work with a clinician who is actually a better fit for their individual personality and needs. Just like how you can't get along with everyone you meet in life, you're not going to be the right therapist for every client that comes to you.

2023-12-28 05:34:04 +0000 UTCPeople don't make mental health channels because sometimes people will trauma dump.

2023-12-27 20:54:51 +0000 UTCThere’s a hospice nurse on tiktok (can’t remember which one or her name) who talks about death and dying, and she said that it’s very common and normal to want to know how people died because then we can gauge our risk level of dying that way. And that this is somewhat of a survival instinct. She says that it doesn’t make someone a bad person if they are anxious about the cause of death and their own potential risk of dying by that cause. If nothing else, her video normalized that anxiety for me.
