Not to doubt (((Academia))) but when I listen to most mental health professionals it just seems like their only getting paid hundreds of dollars an hour to talk people I circles and give them generic self help advice you can find in one of those corny books Has anyone here been successfully helped by a therapist?
 
therapy is only used by big pharma to put the mentally ill on meds to make them zombies

therapy never works its just a way to get prescribed medicine. an acceptable way to get people to overdose

yeah lol. they will talk with their co workers about u and how much of a weirdo you are. especially female therapists jfl. its over for muslim spiderman
 
Don’t know never tried it tbh

seems like a waste of time unless the therapist is hot and is willing to help me ascend:feelsEhh:
 
No. However, group therapy worsened my mental state. S.R.B
 
The therapy besides being useless and only capable of stole money also has as its origin psychology and psychiatry which are a Jewish invention to tell you.
 
Therapy is good for overcoming shit like overcoming traumatic situations/developing better coping mechanisms (because many people deal with the issues and therefore the techniques were quite refined), but for everything else it's suited to a far lesser degree.

(In the past I said shit differently but my last attempt at therapy was roughly a decade ago and I was quite young there, it has probably changed a lot now)
 
therapy has 2 goals:

1. make money for the therapist

2. numb u with SSRIs so u can go back to work and continue to be a cog in the machine
 
it's only useful for correcting irrationalities, aka useless for truecels.
 
There is no therapy for your height and your face.
 
Yes as there is no therapy for repulsive face.
 
It definitely helped me to become more assertive and built up my courage to socialize and interact with people generally.
[UWSL]Because of our bad life experiences we are much more sensitive to slights and might see them where there are none. If a friend can't meet you, you may automatically assume he hates you. A therapist would interject when they catch you making assumptions.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]A therapist to me was like a father figure/big brother that you could talk to in a way that you could never with your real family.[/UWSL]
 
Therapy is a secular replacement of what was once confessing to a priest, but with the newer one you also get to discuss taboo topics and the person you talk to behind a friend facade serves as a government informant.

Therapy is both a waste of time and money if you are blackpilled. Therapy is for retards with no self-awarness that can't think for themselves, like normalfaggots crying that their girlfriend dumped them and are considering killing themselves over that, when if you had more than 2 braincels you wouldn't need to pay some soycuck with meme degree to tell you it's retarded, you would realise it by yourself. No ammount of mental gymnastics are going to make you happy if you are well aware of your situation. How are coping mechanism going to work if you are well aware that they are nothing but coping mechanisms?
 
Therapy helps especially those with mental issues and unresolved trauma. I mean how else would you expect to heal those things?
 
Serious response: I think most methods and theories from psychology are bullshit. Psychoanalysis for instance is bullshit.

Cognitive behavioral is one of the methods which I think maybe can help. Only go to male therapits, as well; this is extremely important. Female ones will most likely not only not help but make you feel even worse.
 
in my country there's two types of therapists

psychologist - manipulates you into paying her money and useing your mental illness to make a living

psychiatrist - do the same thing but they work like legal drug dealers because they can give you drugs
 
10 retards need:banhammer:
 
I have had one schema therapist and 4 psychiatrists and nobody actually helps you.

@Atavistic Autist did you quit therapy already?
 
@Atavistic Autist did you quit therapy already?
I need to see a therapist for now to demonstrate that my autism is being managed, but if I had a true choice in the matter, I would quit because I have no common frame of reference with the type of people who become therapists and therefore nothing fruitful to expect from the "therapeutic relationship."

This is not to mention the laughable "strategies" and advice that therapists offer you, which range from the platitudinous to inane.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is only effective for midwits whose entire worldview can be changed by a therapeutic introject manipulating their thoughts, paired with placebo-tier techniques whose real purpose is to distract you from what ails you.

It's the most dogmatic modality imaginable, operating under the cult of scientism, where the "rational" cognitive behavioral therapist seeks to correct the "irrational" patient (who is considered irrational simply for being depressed/anxious in the first place and expressing these sentiments in words; the therapist's rationality deriving merely from their credentials).

Every experience and impression you share with a CBT therapist is subject to critical analysis as if you're totally wrong in your interpretation of them -- assuming that they are "negative" in nature and lend themselves to unhappy thoughts, or wrongthink (literally called "wrong thoughts" in the therapy). Who knew that "positivity," and associated concepts like "loving yourself," were precepts proven by science? :lul:

If CBT doesn't work for you, a principled therapist would theoretically attempt to change the modality or refer you to somebody else, but these are in short supply and in my experience and those of others whose testimonies I've read online, the therapist will just become malicious in a way befitting for a narcissist. They'll attempt to utterly confuse you in the hope of breaking down your ability to think for yourself. In a word, gaslight you. Just so they can continue to justify getting paid $100 an hour under the pretense of changing your "wrong thoughts."

But what actually happens, if any change occurs at all, is not that your thoughts change, but that your language changes. You seek to appease the abusive therapist by telling them what they want to hear. This does not entail any improvement except in the context of the therapist's notes and correspondence with the insurance company -- the only thing that matters in the end.


As for male therapists, they're almost invariably soys. They work in a female dominated field not because they're outliers but because they're typical within it.


tl;dr If your reason for going to therapy isn't either amusement or NEETbux, stay far away from CBT charlatans.

At least you won't rope. Don't expect them to address the real issues like inceldom. But actually I want to try a male therapist at some point. At least he would know that it doesn't work the same way it works for a women even he is bluepilled. Women act like it is not a serious issue that I don't have a partner. I mean it is super important if you are already 30 or over and actually want a normal life, unless you have some serious copes.

Don't fool yourself: male therapists are almost always soy.

You could say that male therapists overcompensate for being male by becoming gayer than even foid therapists would be. Because foids set the standard in psychotherapy and are hegemonic within it, after all.

I don't like females dominating all work fields other than hard physical work which they can't do anyway. I think we should see more men in social work fields as well. That's why I still prefer men in any service that I will get if I have a choice. I specifically demand men serve me. I mean of course some may be gay but don't go to a gay then. I believe women's role in the society is being a housewife and take care of children and no femism didn't change it. It is an illusion.

yes, it is a huge scam
Never worked for me, and never will. What people fail to realize is therapy won't magically solve all of your issues overnight, it's essentially a random dude/hole who's giving you bluepilled sheeple advice and some jewpills to calm your anger/depression, which further encourages dependancy and also more $$$ for (((them))).

Given that we're an increasingly oversocialized civilization, foids will naturally rise to preeminence in the economy.

What matters in such a context is not real, physical work, but the appearance of work as buttressed by social clout. Foids are perfect for this. And psychotherapy exemplifies it.

I have experienced the same with my schema therapist. At some point I felt like I was just larping and saying what he wanted to hear. He always did rescripting exercises and wanted everything to go about early family dynamics etc. It was so boring and did nothing for me. I only wanted to talk about my oneitus but I didn't know how to bring up the topic because I didn't like his overly analytical way of questioning everything I said.

Since I converted, I realized that without God, everything is arbitrary. Of course, you can make pragmatic/practical cases for things and ideas, but even those are still subject to changes from new, most advanced and/or less biased studies and data, changes in society and environment, etc. Not to mention that sometimes, pragmatically speaking, there isn't really better and worse but rather multiple options with positives and negatives.

So it's funny to see people (like the vast majority of those psychologists and others) who otherwise believe that everyone has their own truth and nothing is objective, trying to impose an objective worldview in whixh X or Y is wrong or bad or whatever.

tl;dr If your reason for going to therapy isn't either amusement or NEETbux, stay far away from CBT charlatans.
I condece that you know more about the subject and are probably right. I only gave CBT some benefit of the doubt because it's a modality I myself never tried, contrary to others that I can state from first-hand experience that are bullshit.
