Why therapy isn't likely to work for incels

[Fontaine]

An average psychiatric patient has typically experienced a trauma that won't happen again, or isn't likely to happen again. This includes rare cases of very painful breakup, painful rejection in love, being a victim of a freak accident or a terrorist attack, etc. Therapists who treat traumatized patients operate on the hope that trauma won't happen again in the next future, or in any event, won't exceed the patient's newfound ability to cope. Therapists also operate on the presumption that their patient can and will get better over time.

Unfortunately, extreme physical ugliness condemns you to a lifetime of cyclical suffering and trauma, so much that it should be effectively considered a disability. Mockery and teasing can happen at anytime, and it will always be extremely difficult to find love - except through a pet like a cat or dog who is blind to your appearance.

It never "gets better". You may find ways to cope, but objectively, the situation never gets better. The exterior environment was a threat in the beginning, and still is a threat thirty years later.

Actually, there's a method for dealing with that, look up complex post-traumatic stress disorder. I am going to start grad school for psychiatry soon, so I've done some research on the topic. Though it is currently not included in the DSM-V, there are talk therapists that have started to use Dialectical behavior therapy which was created to treat Borderline personality disorder to help with CPTSD. The stress disorder comes from long-term experience with the trauma and it recurring like being a sex slave for 20 years. Our copes are releasing a bit of the built up stress from trauma, CPTSD therapy can help quite a lot. But of course nothing changes without an effort to change, we may not control our bodies but our minds can be shaped to an extent.

Agreed. The only therapy for incels is plastic surgery or the rope.

I tried to tell this to the "psychiatric nurses" treating me during my stay in a ward, but they acted like my appearance was "not that bad". Maddening.

therapists would only be useful if they fucked their patients

 

[Mainländer]

Precise. Looksmaxxing and escorts are the only things you can effectively spend your money on in relation to your inceldom.

Lol nope sorry, don't want to have sex with the average therapist.

 

[whogivesafucc]

therapy is useless unless it very directly addresses the patient's problem. plastic surgery, drugs that will effectively help, etc, etc.

[Grotesque]

I've made too many videos on therapy.

NEVER GO TO THERAPY

the problem with therapy is that it implies your problems can be solved just by talking to someone. if you're a late bloomer who was ugly until his early 20s and had to deal with a lot of bullying in his childhood then maybe it could be useful. but if your problems are deeper than that I really don't see how it could help. it can be very expensive, too. please don't misunderstand me i'm not discouraging people from seeking help for their mental problems. If anyone here thinks a psych could help them they should give it a shot and see what happens. I just don't see the point. it's not going to make me less ugly. it's not going to stop people from harassing me every time i go outside.

Been in therapy for 7 years, when is it my turn?

Precisely. Therapists have nothing but soothing words like "they're assholes" and "just ignore them". They can't actually fix your looks or human nature.

That's too true, if you can't change human nature then you'll just have new problems to deal with everyday. Therapy just becomes a cope instead of a solution damn.

You've never posted on the ratings thread? How ugly can you be as a white guy?

Facially, my only problem is my bug eyes, that's why therapists think I'm delusional when I tell them I am deformed.

Regarding profile and body, that's where things get unbearable. I have severe recessed chin, protruding zygo, ugly nose, severe dolicocephaly, etc etc

Therapy is like nofap. Others would swear by it while others would call it complete bullshit. Thing about nofap and therapy is that they are solutions to problems that many people can't even define. Ok so you are depressed. Why are you depressed? Why does that thing make you depressed? What can you change to fix this? These things are complicated and by no means it is a blanket solution for everything. If you are depressed because you beat your meat all day long and never give yourself the downtime to think of productive shit, then of course nofap is going to work. If you are depressed because of issues involving your self esteem, causing other problems in your life and are willing to maybe change your views on the world in an attempt to get better then therapy will work. If you are depressed because you legitimately think you are ugly and the world is against you because of this then therapy will be a waste of time.
