I think he meant the first perma banned member but I'm not sure... Either way, the way he worded it isn't quite the tea. Still way too soon.

[Woo]

I don't get the appeal of firework. Let me make a thread about it

Interesting sessions with my therapist today. For the first half hour it was her bringing up questions and I'm like, "No. I'm not gonna talk about that." We argued back and forth a bit. She's all "why are you here" and I'm like "to talk about what I want. This is supposed to be a safe space."

I had things I wanted to discuss but she kept are bringing up what she wanted me to discuss. That's not how this works. I did get to talk about my anxiety & depression and the way I've been feeling for the past two weeks or so so that did help. But she circled back around to what I didn't want to discuss anyway.

She kept pushing me today about forgiveness. And I nearly lost it bc I misunderstood her. Tbh I think she meant exactly what I thought but she walked it back when I responded negatively.

The first part of this post. That's terrible! She has no right or position to be talking to a patient like that.

That grass is way too high, you need to cut it!
Your hair is way too long you need to cut it!
The TV is way too loud you need to cut it!
The carpet is way too long you need to cut it!
The book is way too long you need to cut it!
This post is way too long I need to cut it!

if you don't talk about what's bothering you, no matter how personal, you won't get over it. a therapist is there to hear those kinds of things that you can't tell anyone else. if you don't be open, therapy isn't going to work, and that's just how it is. and there's a possibility that what you think you shouldn't talk about is exactly what you need to be talking about to actually fix the issues you're having. i'm not sure if that's true in your case, but it could be, and i think you should keep that in mind.

good for you sis. just keep going cause you'll need to to be surrounded by someone. I remember when I flew back home after spending a few days with my friend (who is also my crush hihi) that I felt sad cause I was leaving someone who makes me feel nice and doesn't judge me. the meds (if you're on any) aren't enough, trust. for example I've had a few episodes a few times this week even though I'm on meds. Yeah, they work, but they're more like a supplement to the overall treatment (which includes some sort of therapy).

there's a difference between being cruel and being blunt, and i think bluntness is necessary for a therapist, honestly. what she said was (probably) not her trying to get rid of him, but making a point that if he isn't going to be open then there's no point in being at therapy. what some people don't understand is that therapy is there to make you better, not coddle you. you're never going to get better if you don't get pushed past your comfort zone.

[Almodusa]

I agree with Austin

[Woo]

I could never talk with a therapist I don't think they help at all

yeah my therapist pushes something that are uncomfortable to me sometimes, in an attempt to break down "my wall" so she is able to help me in my problem areas. In my experience, it's uncomfortable because you suppress those thoughts and feelings and don't want to bring it to the surface. And now, you have someone bringing those thoughts up. I remember one time me and my therapist talked about something that I kept a secret (and only she knows) and I remember walking out crying after. it's hard but necessary.

i've walked out crying from a couple therapy sessions. i vividly remember when we talked about how at the time i always thought of myself as smarter than everyone else, and he challenged me to explain why i was smarter because he knew that an egotistical trait like that would turn off people from being my friend and make me more judgmental of others. but i had built that up as a defense mechanism from social rejection. so in the end he was right, and i like to think i'm better about that now and i'd be a much more unpleasant person right now if i hadn't, but it kinda took a bit of a punch in the ego to get there.
