It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

therapists are fuckin wilding out, the cert process is not rigorous at all. go to psychiatrists, people
I've also had terrible psychiatrists.
That's what I've found, unfortunately. I actually bought s $30 tape recorder recently and just started recording therapy sessions with myself. It's been way more helpful and saves me $150 by the hour.
There's bad therapists, but good ones too. Psychiatrists give you meds, not talk therapy. Those are two completely different things
There are definitely some people who get their licensure and then become a "therapist". But if you do your homework and make sure that the person is trained and certified in certain therapy modalities that are clinically proven to help you, and then make sure that person is on-the-level culturally (practices trauma-informed care, non-heteronormative inclusive, culturally competent) you are much more likely to have a good experience.
