This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Men: never go to a female therapist, they will NEVER be able to understand you from a man’s perspective. All they see is abundance, with men chasing them and paying attention to them, and will never understand how few choices those men in the bottom-80% are left with.
I feel like I need to say that if this was your experience you had a really shit therapist and deserve better. I've felt like this with a therapist before and it's terrible. It's ok to drop a therapist over this and try a different one.
I feel like I would be a better therapist than this and I have no training or desire to get in that field! But I sure as shit wouldn't go out of my way to shame someone with low self-esteem who's literally trying to improve themself. If that conversation was verbatim, I'm not exaggerating when I said the therapist should be suspended.
It's honestly hard to imagine how someone who's this shit can even attain the title of "therapist".
Welcome to America, where we have degree mills you can buy doctorates from and an understaffed health industry that will take whoever they can get. Never trust that a medical professional will act with your best interest in mind until you've established a relationship with them and know they're actually competent.
Seem like just opening up to a friend and them questioning things. Doesn't sound like a proper therapist.
Find a better therapist. Just because someone goes to school and gets a professional credential doesn't mean they don't suck at their job.
I'd still trust those more than I would a therapist without even professional credentials.
Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I've ever heard a therapist say.
I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
You still don’t know a therapist has ever said this though.
Either:
Why not both?
