The first therapist I went to told me "...just do what your mom expects of you and she won't get mad at you." I grew up in a small town, and he was one of the few therapist in the area I could go see. I was not able to go to the therapist by myself at the time, and he would meet with my mom for a few minutes before I would go in. He did way more harm than good.
Wow! Way to tell a child how to set boundries & enforce it 🤦🏻♀️
Ya had a therapist tell me to not be so sensitive about my stuff and let others have it 🤦🏻♀️
Ick! I'm so sorry you got such a crap therapist!
We've had so many therapists who were like "that's an unhealthy core belief, maybe try having a different one?"
Like DUH....i know that my core beliefs are unhealthy, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
Yup, because you can magically have a different one. 🙄
Like saying be nicer to yourself but not knowing what that is or what that looks like.
One therapist told us about her own trauma for 30 minutes and then told us she didn't have the space to treat us. Oh and she diagnosed us with BPD...without even listening to us.
Laughing with you not at you because of how laughably awful this person was to you. I get that every shrink needs a shrink…that is a big HECK NAW from me.
ETA: Had a group counselor like this. None of us liked her we all cracked jokes. When we would use humor to cope with our situations she would be like “Are you mindful of how ____ is reacting?”
I had one that told me, " Marriage isn't rocket science"....oh, well thank you its all so clear now...i must be seriously defective since i cant figure it out
"Oh so you paid all that money and got your degree after learning 'not rocket science' and that's ehat you're charging for? This very easy thing every common person understands and manages well, yes? Weren't divorce rates going up and up? It's almost like it IS actually complicated" 🤦♀️ At least rockets can have a solid plan that can be rebuild 1:1, unlike relationships with INDIVIDUALS 🫣
I'm so sorry you had to hear that
Um, excuse me, that's probably easier. Marriage is hard because it evolves 2 people with different everything & getting that to work.
Love that! Everything in the dsm is natural & normal. Its a disorder because it gets dialed up & impedes functioning. A lot of people don't get that & see it as an overreaction or being too sensitive.
First therapist I saw about 12 years ago told me that if I just got a job, my depression wouldn't exist.
I had a niece try to commit unaliving & when she got taken to the emergency room, the doctor told her she did it for attention & then showed her the proper way to unalive herself. 🤨
I'm new to this channel, but I'm already a huge fan!
My story; I am an overweight individual. However, the reason I went to this therapist was to seek support for my ongoing struggles with social anxiety. When I was discussing some of the unhealthy coping mechanisms I was using, I mentioned my tendency to overindulge in junk foods when I was feeling particularly anxious. My therapist became almost hyperfixated on this point and would go on at length about the dangers of being overweight and specifically, the risks of developing diabetes.
This went on for a couple of sessions, and I soon stopped going to her.
As a result, it has taken me years to feel comfortable with the idea of seeing a therapist again.
Fortunately, I am now very happy with my current therapist.
Lol love you guys! Just started the video but had to say that! ❤
Once, I visited a therapist who said "Don't know why you are here. You seem fine with all of this...' I was dealing with MS problems for walking, unexpected duvorce, sexual abuse to a close family member, and lpsicological guilt punches to me! Neve went back! 😅
Last therapist I tried told me that I have GOT to love myself more... after I told her I struggled with self-loathing. Groundbreaking.
Another time - this wasn't a licensed therapist but someone in school to become one - I had someone close to me give me that "have you ever considered that your life thus far has been too easy and that's why you're struggling right now" gem. I had cracked under the pressure of my junior year of college and broke down crying multiple times a day for weeks.
My high school psychologist told me during my panic attack as I started to feel nauseous, that vomiting would be “the ultimate emotional form of discharge”. He encouraged that it’s an advanced level skill, but if I could get myself to throw up when I’m distressed, that it would be a positive “release” and I should make myself do it because it’d be good for me. 🙁
Um, belima, anyone? If I have that, right? Forced throwing up.
If in therapy, they should have had calming techniques, not just handing u a bucket to vomit in & said do more often 🤦🏻♀️
@@rogueerised979 it still disturbs me, but that was nothing compared to other things he did. He groomed me too and had me partake for three years in a cult he lead 🥺😰
@@rogueerised979Yeah umm did this therapist have an ED???? 😧
I wonder if HE was bulimic
That’s like telling someone to cut themselves if they’re stressed, tf??
I told a counselor that I was getting harassed on TikTok. He said I was sensitive and sent me home because most of my tuition was paid for.
😢😮 so sorry 😞
@@lizdestefano4905 Ah don’t worry about it you didn’t do the deed. Not your fault.
Wow! That person is horrible.
@@rogueerised979 Thank you…yes he is. That meant a lot to read. 🥲
What would I say? REFUND PLEASE. 👎
I’ve had a few really good therapists and one really bad one. I went through a really traumatic sexual assault and when I told her about it she laughed and said “I’m sure it wasn’t that bad” I don’t malign therapists though because therapists have also saved my life.
Good help is hard to find unfortunately.
I am diagnosed with Avoidant Personality Disorder and I was told by my therapist to go hang out outside a bar after last call to pick someone up. Another therapist told me that when I travel to other cities I should use Tinder while I'm there for a short term encounter. I am single, but that's not an issue for me, and it was not a concern I had in therapy nor was it part of my treatment plan in either case. I understand that being in a stable long term relationship is positive for people with AvPD, but that's not what they were talking about. Perhaps they were frustrated with my lack of progress because I have a PD. Maybe they were just lazy and scraping the bottom of the barrel. It made me question if I was giving off a vibe I didn't realize, and it made me retreat into my shell even more.
That is crazy to me. I know someone with AvPD that was told by their therapist it was okay to ghost his committed partner.
@@masmith8308 They just don't know how to deal with it and start grasping at straws.
A child therapist told me my OCD was black magic, and I would have to go away to a special school.
Were they joking?
This wasn't a therapist that said this to me, but my manager. When I told him I was experiencing anxiety because I got triggered very badly by a certain situation that had a certain collegue in it, I was scared to talk to said collegue alone and I needed to build self confidence in order to talk to him alone again. His response was "don't make it too big for yourself". That was so hurtful. It's clear that he has no idea what this is like for me. And he is minimizing my trauma. And acting as if I can actually just wave a magic wand and be ok again. That's not how trauma works. He is SO ignorant. I told him how that statement made me feel later on. He said he said it to help me. I said well if you want to help me, don't use that statement. To which he asked if I thought nobody should be saying those words ever.
I have a wonderful therapist who works hard and has helped me immensely and has never said such invalidating things, I appreciate your insight and perception so much, thank you! Comparison is my family’s biggest challenge/concern and I am desperately trying to change this. Happy spring! Thank you again!
My therapist is extraordinary too!! Bless her!
I had the one where a Therapist said “ I need to work on managing my depression “ 😒 when my response was “ Why do you think I’ve come to you for ?? “ 🤷♀️🤷🤷♂️ I also said “ here’s me thinking I’ve come to play golf “ 😒 I was transferred from the GP at the time , as I tried taking my own life at the time , not to get to heavy here , I have a lot of Suicidal thoughts due to my condition I have a hormonal chemical in balance because of my genetic disabilities so I’ve got a lot to deal with not just physically but mentally , the Therapist I saw pretty much minimised my situation and the trauma I was going through and still am , I’m not sure what advice I can give other than I walked out the Therapist office never came back , I learned to be my own Therapist as I learned I know myself better than anyone else does stupid realisation I know but that’s what I learned 😉🙂
I had a therapist tell me that I would always be sad because sadness can’t be cured.
That actually makes me cringe in a pessimistic, unfun way.
In the late 00s when I was 19, I was about 12 months into what I then didn't realise, but now know was a major depression and it had totally annihilated my freshman year of college. When the ideation became scary, I went to a therapist at the University to seek help. It was almost a caricature with both of us in big leather chairs, and his oak paneled office with books everywhere. I tried to describe the inexplicable feelings of worthlessness I had and how it seemed like I had lost all my joy in life and spent all my time alone and sad. I spent maybe 30 minutes describing my emotional state and answering his mild probing questions when I offhandedly mentioned that Id had two breakups in the previous year. Without even the opportunity to say that I didn't mind, he diagnosed me with "sad boy" and declared I wasn't depressed and clearly was just sad I lost my girlfriend. I tried to ask about why I was feeling so blue before I was with them and during but he wouldn't even let me speak. It was like talking to a brick wall after that - I was a stupid boy who was catastrophising my baby-relationships and that was it. Turned me off therapy (and therefore had to deal with un-managed depression) for 6 years.
So this wasn't a therapist, but my GP. I was seeking recommendation to a therapist because my depression was getting too much for me to handle.
I'm autistic, and medication doesn't always have the effect it's supposed to. Every anti-depressant I've ever tried made me feel completely dead inside so over the years I've given up on that route. I learned to manage my extreme anxiety and depression with things like Journaling, having conversations in my car with people who aren't in the car (very similar to a concept you mentioned in a recent video), and meditation.
For the past four years my routine was disrupted by first having cancer(I'm clean now, but dealing with this during covid wasn't fun). I normally can do pretty good at smiling and laughing around people even when I didn't want to but cancer made me very sick and unable to keep up my masks. Which caused people to start bullying me at work and subsequently my coping mechanisms were no longer working.
This is all way too much back story, I tend to overshare I'm sorry 😂
I told my GP about all of this to try and get a recommendation because I didn't know if I needed one with my insurance. Her response - "If you aren't on medication then it's not that bad" and she point blank refused to listen after that.
"If you aren't on medication then it's not that bad"
How are you going to get on medication if your doctor will not refer you to the proper specialist for treatment?
I have long said:
"Someone else's suffering does not negate my own."
My first psychiatrist did never believe me when I answered questions with "I don't know". He once declared that as "my island" to not have or want to answer.
I see where he might be coming from, sometimes an "I don't know" might be what he implied, and sometimes I may have used it to avoid answering difficult questions.
But I am very very unsecure about my feelings, I grew up in a difficult household with an unpredictable mother. Emotions were never save to have. Especially not negative ones.
This made really questionthem, in every possible layer. Are they even there, what are they, am I allowed to have them?
So him constantly assuming I was just not cooperating when I really seriously was (still am a lot) so out of touch with that I genuinely could not tell e.g. what I felt about incident xy.
Being so overly questioning my every thought and emotion was one of the things that pained me so much, that I felt already like an alien about and that I most hoped to get help with.
Very assuming and belittling, carrying on that way of being hurt by yet another person. That should help you...
Also, same psych, but this more what he did than specific words.
Context: I see him for anorexia and depression.
He wants to undergo an unannounced "experiment" with me. He proposes both he and I eat a muesli bar, and after that we talk about how that makes us feel.
I refuse. I was in full early anorexia, counting every single calorie, constantly getting into arguments with my mother about it. Routine was after my appointments with the psych, she picks me up after work, we stop at the grocery score, I choose a pastry which a actually eat. All meticulously planned.
His propose sat me right into full panick mode. Like I accept the bar I CANNOT eat that pastry, mum's going to be mad, make a fuss, yell.... just NO WAY
The psych does not want to hear my worries, plays them down and get REALLY mad at me. Yelling at me and calling me "uncoopoerative". I was terrified that moment, especially as he reminded me of my father when he was angry (same glare, same intimidating stance). Definitely triggering (just I did not know that word or concept at that time) Soon after that he gave up on me for "being uncooperative".
But what. Did. He. Expect? I'm not "proud" of that incident, and questioned it (as I do) for very long (also having both mother and sister siding with psych and for me overreacting).
In hindsight, I can only say he definitely should not have taken my case to begin with for the obvious mismatch of age and issues.
("Funny" enough, my sister who is a doctor in work medecine by now has since had several patients herself with bad experiences with the exact same psych.)
Omg he is horrible!! Am so sorry you went through that. So unprofessional on his part! You did absolutely nothing wrong!! And of course, you dont know the answers. Why is he trying to be a therapist or psychologist? So rude & unhelpful for him to do that.
And a good therapist tries to help you see if you truly dont know & too discover it or actually avoiding & why?
@@rogueerised979 thank you. Took me very long to realize that he was the one doing badly.
Especially since my Depression and even more so ED was (still is to acertain degree, I'm 37 and chronic ny now) perceived as "a choice" and "deliberaltely misbehaving". I'm already used to take the blame for almost everything.
But it feels freeing to at least see that specifically concerning that psych, it was HIM who screwed up.
@mangantasy289 Welcome. ya because that's a choice a rational human would do, not know & have depression & ed. Heck, no! Makes life very difficult. So ya tottally on him, not you.
@@rogueerised979 thanks. Means a lot to be confirmd on not being the fault.
@@mangantasy289 of course!
Once when I was at university, this psychology and counseling student who lived on my floor tried to give me therapy in the shower. I had really messed up a project in one of my classes and came back to our dorm visibly upset but holding it in having told my professor that I was going to take and hour to have a shower and get some food then come back and fix my mistake. I grabbed my things and got in to the shower when this woman came in to the shower block and tried to play the therapist. She wouldn’t leave me alone despite having been told very clearly that I wanted to shower in peace and that I would talk to her when I got out.
I appreciate that a therapist is talking about this period. I especially appreciate it from both the therapist.And someone who is consciously looking at therapy and is aware of the pitfalls that can happen when therapy goes wrong. Thankfully , none of the therapist , I was forced into where as bad as this android blocked out the memory, But between school therapists and outside, I remember being forced into therapy because my parents would rather lie to me that we were all going, when really it was just them saying i was the problem and they had no part.😅
I was having a nice time, watching this video while eating dinner. Then you hit me with "the weight of your anxiety is real", and suddenly i feel bummed down =[
One of the best things that I ever learned in my own wellness journey is this: A problem doesn't have to be difficult for you in order for you to acknowledge that it is difficult for someone else and to approach them with compassion
So insightful, thank you
When I entered perimenopause and my progesterone plummeted, I experienced depression and anxiety (to where I could barely function, just taking a shower was overwhelming) and joy had just been sucked right out of me. I had never experienced it before. I wasn't sleeping either, so I went to my primary care doctor to explain my struggle. At first I did not know it was from my lack of progesterone. The doctor told me you just need to meditate. I went to another doctor for women issues and he told me what the problem was, but didn't know how to effectively treat me. When I went to the psychiatrist I told him it was hormone related, he basically said take these drugs and papers on sleep hygiene and call me in the morning. I did feel dismissed because I felt like they were not listening to what the real problem was and told me I was just having depressive episodes. If they did not know how to treat me I wish they would have acknowledged that I knew what was going on with me and perhaps made a suggestion on where I could get the proper treatment.
"I don't think your problems are real problems" that's something my dad said to me....
Want to say I love your videos. They are so healing. I myself have a wonderful therapist. It took a minute for us to understand each other and how we work and think, but it has been 4 years now and she has been so healing for me. I know not every therapist works for every person and I got really lucky but these ones that you are talking about I can't believe they even exist.
I am truly sorry for all of the people that have gone through such a horrible experience. Keep seeking help, all therapists, like all people, are different. I promise you there is someone out there who will take the time to understand you and help you.
I once confessed I had been having suicidal ideation to a therapist and she said to me “one day you will do it, I can tell you will because I had a patient similar to you” and then went on to tell me the story of how he committed suicide and that it was okay because it was what he wanted and she said she respected his decision and mine. I never went back to her and came very close to ending my life that night.
I can relate to this as my first psychiatrist told me during a session after he diagnosed me with Major Depressive Disorder with accompanying Anxiety that I was acting like a 5 year old child and I was giving him a headache. He said he couldn't take it anymore. That was my last session with him. A few years later I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome or ASD, otherwise known as Autism by another psychiatrist. Go figure why I might have been acting like a 5 year old. Another thing is the clinical psychologist I was seeing at the same time as the psychiatrist who diagnosed me with Autism and by the way after asking me similar questions agreed with the diagnosis of Autism later on, probably a few months later ended up saying I was using my Autism as an excuse to not work and be lazy. Then after maybe two sessions of hearing that I told that psychologist I was not going to see him anymore because I don't need to be talked to like that. As I was almost out his office door, he got out of his chair and told me I am not going to stop seeing him and got right in front of me pinning me against the wall with his much taller than me body and bumped me. I couldn't have gotten out of there any quicker. He said as I closed the door, see you next week. He even called me that next week wondering where I was and I told him that I wasn't coming back and he said I will give you 30 minutes to get there. I didn't go and he tried the next week until he finally gave up. That was a scary experience I don't wish on anyone else. Oh, I need to add that another therapist told me after like 5 sessions that he can't see me anymore because he deals more with patients that have worse anxiety and I have worse depression. I thought to myself, WHAT? That was his see you later, good luck with your mental health issues statement apparently. I can only laugh at that now.
I self harm and if my therapist said that, i would probably hurt myself even more, bt she dosent!
If my therapist said half of these things to me, 1 I lost trust in therapist almost all together, and it took her almost a year to trust her, 2 i would walk out of the room after maybe- maybe saying something mean to then but then again I don't like Confrontation, and 4 I could or it would be very and for me to gain trust in that field again!
This was very helpful! I love the idea of realizing your advice may help and it may not help.
My therapist said to let all the thoughts flow through my head without judging them. I don't think she understood the concept of intrusive thoughts...
I’ve been to see a therapist about social anxiety which happened as a result of the medication I am taking for my epilepsy.
Never once had anxiety until I started the meds.
Anyway to combat my social anxiety she started drawing matchstick men walking down the street on a piece of paper.
Basically the idea was to walk a little bit further each time to get comfortable again in a social environment.
So pointless.
I think I might possibly have BPD and when I talked to a therapist about how out of control I was feeling, she told me, “oh you don’t want that diagnosis”
Hell I have depression but I don’t want it, like what?
I'd thank them. Agree I was the problem. Then get up and leave . . . And then find someone competent in the field of therapy.
Mine i think doesn’t make sense without full context, which I’m not airing on the internet. Let’s just say we were talking about my struggles as a mom, and I had made my feelings about it pretty obvious, and we were trying to work on it. She basically made me say out loud this very painful truth that we BOTH already obviously knew. I wasn’t repressing; I knew it was there and wanted to move forward. And she basically refused to move the conversation forward until I physically said it out loud. It was agony. And when I called her on it next session, she was like, “Well, I needed you to acknowledge it.” And I was like, “I have! I know it! That’s why I’m here.” And her response was to shrug and say, “Well, therapy’s not always fun.” But now I’m with an amazing therapist who I’m making great progress with
A counsellor once told my mum about her and her ex husband, just don't argue, as if that will just fix their relationship or as if it's that easy, needless to say she walked out after that and never saw the counsellor again.
I so love these videos...
When I was twelve I fought my mother to let me leave therapy because I didn’t want to go and also I was told “Just be happier so your mother will enjoy your presence” and the one time I actually shared anything with her she said “I don’t think that’s as bad as you say it is” She also had more meeting with my mother than with me and told my mother to just slap me in the face.
Have ADHD and struggle to watch through these videos but want to bc you care about these topics? Increase speed to 1.25 or 1.5 in the video. Makes it easier to focus! At least for me lol I’m so glad I found a way to help bc I love the content of these
Jono here. That's how I watch almost everything on YT. I get it.
I read a text by a woman whose school therapist had said about that she was bullied that she was cocky.
Or when I went to the psychiatrist and said “my depression is getting worse” and she said “everyone feels a little bit sad :)”
I think some therapists have said some unhelpful things, but most of the time, a lot of these "$h!t thereapists say" was said to me from people who were close to me- friends and family.
As a trans masculine person, I was really excited to find a therapist some years ago that was a trans woman because I thought she'd be really helpful and accepting. That's how I found out there are some really harmful ideologies among white binary trans women. I brought up potentially wanting to go on HRT and she said, "I always caution my clients that are AFAB about going on testosterone because it can make you really angry and sexually aggressive." That's extremely not true, and her misinformation caused me to not pursue medical transition for years because I was afraid of becoming some kind of rapist monster.
What if its not a therapist but a family member? I feel like ever since ive been working on recovrring from my old people pleasing doormat behaviors, a fanily member will tell me to "calm doen" even when i feel im behaving calmly, just having a boundary. If anything i feel its the person telling me to be calm thats the one getting intense.
Note: I'm not a therapist or councilor; I do use these supports, and these questions have helped with growth, it might not work for you but don't give up- your asking the right questions
Are these your chosen family members, be it yes or no- what do they bring to your life, how exactly are they a support. Boundries prevent future fights with others and they're also for yourself, do you cross your own boundries? Are you able to spot within yourself healthy emotional reactions vs. emotional reactions that need coping skills. By asking these questions, it sets you up to talk to a therapist or councilor. You can spot discomfort but you need to be completely honest with yourself if you want things to change. Some have never learn the skill of emotional awareness but can learn it, and some can't. Some people can develop the skill or are literally incapable of admitting their emotions, how something makes them feel, and know they've done something wrong- it's a defencemechanism. You can't control other people but you can learn to control yourself meaning, give yourself patiences to counter anger, learning to think with multi perspectives counters fear and uncertainty.
Edit: You've the ability to distance yourself, reduce interaction or cut contact with people. Do you have a definition of what an acquaintance, friend, family is? Note your definition for anything, is not the same for everyone else. Some people can become frustrated because they don't understand, this could also include yourself.
@VorpalSnickerSnack thanks but I'm not sure that answered my question.
I've been the keep my mouth shut no conflict person with family my whole life. I've been healing anxious attachment and past trauma, and part of that is learning to have boundaries and communicating them.
My issue with my family is, now that I do that, no matter how calmly or nicely I do it, I get pushback. I'm told I'm being irrational when I'm not. I think it's because they still want to control me and don't like I have an opinion now.
That being the case, it's more about their inability to tolerate or sit with your emotions than your emotions themselves.
The worst advice I dealt with!? To be slapped into a group therapy( a bunch of anger, spitefilled teenagers) during my parents divorce when I should have had a one on one to learn where my head was at. Needless to say, I
walked out and never came back- dealing with my confusion on my own..
Some of us are accepters of experience and some of us fight them.
I had one say “Well your dad is 50% of you so you shouldn’t be mad.” …. Miss ma’am he tried to take his family’s lives MULTIPLE times. Sober some of the times.
I never went back to her.
My sister had a therapist who worked out of his home. He would answer the phone in the middle of their sessions, and leave to go talk to his wife.
Oh, that's no bueno.
1st time I dropped a trauma councilor, she said "if you know any jobs that pay more than this let me know." She wouldn't stop talking about mystery novels.
i had a therapist as a teen who, at the end of every session, would look at me with a pouty face and say "aw! i'm sorry, i wish there was something i could do!". 🤦 i'd think to myself every time "me too-- that's what i'm here for!". it was a hundred dollars per session! she would always have her laptop on her lap during sessions, and one day, i noticed she was actually on RUclips. so she'd just be watching videos during our sessions and say "sorry, wish i could do something about that" at the end of every session. she also told me i was "basically normal" and said that she didn't understand why i was coming to therapy-- i had undiagnosed autism (now officially diagnosed), along with every anxiety disorder under the sun, and trauma. LMAO!
i also had a different therapist say that i couldn't be autistic, because "well, you're not like Rain Man!". ah yes, because a fictional movie is the number 1 source for diagnosing autism... there was another instance in which i was trying to disclose to her that i had a mental health crisis over the course of a week, and was experiencing suicidal ideation. she was playing with a squishy ball toy the entire time that made fart noises, and the loud farts would interrupt my sentences while i was trying to talk about how i didn't like waking up in the morning or being alive. 💀 i would have to restart my sentences several times until she put the toy away. then, without looking at me, she said "it's probably just intrusive thoughts" (in reference to my S.I), and began talking about something unrelated. later in the conversation, she dismissed my depression by saying "well, people with REAL clinical depression typically go through this...". i was so appalled by it, i ended up treating myself to watching the barbie movie right after. haha! but, so far, my current therapist has been a lot better.
When I went to my school counsellor in high school, her solution to almost everything seemed to be "eat oatmeal for breakfast."
comment for the algorithm
Why is he not wearing his wedding ring?
Some people have sensory issues, it's surprisingly not uncommon to see in couples. Personally if I were to get married I'd get a tattoo instead of a ring. However unfortunately some people who are married don't wear rings because they cheat, take it with a grain of salt.
