Becca, your advices have me in stitches 😂 but also so good and make everything seem lighter. I hope you and Shannon have a great time visiting your fam, how exciting ❤
Oh my god Becca, you’re not imagining things. That experience with this therapist sounds AWFUL and super inappropriate. I’m so glad you’re trusting your gut and sharing your experience, especially for viewers who might be new to trying therapy and feel like this is how it’s supposed to be. It sounds kinda like she may have been putting you in a box based on your presentation and treating you like the gullible blonde. Perhaps she was insecure around you based on your appearance and felt the need to compete due to insecurity, or maybe she thought that by opening up you would feel more safe and relate. Either way it doesn’t sound like acceptable therapist behavior. What you said about needing your therapist to be neutral makes so much sense and you articulated your thoughts on this so clearly. I fully agree! Last thing I’ll mention here (because I could literally analyze this for hours there’s just so much to unpack) is that wether she intended to be manipulative or not, I picked up on elements of guilt tripping, shaming, turning things around on you, and needing your validation. Damn. What a trip. Thanks for sharing and I hope you find an amazing therapist soon! Speaking from experience , there is nothing quite as impactful as a talented therapist who provides a safe and open space while also challenging you in healthy ways. Have fun introducing Shannon to your family if it hasn’t already happened!
i’ve had a similar experience with a therapist and sadly i am such a people pleaser that i continued to see him longer than i should have. don’t see anyone you’re not comfortable with!
sheesh, that “therapy” experience sounds brutal I’m so sorry, but imagining you with the weighted blanket being repulsed by the dog hair is sending me lmao. wasn’t that you who’s dad was asking if you wanted dolls from your relative?? maybe if you send em to that therapist she’ll cut you a deal on the cancellation hahaha
Omg she sounds awful💯💯 & from my experience some of them should never be a therapist💯💯❣️ but so happy you are taking Shannon to see your family and the places you worked hope you do some tic- toks while you’re home😊🙏🙏❣️❣️
Do you know why Shannon lived in Powell Ohio when she was 4 to 7 years old? She was waiting for your birth. Fortunately, you met each other in Los Angeles 25 years later.
I’m sorry you had such a shitty experience with that therapist. She was extremely inappropriate. If it’s easier than canceling over the phone, email her to cancel and state that you felt pressured/coerced into signing the forms and agreeing to schedule and you feel it would be inappropriate to be charged for the cancellation. I am a therapist, and I want you and anyone who reads this to know to say, “I’d like to go home and think on things and call back to reschedule and sign forms later” if you’re feeling too scared to say no to scheduling or signing things. I really hope you find the right fit therapist for you!!! 🫶🫶
12:01 you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about how you feel! 12:17 you shouldn’t be ashamed of the job you have! You make a difference and make people happy 12:44 people online have opinions, it doesn’t mean they are right! I know hate comments must be so hard but you are more than other people’s self hate and anger! 13:36 if you do not feel safe to speak to her please find someone new! You deserve to be listened too 🫶🏻
Can’t wait to see the new podcast room😊❣️❣️
I would have noped tf out as soon as I saw the dolls.
can’t concentrate on anything but how blue your eyes look bc of that sweater !! I frickin love the royal blue

Girl, that therapist was not it. Your gut feeling doesn't lie. She seems very unprofessional.
Whoa she really seemed to dump all “her stuff “ on you!

Hey Becca, be sure to take great pictures and share them! :-)
