I had a therapist who told me that we want to stay with what we know, because the unknown is inherently scary to us. So, even if it means choosing abusive partners, if that's what's familiar, that's what we will do. We have to get the courage up to try to do the scary unknown thing.
As someone who can trace their anxieties back to kindergarten, I am so glad to see this covered. I've failed at every medication that's been given to me for anxiety (variety of nasty side effects) so I've begun to wonder if I just shouldn't accept it vs trying to medicate that out of me. Can't wait to watch!
I find I'm attracted to other scapegoats and trauma survivors, and triggered by those who the world deems "normal" but who I see as narcissists, bullies and abusers. The kind of people who will throw out an insult "as a joke" when they first meet me. I find it extremely difficult to form any relationships. I try to hold respect for myself and look for friendships and connections with people who are as mature as I am, but I am constantly rejected for not living up to people's standards: job, housing, past, family, children, etc. Even middle-aged adults struggle to understand and show empathy for my congenital visual impairment. And, it seems like the only people who take an interest in me are predators and users.
To the last question I feel as a future therapist would you not hold out info if safety to you a therapist? Esp if the client is possible a risk. But not being honest about core things.
Ok …. Non premium user and this is a video that background plays on mobile 🤷♂️ I wanna take a moment to recognize RUclips for doing such things because it is freaking awesome. I have noticed that it only seems to happen for myself on videos that are relative to mental health due to my condition I have had someone verify that I am not tripping out. The last video was another one that sung in that moment to my personal journey. If not some RUclips intervention/bonus/feature to boost creators for users with niche interests, then I wonder whom/what has intervened? Has anyone else experienced this? Either way, it got my attention.
Checked a couple others and came back to finish watching 😊 not working on other videos so not a birthday feature or anything Thought you might like to know how “RUclips” may be helping your channel ❤
I recently got out of a very abusive relationship and was pretty much rescued from that by someone else. Yes, it was boring and I wasn't really attracted to them but it seemed like a safe and wise decision to make. They actually turned out to be more abusive than the original! How can i trust anyone?!
I hope the person who sent the grooming story hears you, Katie. Honey, if you're reading this, me too. So many people too! You did nothing wrong. You were taken advantage of and abused. Please see a therapist because they will help you see the truth. Parents don't always understand. Tutors don't always understand. Many people do. You're so cherished and strong.
I always fall for the bad guys know i stay away from them And the ather reason is because I'm sick and don't want to be a burden to anyone The ather reason is i can't stand anyone to thatch me so it will not be fair for me to be in a relationship because i would not treat them fairly
Love to everyone here , going through Mental illness , and struggling , you are worthy and deserve love 💗

Kati, would you consider ending your videos with a journal prompt for those of us that struggle to know what to write about?
Love this idea!!❤

Are you starting to post the Thursday videos on this channel again?
Did I miss something? Are these no longer being posted on the main channel?
We’re running an experiment and suspect that it is better to post long form here.

Yes!!! I couldn't work out how I was doing it. It's only Katie's videos that do it though!

I always fall for the bad guys know i stay away from them
And the ather reason is because I'm sick and don't want to be a burden to anyone
The ather reason is i can't stand anyone to thatch me so it will not be fair for me to be in a relationship because i would not treat them fairly
i have given up care of veiled threats and consequences.
