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.
My bet is this is fake. A large part of incel groups is making sure no one seeks help, so they stay longer. If you demonize therapists then that's one more path to then existing removed.
I know better than to assume that anything posted to 4chan actually happened, but I also know from personal experience that moments just like this one DO happen to people. So even if this particular story is a fiction or was intended to serve some other purpose, it's portraying a familiar moment for many people and I wanted to acknowledge that and encourage people to seek better help.
I read it as âbetter help uhh therapistâ because of the stupid ass self censorship. Iâm not blaming the user for doing it, just annoyed for natural real world language getting hamstrung to satisfy advertisers. How long until âtisk tisk tisk! You canât say âahhâ, thatâs a naughty word!â?
That's really, genuinely never made sense to me. If I'm going to say "freaking cold" it has the exact same meaning as "fucking cold". So what's the difference? Yet one is acceptable and one is, *clutches pearls*, a bad word. :O
I mean, if the specific word you want to use seems to be an inappropriate tone, maybe find a different way to say what you're trying to say instead of injecting a filter-bypass replacement for the same word you didn't feel was an appropriate tone?
Betterhelp-coded therapist
Sounds like Betterhelp's caliber of therapists
Lemme guess, this "therapist" was via Betterhelp
For a couple of examples
Edit: I see you didn't post the original comment. Oops!
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.
