@kath_barbadoro: Repeating this to other people as if it’s a compliment and acting like you are simply too intelligent for therapy is SO embarrassing lmao #therapy #selfawareness #psychology
I’ve always interpreted it as code for “I’m not equipped to help you” 🥲

Most therapists are out of their depth with anything they themselves have not experienced. Therapists in America are on average trash for anything beyond white suburban targeted problems.

my therapist said this to me, ended up using me a her case study for EMDR training, and helped me process everything. the comment section needs to find better therapists.

Diana - Therapist :
As a therapist I say something like that as a way to acknowledge that they have the cerebral knowledge but the exploration is what emotional blockage is there that keeps someone from implementation

Okay but if I have tried everything she’s telling me and she’s asking me questions I’ve already thought about and answered myself what do I pay her to do?

What am I supposed to say to them? I’ve had 3 therapists and they always end up like this and I am at my wits end

Whenever I sense I have a highly intuitive and introspective patient…I just acknowledge this. Usually adjust my style to be a supportive listener and guide towards somatic work when needed

my therapist clocked my neurodivergence (traditional talk therapy/CBT doesn’t do much for us) let me know it wasn’t her area of expertise, and helped me find someone else.

dare i argue that it may mean that the patient is conscious of patterns and behaviors but they need tools to actually put those thoughts in to practice

Actually usually what it really means is that the therapist doesn’t have the experience to help you because they have only worked with people who aren’t self aware

I cried myself numb when I felt like my therapist gave up on me.

its also super validating to the client to address the fact that they know a lot about themselves 🫶🏼

"I don't even know why you're here" is what I was told after seeing a therapist for 6 months.

no my therapist told me she meant it when she was breaking up with me for 'being so self-aware that I don't need therapy'

I spent like 800 for someone to repeatedly say “that sounds really hard” which made me feel like an idiot.

And this is why even though I need a therapist I’m too afraid to go to the therapist 🤪

Sima.Brooklyn🕎 :
Why does my therapist keep asking me ‘do you want me to just listen or do you want to work on this’ ?? Stop asking me that. It’s rlly irritating.

I heard the "your very self aware" usually by second session. Therapy never helped, and sometimes made things worse

Find a therapist *trained* in trauma modalities my friends. Talk therapy is helpful but to get to the root, other things will be helpful. I wish you all the healing

I think sometimes they don’t understand why you’re having the same problem. If you pretty much have the answers. And get a better therapist
