  I love it when he says he's bad at a specific modality (supportive psychotherapy) It's like, I dunno, a very upfront way of helping you know if he's the right therapist for you. And I feel like that needs to get put in some kind of compiled intro for who he is.

  This is why we don’t diagnose teenagers with personality disorders: all teenagers have personality disorders! lol I’m kidding, but it’s also for a kernel of truth lol

  Nowadays it's just two therapists talking with eachother through their patients, using them like Pokémons

  Regarding the Failure of Mentalization... the "I don't agree with you, therefore you are wrong and your point doesn't exist" part of it is what impacted me the most in my relationship.  He would assume I agreed if I didn't say anything and if I couldn't 'debate' and logically make him concede (which never happened), then my complaint or opinion was null and void. 13 years of that invalidation changed me. I'm still trying to let go of the neorotic need to over explain and give "good" reasons for my needs. It really damages people.

  In my experience there are people who go to therapy (or even lie about going to therapy) and say their therapist gives them all this praise and rarely mentions things they need to work on and it becomes obvious to everyone theyre telling/bragging to that theyre most likely lying about what their therapist said.

  Thank you for acknowledging that some people really ARE surrounded by these people that make the negative environment. Often found in small towns if a group chooses you as the lightning rod of abuse, an old tactic of keeping the peace in older generations and I cannot wait for it to be eradicated from social standards. Just not cool. Svcks when it&apos;s your own family also doing it to you separately.

  My mother who is a therapist says she has been lied to, within held info, and manipulated by her clients but it&apos;s very difficult to find the reasons why or the motivations for it and she&apos;s been a therapist for over 30 years.

  Even though I&apos;m going through it, I specifically asked my therapist to be 💯 straight up with me. Regardless if he knows it might offend me bc I might get upset initially, I&apos;ll respect him and will come around to his advice after I think about what he said. If he&apos;s telling me what I want to hear, that&apos;s not helpful, it&apos;s hindering my progress. Knowing someone will be honest even if it may be hard to hear; I will not only respect him, but that builds trust. If you&apos;re there for real help and growth; it&apos;s not going to always feel good. &nbsp;I&apos;m looking for growth,healing, and tools to do the work myself.
