A really big part of therapy is learning how to communicate what happened, what is happening, and what you are feeling.
It takes a lot of time to organize it all into words that another person would understand, and doing so helps you.
The therapist might aslo reccomend what to do going forward but 9/10 times you already know that.
If you think you picked a bad partner because there's something wrong with you because of how you were parented, actually a bad partner sought you out because they saw those vulnerabilities in you.
Be the leaf
It’s ok to look back at a painful event and have empathy for that younger person, then you can either stay there or accept any wisdom to be learned and write the next chapter but you can’t live in both places at once.
What is is an anchor for what can be.
That one's from Adam Savage
Also, know that you have no control over the choices of others.
Oh you can have control

A friend of mine thinks we're due for a revolution, but isn't going to start anything unilaterally. Does that constitute "a danger to himself or others"?
A danger to fascists presumably, which I’d say is a good thing
Not if your therapist tells the fascists!
perhaps they're being realistic?
a revolution is really over due and not just in the US, mind you but whoever starts one is prone to being hunted down and used as an example...
Inside every man are two wolves...
Not even kidding. I had a therapist tell me this story once. I promptly found a new therapist.
Did you get GPT Therapisted?
This was in January of 2023, right when chat gpt was becoming popular. So it's possible, but I think it was just a crappy therapist, it was free through my employee benefits. ~6 sessions per year were free, I never used any more, found a real therapist.
Yes its *possible, but not plausible_
Best advice I got about my all time present self criticism was:"Imagine the self criticism or self hate in the voice of someone you don't like and don't respect. Donald Trump for example."
It makes the voice in my head that says:"You are a worthless piece of shit." entertaining at least.
There has never been a more worthless piece of shit and let me tell you I know everything about shit and being worthless someone I know and they are very smart told me that you are the best worthless piece of shit they've ever seen and there has never been a shittier piece of worthless ever and I would know.
"If someone met your expectations would you be mad?"
"No"
"Then maybe your expectations are too high?"
Set boundaries and enforce them.
you don't need a therapist to teach you how to be selfish and sociopathic. western culture does that just fine on its own.
Pain is relative. Yes other people may have it worse than you. The worst pain you've felt in your life is still the worst, for you. So don't write it off so easily.
Someone, not a therapist, told me pain isn't a competition. I don't have to wait for my pain to be worse than the pain of the people around me before I go get help for myself.
In this case, I had physical pain I put off getting checked because it wasn't worse than what why partner deals with daily. Turned out I needed antibiotics for a bad infection.
"You don't have to be mad at yourself for that any more"
"What good does worrying about that part of your past do your current self?"
"Come on, now. You know that's not true"
"Don't reply to messages from your ex'
I hear these and I’ve had some therapy but I don’t know how to believe the lines and not dwell.
“You don’t have to be mad at yourself for that any more”
“What good does worrying about that part of your past do your current self?”
For these ones I don't really have control over that. My brain gets itself all worked up before I have any say in the matter.
"When you're fighting with someone, think of it as tug-of-war. You choose how long you hold that rope, but you can put it down, or not even pick it up. Either way, neither of you are really going anywhere until one of you chooses to walk away."
There's a member of my family I strongly dislike, so I had to work on not taking the bait.
Get a hobby, get outside. Doesn't have to cost much either.
Sometimes in the summer I go to the beach before work and cook my breakfast there on a camping stove burning driftwood as fuel.
"lmao"
I won at therapy a few months ago. My doctor threw up his hands and went "I don't know what to tell you. Your situation is so fucked up that I can't even offer advice. Just keep on keeping on, I guess." And that actually made me feel better.
Look at that ! It kinda makes me feel a little better, too !
