It would be fun to see if I couldn't make the therapist have a mental breakdown or existential crisis of sorts, but I agree with you.

You don't know how to talk to yourself. Why haven't you done it already if that was the case? All the answers you will get are surface level. You won't truly explore the deep topics. Also, therapists know how to get issues within your inner child out, you do not. This isn't only due to the fact that you're scared, but also due to them knowing where to target, you people aren't special, the cases have been seen millions of times before. You people will not improve with your current mindsets. There lies so much contradiction yet you fail to see.

Therapy will make you not to type emojis at the end of the sentence

No, they are not. The exact methods are applied upon most groups of users here due to that exact reason. It all stems from trauma. The reasoning may be different but it's ultimately one. Chronic trauma is very easy to treat if you want to fix it. Most users here just refuse to.

No, you are not. Most people say this but they truly are not. You are a teenager, I can tell you for a fact you don't know what you're talking about. You won't ever go to your underlying issues. You will project with internalized facts that are false (i.e. someone saying they hate humans instead of acknowledging they're scared of not fitting in due to being different.)

"bring out your inner child" ok freud lets cool the jets TwT

Everything is based upon that.

first off than you for expressing your opinion i do find it very interesting ^w^
now:

this is purely the psychodynamic theory, I like freud and some of his teachings but realistically there is no scientific basis to this!
there is nothing wrong with trauma and you do not need to fix it, it defines us as people, id rather live with everything bad that has happened to me than try and "fix it"

No, you are not. Most people say this but they truly are not. You are a teenager, I can tell you for a fact you don't know what you're talking about. You won't ever go to your underlying issues. You will project with internalized facts that are false (i.e. someone saying they hate humans instead of acknowledging they're scared of not fitting in due to being different.)

I never said I know my underlying issues, I said I know my needs and my wants, which I do
I am always very emotionally aware, I know what is making me feel the way it is
even if it is an "underlying" issue I don't mind
I am different, I can admit that
I don't hate, I love
even if my issues are due to my childhood, such as not being over my ex because of some wierd dependency, I dont mind
I would rather live with my emotions and feel them all instead of trying to find the underlying cause or trying to solve them

and your claim of everything being based on the childhood again is just a theory it is not scientifically proven

 

[puppyboy264]

idk i like it , yk talking with someone

I do get what you mean
everyone needs to talk to someone ^u^

its just to me it feels like an emotional escort (if that makes sense @-@)
like you pay an escort to pleasure you physically
you pay a therapist to pleasure you emotionally!

but i do get it at some level, I just think that talking to your friends (who are just as inexperienced as you) has some level of rawness that talking to a therapist will never have \o-o/

So there's nothing wrong with feeling depressed..? I'm not advocating for therapy when the person is just slightly sad. The point is for the depressed. Therapy doesn't "fix" anything either, it makes you accept it. Not sure where you got that belief from.

this is purely the psychodynamic theory, I like freud and some of his teachings but realistically there is no scientific basis to this!

How is it not true exactly? The "treatment" can be different, sure, but it's very similar in the end. Accepting something and getting over it is not a complicated process but rather a time consuming one.

I never said I know my underlying issues, I said I know my needs and my wants, which I do

And that's not what I was arguing for.

Knowing your needs and wants is irrelevant.
Knowing what is making you feel a certain way is irrelevant.
You not minding the underlying issue means you're not the target audience.
Admitting difference is not difficult.
Cool, that's still a symptom.
You not minding means it hasn't snowballed enough, your points are irrelevant to the thing I was pointing at. The point also assumed you had some sort of depression. Why would you care about any of this if you're happy?
Once again, nothing is fixed, what happens is you accept it all. What you're saying you do is an inefficient method of therapy at best and a defense mechanism to run away at the worst.

and your claim of everything being based on the childhood again is just a theory it is not scientifically proven

It is..? It's proven that within the first years of life is when children form personalities the most. It's also proven that trauma within childhood carries into adulthood. Before arguments like "so trauma doesn't matter as an adult as everything is based upon childhood" is brought up or something similar, you know that's not what I meant. Everyone here is a victim of their childhood, they're almost never old enough or in the specific circumstances for their personality to not be fully shaped by their environment.

I think we have diverted a bit from the topic @-@
but really quick i do wanna agree and disagree with some things:
A. If someone has clinical depression it is 100% crucial they see a psychiatrist, not just a therapist, so you are correct on this front
B. someone mentioned it earlier in the thread but alot of modern therapists push addictive antidepressants which I also dislike
C. my issues have snowballed pretty bad and I have been at some pretty low lows in my life but i think i overcame them better than what any therapist would help me do
my main point for this post was this:
How are people content with talking to therapists, when they are paid to listen to you

I do get what you mean
everyone needs to talk to someone ^u^

its just to me it feels like an emotional escort (if that makes sense @-@)
like you pay an escort to pleasure you physically
you pay a therapist to pleasure you emotionally!

but i do get it at some level, I just think that talking to your friends (who are just as inexperienced as you) has some level of rawness that talking to a therapist will never have \o-o/

refer to this

I do agree with most of the points you explained, however I dont think it is crucial to "fix" all your problems, especially with the help of a therapist. I think problems, trauma and imperfections make a person and trying to "fix" it changes the person towards the negative? if you get what i mean!!

but personality (and major issues) develop not just the first couple of years of life, but until like 27-30 ^_^
I do think I misunderstood you a bit though, I thought you meant like the first 3-4 years of life (basically what freud was talking about) because that specifically has been disproved (sexual issues existing because you cant sleep with your mom and stuff) but you are correct on alot of that too!!!

I might need therapy after reading the way u type in ur threads

It's too absolute, it's only sometimes where a psychiatrist is needed.

B. someone mentioned it earlier in the thread but alot of modern therapists push addictive antidepressants which I also dislike

Those are psychiatrists. I would not recommend one unless you're going to kill yourself. Therapy is better in most other cases.

C. my issues have snowballed pretty bad and I have been at some pretty low lows in my life but i think i overcame them better than what any therapist would help me do

Not a point as you don't know the contrary. Also, getting over them doesn't mean you won't get back down on the issue. The point of therapy is to fully "heal" from it.

How are people content with talking to therapists, when they are paid to listen to you

Because normal people cannot properly listen and give good advice. When you trauma dump it usually makes people feel worse which correlates that feeling with you, it's why men are told to not trauma dump onto women, they are much less of a "rock" compared to men.

I do agree with most of the points you explained, however I dont think it is crucial to "fix" all your problems, especially with the help of a therapist. I think problems, trauma and imperfections make a person and trying to "fix" it changes the person towards the negative? if you get what i mean!!

Trauma can teach you lessons, build character, and harm you. The entire point is to help the harmful aspects by accepting it all. You will still be you but with a better mental state. The point of fixing the trauma when it's not bothering you is to stop any possible future issues. People not seeing that they're bad & constantly changing reality to make themselves feel better is something people need to accept as an example, it causes new perspectives to be formed and helps overall. I'm also not sure what negative stems from healing from trauma. Most users here were bullied, abused, neglected, etc.

but personality (and major issues) develop not just the first couple of years of life, but until like 27-30 ^_^

The biggest impact is within the first couple of years, that's the point I was getting at. Trauma is mostly during childhood as you cannot fix being neglected at 3 vs 30 for example.
