I just started seeing a therapist for the first time and I've been sort of uncomfortable with her approach. Her intake forms asked for a lot of really heavy information and then during the first session, without ever talking about why I was there or what I was hoping to get out of therapy or even establishing any kind of relationship or rapport, she just started going down the list of boxes checked on my form and asking me to elaborate. So I sat and talked about a million aspects of childhood trauma for two hours with a complete stranger who seemed like she was just trying to get the facts down and wasn't even asking me about how I felt about any of it. It was bizarre and exhausting. I was there because I was experiencing extreme stress at my new job and having a hard time managing my emotions during those periods of stress. I've now had two sessions and all we've talked about is trauma and the personalities of my parents and I don't know why. I'm sure it's important to discuss but it's not helping with my work stress. If anything, it's just giving me more to be stressed about. I really appreciate the timing of hearing from Dr. Kirk not just once but twice recently about how it's a bad idea to just jump straight into things like that and I feel like it's validating my suspicions that this isn't going to be the right therapist for me.

@@ginao6810 I decided to stop seeing her. She wasn't listening to me at all and the last straw was when she said she didn't believe I could be autistic because "autistic people don't have empathy". Yiiiiikes. I've had two more therapists since then but I feel like I haven't found the right one just yet. I'm still trying, though. I have an intake appointment with a new one this week and I'm hopeful but I think if this one doesn't work out then I have to take a break for a while. This is exhausting.

@@queenoblivia far out. As someone on the spectrum I promise you WE HAVE EMPATHY! And since I wasn’t diagnosed (with ADHD) until last year at 34 years old, it’s quite possible you possibly are on the spectrum too. I don’t know how old you are, but when I was a child ADHD was for unruly boys. Girls who excelled at school and couldn’t possibly have that. I’ve never been able to find a therapist I click with that I can see regularly. But I have had good experiences with NA group meetings. That has been the most effective form of therapy in my life, partly because I find people who have experienced similar things to me, but also because it’s free and available multiple times a week. It’s not the same as one on one therapy, but I have done a lot of work on myself through that. Not sure if anything like that applies to you. But maybe there’s a support group that’s relevant to you in your area that you could go to until you find a therapist you click with. You deserve support.

When Dee was repeating tell me I’m good over and over it reminded me of a time I was shopping and a toddler was being yelled at by his mom. She kept saying “you’re bad” repeatedly and the poor child was begging her and saying, “no, mommy, I, not bad, tell me I’m good, tell me I’m good.” I’ve never wanted to rip a child away from a parent more than I did in that moment. She just refused and wouldn’t even say that whatever it was he did was bad but that he was good and she loved him. Sigh, some seriously eff up their kids. This was in public, I can only imagine what she’d say in private.

I love that he emphasized that an "unruly" child with bad behavior is a symptom of the real problem. It took me way too many years to realize that my parents were the problem and not me. It was constant complaints of my behavior as a teen, meanwhile my dad is the stereotype of a Middle Eastern dad wherein "if you're not first you're last" and my mom responded to my eating disorder and self-injury by calling me a "psycho" on a regular basis. Not shocking that, as an adult, I barely talk to either of them.

@ginao6810 Жыл бұрын

That sounds awful. I came to that conclusion after watching Supernanny. I remember watching it on tv in the 2000s, and then binged it for weeks in the pandemic. Every episode started with unruly children. Jo came in and sets the parents straight, changes rules that aren’t working, puts in some better strategies, and the episode finishes with children who have learnt to behave themselves. When it didn’t work, it’s because the parents gave up on the strategies too soon, or when it got tough. Their ego’s were bruised and they got defensive. Yes it’s a formulaic tv show, and I’m sure there are cases where this would work with wider diagnoses of both parents and children. But most of the time you fix the parenting and you fix the kid’s behaviour. Many parents put so much pressures on themselves, and many do the best they can. But others look at the child without looking at the child’s key stimuli - their parents!

It's about a woman who has panic and depression, runs into her boyfriend from when she was in high school, feels limerence ("like glitter was exploding inside me!") and abruptly follows him from NYC to a small suburb in LA County. It's a musical comedy and has many, many mental health-themed songs. I think you'll enjoy the music videos "This Session Is Going To Be Different" (sung by the therapist who wants her client to confront her issues) and A Diagnosis, which is about the protagonist desperately wanting an accurate mental health diagnosis. The show is available on Netflix and all 130-odd music videos are on KZfaq. Enjoy!

hey doc! Just curious, I’ve had 2 great therapists so far. My first therapist relocated but I was fortunate to get transferred to an equally awesome and professional therapist. I crack jokes sometimes, Ive been told I have a colorful way of describing things. Its my way of coping I guess. Anyways, I noticed something both therapists had in common. They try really hard not to laugh when I kno for a fact they want too! Sometimes they cave and we share a good laugh together. Been wondering if this was a therapist code of conduct thing and maybe I shouldn’t crack jokes or try to get a laugh outta them? I don’t feel like I’m over the top with my humor in a way it overshadows the session. I haven’t ruled out the possibility that my jokes are just awful, either. Figured I’d start here lol

@spatty918 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not Dr. Honda, but I am a therapist. :) I practice in Canada, but we have no definitive code of conduct around laughter. Personally, I use humour with clients (but not all) and it's typically based on the relationship and the motivation behind the humour. Sometimes clients will use humour to self-soothe when they are emotionally dysregulated, in which case I'll create space for that (or use it myself, if I know them well). However, I might offer feedback if I get the sense that humour is being used as a form of avoidance instead. That's not necessarily a bad thing because it might be an indicator that we are headed into territory that is too much for them or they need more support and preparation in embracing uncomfortable feelings. Also, I know it can be scary, but you have every right to ask your therapist questions about their approach, what is/isn't appropriate, and to tell them how you feel when they don't laugh. In fact, it's a great thing to bring up with a therapist whom you trust and know will validate your request for feedback and clarification. Bringing a question like this and relevant feelings into the session might offer an explanation, a corrective experience, the possibility of having the need met, or it might mean finding a different fit. (For the record, I also think I'm hilarious and want a therapist who chuckles alongside me, but will keep me focused if I'm trying to dodge a heavy topic or emotion, as well).

I have made mine laugh while i was telling about an incident at work and the way I mimicked my boss, was so funny to her, she told me I should consider stand up comedy 🤣 and I wasn’t even trying to make this funny. But friends also told me, that the way I deliver a story is sometimes too funny. Haha but my mind is the same, I think there is nothing wrong with laughing. Also for a therapist. 😊
