Right, so you agree with all of the unhinged shit he says, which makes your opinion on this matter literally moot. Everybody else on this thread has very clearly elucidated the dangerous and harmful garbage that he both intends to enact and supports. Zero response to any of this on your part. I...

My best friend in the entire world only receives the life saving medication he needs for HIV bc of Obamacare so forgive me if I'm salty that I'm being called some kind of parrot by people out here simping for a man who says N****R with a hard R with his whole chest and wants to create Gilead...

All right, I'll find the shit he has said? It isn't difficult to listen to the actual words coming out of this man's mouth to conclude that he is a slum lord racist piece of shit who says the N word openly and who told his nephew to just let his disabled kid die lmao? So can you go through this...

But not right for women, ethic and religious minorities, disabled people, homeless people, immigrants, queer people, etc etc etc etc. SRG was obviously riled up when he called you an asshole but he is correct that Trump was credibly found to have raped a lady in a court of law. He also has well...

People tell me often that I should, but I am too paranoid of reprisals from those who would know I am talking about them. I have to consider my mom and my family. It would put them at a non-zero risk of harm, and I can't take that chance. It's hard enough to even seriously talk about what...

Listen to those parts of you. This guy is a dangerous, shitty therapist. He's clearly shown you that he won't take accountability for his deeply unethical and unprofessional behavior, and he can't even get out of his own way enough to apologize! He's a dud. Time to drop this dipshit.

That's a her-problem. It's not your responsibility. Not your circus, not your monkeys. Some people have knee jerk trauma responses to hearing aversive details about trauma. I've had a lot of people get stunned and in the moment even the most well intentioned folks are like "well is he just...

I would immediately get a new therapist. Everything you've described here is a red flag. This guy is not fit to be a therapist and he's making a joke of your trauma and essentially laughing at you. Time for someone new.

I think no matter the context this was said in, this is bad therapy. Therapists aren't there to tell you what to do, they're only there to help you realize what will make you happy. If talking to your mom is a goal that you have, he should be supporting this and helping you develop skills to...

Do you mean he said "don't talk to your family, don't keep good boundaries, stop going to work, all of your goals are wrong"? Because if so, dump this guy. He's a piece of shit and a dangerous therapist. But, I'm curious as to what the actual interaction consisted of - are those the actual...

Also, your therapist is dead wrong anyway. Narrative Exposure Therapy is a proven PTSD treatment. It is essentially just structured journaling.

Political extremism on either side is maladaptive. I consider myself to be fairly far-left (I think money is stupid and evil and should be abolished entirely, lol), but the group of people making it actively unsafe in my country for me to walk down the street? Who shout at me - a stranger whose...

This is actually a very normal response to being placed in situations with prolonged lack of stimulation (i.e solitary confinement) and reoccurring trauma both in young children and in adults as well. When I was inpatient people would do stuff like that, it's something that happens when you...

I'd say try 30mg! See how you feel. If nothing, try 60. You can take up to 120mg safely according to the FDA. (I just say 120 for safety but I do take higher doses here and there, but I know a lot about this drug and my own body so I cannot recommend that to anyone else, but my avolition and...

Educated. Either institutionally or autodidactically, Know Stuff. Able to keep themselves composed emotionally. Crucially, willing to get out of their own way and let me lead. I promise I just want to vent for an hour and have you go "oh yeah, that sounds rough," and then I'll leave lmao. Able...

Well, not like it's illegal for you to try PTSD treatments! It may or may not work, since you may or may not have PTSD. EMDR induces neurogenesis by a process of bilateral pathway stimulation, so if you're suffering severely it may be of benefit to try. If it doesn't help, though, you could also...

Better than I used to. The primary thing I do is monitor the way I think about and talk about it. I keep it to facts only, no opinions. Yes, it would not be productive for me to approach them. It's likely that they have disabilities, trauma, PTSD, etc. There is no utility to intruding on their...

I am on income assistance, not disability. You need to have a medical doctor sign the forms (even though my disability is better diagnosed and assessed by a psychologist, apparently that's not good enough even though they are also doctors) and there are no medical doctors where I live. It costs...

You might want to give it a shot, because DXM is an entheogen and it is known to increase feelings of wellbeing and harmony/cooperation. So it may very well cancel out the "meanness." But if you notice that you're still mean after a few days or a week or so, you can safely just stop taking it.

You'll have to be more specific. Sexual abuse can certainly result in hypersexuality, yes. Abusive behavior is not in the diagnostic criteria for PTSD, but PTSD can cause people to be more likely to abuse if they are unmanaged, have additional factors like combat Conditioned Emotional Responses...

Forensically and psychologically? Absolutely. I am one of the people who tortured for a reason. It was part of my job, or my role. I have regret for what I did and I experience remorse. I did not always experience remorse, and I still struggle to feel guilt, though I have in brief moments (both...

You were preyed upon. Children don't know how to recognize predators not because they're stupid. It's because that is a complex psychological mechanism that takes even full grown adults decades to learn how to spot. I know for a fact you would not tell a little girl who thought grown men were...

The way I view self-hood is pretty different to how I've heard others describe it, but maybe it might help to consider it from another perspective. Personally I think people mythologize this concept too much. The idea of a self is this intrinsic, spiritual quality that must be discovered or...

Well like, eyewitness testimony and personal experiences are acceptable pieces of evidence to submit to court, but these are often not irrefutable proof the way DNA, blood, etc. is. Evidence is all the available information, *proof* means that our conclusions are categorically true beyond doubt...

I have nerve damage in that area which causes the same symptoms. For me it's not somatic, it's nerve damage. It's called the pudendal nerve. It can also cause urinary issues.
