I'm so grateful for my therapist 💕🧿 she has saved my life on countless occasions. She stayed one hour extra when I was having a really rough night. She holds space for me and helps me on my journey to heal and love myself and she inspired me to become a clinical psychologist like her. 🥹🌻

actual thought i had today: hm. i should go back to therapy so i can rant about how much i hate people push the reconciliation narrative on jason todd. this would definitely be a good use of money and time. and also be a very thinly veiled cry for help because i would speckle in details about how similar bruce and my parents are.

i need to get out of the house more my brain is rotting

There is no good way to respond to this, but therapy is always a good idea 👍

sometimes life is about choosing a skrunkly older man and treating him well in your mind, knowing you’ll get a deep enjoyment from it and that’s it.

a quote from ~therapy~ today that really resonated with me!

just because the trauma that was imposed upon me throughout my life wasn't my fault, that doesn't mean that it isn't my responsibility. sure, it can be helpful and even appropriate at times to get reassurance from others, or even rely on other people sometimes, but that doesn't mean i can make it my only source of validation or reassurance.

On Therapy

Warning: I'm going to discuss about my 1 minor and 1 major trauma of mine. The minor one involves being deceived and the major one involves death.

This is a bit untimely, as I realized I was shadowbanned 3 days ago and thought nobody would see this post. And yes, I do write for myself but I also believe in sharing wisdom. Because I'm shadowbanned, I can't comment on posts, respond to comments (outside of these posts), or message people, and I don't think my reblogs and likes even show up. I think only people who follow me can see this post, but oh well. Hopefully, it doesn't take months or years like others who've been shadowbanned for this post to be seen outside my circle.

I'm putting a "read more" separator here.

I'm piggybacking @brasideios' post from 3-4 days ago on therapy and the importance of seeking it compared to the massive potential disaster of unresolved trauma and untreated illness. I'm going to share my experience of 1 minor trauma and 1 major trauma of mine and how therapy could've helped both.

Minor trauma: Deception

This was years ago so I didn't realize that I was still affected by me being gaslit years ago. I thought I was friends with someone. I commented a bunch on their FB posts. Later found out those comments were deleted. I asked why. Instead of telling me that they didn't want my comments to be seen by peers outside our circle (social butterfly), they tell me that it was FB's fault. I kept on commenting, and those comments kept on being deleted. Asked FB, FB denied such a glitch. Confronted friend. Things got ugly, but the worst that came was a broken friendship.

It was only recently that I realized that I don't have a trigger, per se, but a fuse that can be lit if I make compliments to people I've interacted with a bunch before, but those compliments get erased without any explanation. It's a fuse because it'll easily turn off if the person gives a reason. If there isn't a reason, the longer time goes the less rational I become. I realize now that it's because I didn't want to relive that memory, the feeling of being lied to, of being deceived, and losing a friendship (if we ever had one, to begin with).

I realized this after the fact because it happened again, except I put all of the blame on myself. I didn't directly ask "Why are you deleting my comments?" I blamed the social media site, believed the best in the person I was communicating to, and so on. I still don't know what happened... and let's be honest here, I probably won't. By the time I realized that the website was working fine, the long fuse was now a short fuse. Things snowballed. Comments kept on getting deleted. In one day, as I chose to unlock my likes and follows (may close those again if I get more spam accounts communicating with me), all of the remaining comments I gave to that person were deleted. I couldn't handle it. Ended up making them uncomfortable. We don't communicate anymore.

I still am beating myself up over this because if I had a therapist at the time, they would've easily identified the memory in the past that I identified a lot quicker. Then the solution could've been: politely ask them why comments are being deleted. Stop commenting on their stuff, wait for a response for like a month. Then prod again. Be patient. People are busy. If there's no response within a reasonable amount of time, just don't make a big deal out of it and do other things. Forget about the person and carry on with what you're doing. Don't let your imagination take over.

All a reasonable therapist would've asked was "Do you remember if a similar event ever happened to you in the past?" and things would've probably been resolved quickly, for good or ill.

Now I know, some of you are saying "Hey! That's a simple question, you should've thought it yourself at the time." To which I respond, "There's a term in history called 'backseat historian' and you're one right now." Unresolved trauma leads to illogical responses. And I'm paying for that right now. So, even for things you thought were buried and done, it could arise again, like it did with me.

Now on to the Major Trauma: Death

My mom passed away in early 2021. It was hell. Lost 1.5 years of my life because I just... we never said goodbye. And a growing part of me believes that once we die, we'll never see each other again.

Now this one would've required a very very special therapist who was an expert in Ruist culture. I didn't want a therapist that was trained in classic Western Psychology because Chinese culture was absolutely almost ruined beyond compare by Imperial Europe and America (Anti-LGBTQIA+, reinforcement of binary gender down to adding gendered pronouns in written Chinese, Stalinism, Short Hair for men [okay that's my personal belief], clothing, spheres of influence, etc.) and psychology played a massive part! I needed an expert in filial piety and annihilationism (I think that's the belief that once we die, there's no afterlife and we disappear forever).

For me, I was in a state of despair that nobody could really understand me. So I didn't seek therapy. 1.5 years down the drain. I regret that decision because, yeah, there's a high likelihood where I just storm off after the first 5 minutes, but referrals exist and I could've done a lot more research.

It wasn't until I started creatively writing that I began to heal. I write stuff that my Mom doesn't agree with (the changing of history, getting certain Chinese culture details wrong, LGBTQIA+ since she was Christian and I didn't hear her say a good thing about homosexuality). Believe it or not, this helped a lot.

But I'm certain a therapist could've dug that out too. Creatively writing about topics that would make a deceased person yell at you isn't exclusive to Ruist/Chinese culture. It probably would've taken a lot of time, swapping around different therapists, but I feel that I could've healed quicker if I went to a therapist.

Yeah, that's my story. Glad you stuck out until the end if you made it this far. Don't be afraid of seeking a therapist.

#therapy is good #just because I eventually figured it out doesn't mean everyone can #sorry to the person who probably will never read this #Learn from my mistakes #Insert George Santayana quote

therapy

it was so easy to blame my parents

for not getting me help

for not noticing that i needed it

i blamed them so i did not have to blame myself

for not advocating

for being scared

for disregarding all the advice i give to other people

but now they noticed

and im still scared

and what i've thought i needed for so long

maybe won't work after all

Hah jokes on you, i already need years of therapy anyways so thats not gonna be a problem.... yeah maybe i should look for one anyways.

Never fear, for I am a (unlicensed/terrible/illegal) therapist!! I have about a 2% success rate with my patients. Don't ask what happens to the other 97%! My usual rate is about $29,000 an hour, but as a special deal for you I'll work for a bowl of clam chowder. You may set up an appointment with my receptionist (don't look her in the eye though, because she will feel challenged and be compelled to assert dominance by ripping off your face).

I look forward to our first session!

#sorry for taking so long to answer this #I have no clue why I'm not always notified of asks?#also my receptionist may or may not be a former patient #she alo may or may not be one of my failed patients #therapy is good

Does anyone ever feel like they're an impostor for going to therapy even when they're not depressed at that moment?

So I'm all good rn, Like yes I'm subconsciously stressed about a few things but I'm also aware of them and i know I'm good at the moment

Like, I'm functioning as a person and I'm okay

But I'm gonna go to therapy because I've tried thinking of solutions to the patterns in my mind and i can't find any

So isn't it better to seek professional help, and someone i can actually tell everything without feeling like I'm burdening them?

But i feel like an impostor too, because I'm great rn, I can do things and i feel okay

But i know that I need help to work on these issues because I can't tell anyone else plus i need help processing my previous trauma because I don't know how to plus i need help identifying my triggers and emotions

So it's okay right?

I'm writing this here incase someone is in a similar thought pattern

I'm unsure because I can't help but feel like an impostor but I'm logically sure that it's the utmost right thing to do

You should opt for therapy if you feel like you need help, whether you're depressed or not

Don't wait for things to pile up so much, go and seek help when you feel that you should

When you're still feeling things and are in the mindset of wanting to, I feel like you should do and try doing things that you think will help

So idk what this post is exactly about but yes

go and seek help when you feel like

And If anyone wants to talk about something, my dms are open

I'm so not a professional but i can listen to you and help you figure out your options and give you some kind of reassurance that it's Genuinely okay to seek help

And iknow therapy is expensive 🥲😭

But there are resources which can help you out, There are pro bono options too, so please find out resources because there is always something to help

So Yes cuties, take care of yourself and don't doubt things and don't worry and ask for help when you know you need it🫶
