Are therapists/psychologists psychopaths?

They want to control our mind. Scary.
They didn’t help me. I cancelled my therapist and told her its not helping and that meds help me. I feel that I wasted my time with her. She was driving me crazy.

It was a waste of time for negative symptoms. She wont raise my dopamine with her words haha

My therapist texted/called today and insisted that I go to the Thanksgiving dinner today, with about 30 to 40 people. I then checked with my primary care physician, and she advised against it, so I didn’t go.

I had this psychologist who was crazy I don’t know how to explain it he was crazy I threatened to sue him I thought he was gonna me go to the hospital although I wasn’t psychotic. I talked to him because my social worker from the hospital thought I might like going to therapy where he was one of the providers. I walked out of there as soon as I could he was so creepy

Honestly I feel like most docs are on a huge power trip. But tbh I prefer psychologists cause they seem to listen better than psychiatrists

I guess they can help some ppl but not others.

Honestly I’m probably beyond help RIP

Maybe I didn’t benefit from the therapist bcz I am beyond help.

I wouldn’t mind a therapist with real life experience, friendly and caring. Not stuffy uppity condescending jerks that don’t really care. I don’t like therapy but everyone is different.

I heard horror stories about psychologists here and from my parents. They can create false memories of abuse and create problems in the family or even break it.

We are even more vulnerable to false memories since we are mentally ill.

No they are psycho…therapist…ologists

Sorry for the joke lol.

Some can be pretty cold though. Imagine dealing with like 300 crazies. You gotta be a bit guarded as a psych to protect their own mind. That’s how I see it anyway

Honestly psychiatrists can do that too it happened to me. Anyone with that kind of power can abuse it

If you can afford to shop around you might find a therapist that works well with you. Psychologists are not God. They cannot understand everyone. There are more certain types a psychologist might help, and another psychologist might understand and help another type. For a long time I thought I would do better with a female pdoc than a male pdoc because I fear intimacy with a man. Women have their hazards for me too, though. It all takes money, though. If you don’t have money you have to take what you can get.

I feel better with a male psychiatrist. I can’t talk about sexual problems with a female psychiatrist.

My therapist was pretty supportive. Not sure I’ll be able to go for my long term counselling referral as it starts next year and I’ll hopefully be working by then. Really Defo an annoying clash. As I could really benefit from it. It’s good to get reassurance from a professional wen you have no friends

I’ve suffered much damage from a lot of therapists my whole life both male and female, gay and straight. I refuse all therapy now.
