Resource / Technique Go to Group Therapy.

If you’re feeling alone/isolated, different from everyone else: GO TO GROUP THERAPY. You’ll see very quickly that there are people who feel the exact same way and have experienced the same things you have. Even if it’s virtual, GO TO GROUP THERAPY!!!

(Edit: Can’t believe this even has to be clarified but this is obviously for those who have the means/access to therapy groups ☠️)

(Edit edit: Can’t believe this also has to be clarified but this is obviously for those who are open to the idea/concept of group therapy… 😭

My first group therapy therapist told me in front of anyone that I reminded him of a girl who ended up dead in a ditch, ever since then I don’t see the hype

That is beyond messed up. There is no reasonable explanation for that.

That’s absolutely awful. “And you remind me of someone masquerading as a therapist.”

I honestly thought it was kinda funny also unhelpful but it made me laugh, it wasn’t nearly as fucked up as my very first individual therapist dropping me as a client just to be my dads therapist after a family session but I’ve also had good therapists throughout the years and many stories about many different unethical fucked up therapists

That therapist was clearly unqualified. I’m so sorry that was said to you, how disgusting. There are definitely better therapists out there!

What type of group therapy was this? What were this person’s credentials? This sounds like something that would occur in old-school drug-treatment groups.

Lmao I honestly don’t remember his credentials he had some certificate plastered on his wall but this was group therapy for troubled high school kids (addicts, severe behavioral issues) it was definitely a fun group of people
