Uh

Hooty

You do realize that gender dysphora is classified as a mental defect right?

Because

It's an imbalance

In the brain

Like how other mental illnesses are imbalances in the brain.

So yes. Transgenderism is, by definition, a mental disorder.

If you take offense to this then you're just overly sensitive.

read the articles

Is sociopathy mental illness? As i understand you can predict that from brains of a child as well.

And i am NOT comparing the two just stating that your statement that is is not mental illness due to reasons of brain differences might not be as valid as you think.

@M4Gunner I'm a researcher in Philosophy. I don't have clients

No. On Theory of Mind and Mental Health

Trans was just where we ended up

A lot of things have been called illnesses in history. As i understand not believing in god was one of them.

conversation

I've worked in counselling prior which is where the work experience comes from

but that was basic "lets just say nice things to you and hope it helps because we have no money to train anyone" shit

oh and provide links to online CBT courses 😛

oh yeah its atrocious

6 month training course to be a practitioner in CBT in the UK. No prior relevent qualifacations needed. Fucking disgusting

Therapy, imo, requires time and investment on the therapists part to figure out what each patient would actually respond too

Most either don't feel they have to do that, or literally have a work load so high they can't

Eh...

Most people who engage in self-improvement shit are already doing CBT to the level a therapist would teach them to anyway

^ agreed

Well as i understand what psychoanalysts say are less important as compared what patients say. Usually the main point of it is to make the people self-reflect.

@Omsomething yah, which means if you are already a reflective person its often just frustrating

That is CBT

Maybe, could be something one should talk with his psycho analyst.

the rest is just window dressing to make you BELIEVE you are doing something more

because that belief has been shown to have marked effects on success

It takes a lot of trust from the side of the pscyhoanalyst to have more "sharp edges" since it can really clam some people up.

I assume.

No expert here.

I agree with all of that @Omsomething @M4Gunner

I wonder is there a book named "How to train your psychoanalyst" out there?

Pills can be good at that point. I've found that one of the things meds are good for is quieting parts of the mind so you can see new and different perspectives in the moments of stress. Then use these insights without the meds after the fact.

Eh
