and start attacking CBT
ok I think I kinda get it x)
we should be using this a pushing point for healtchare
in the US
if mass shootings are a consequence of mental illness then we need to make treatment accessible
but everyone goes after guns
agreed
cuz they're so fucking reactionary
But mental health right now is reactionary
most politics are reactionary
like marketing and PR use analytic psychology
sec
Because it actually gives a better roadmap of human behaviour
CBT is just an exercise in conforming to problematic systems
shit maybe i should get some counselling
Yeah the truth is psychotherapy aka talk therapy
works
but it just takes a while
CBT is the mcdonalds of therapy
honestly I've really only started taking more of an interest in mental health because of my SO and her experiences
she finally got into psychotherapy and it helped her overcome some serious trauma from being raped as a kid
I don't want to self-diagnose but I struggle to find some happiness in this system we live in
Being labled never helped her
the news is just so fucking depressing
but to stay informed I have to read it
its masochistic
And she got me a good therapist too
who never told me i have anything but some shitty child hood stuff to work through
and to just get some actual discussion I have to hangout in brigaded forums to try and talk about the shit that pisses me off
yeah people are collectively anxious af
My college has a counselling service that I should probably take some time to see
in this era in the west
and my father whos a psych tells me shit that makes my blood boil
Please go on
Like behind closed doors they dont even believe the dsm
I don't think I can get more upset than I already am
@Nicholas91 that's fucked up
dsm?
@Nicholas91 what does your GF have?
They think it at bests describes some patterns that people have in response to trauma and so on
