I’m in the psych ward because I’m
Getting close to an attempt. You changed my life Dr k, I’m helping others in here. I’ve helped someone by showing them there is another way that things can happen. Corrective experiences. And they’ve changed a lot since I’ve been here in the short time I have. That’s because of you. And I’m never gonna ever stop
This can be misinterpreted. It doesn't mean that all venting is a solution. It's more about, when you put yourself in those shoes, this time you get the support, you get the validation, you do not get dismissed or ghosted or hurt.
My friend almost fought me cuz I told him I'm a feminist-man. He kept insisting that I was a manly-man. Why is he so toxicly masculine?
Look into the legalities of what you can and cannot share with a therapist. If something was illegal or life-threatening. This can put the client at risk of legal action towards them and all parties involved. Look at the Statue of limitations of what those traumas were done to you. This can open a can of "legal actions" that cannot be put back in the can.
It's better to repress those illegal traumatic memories of the past as they can haunt you in your future If you're therapist must take what you said to appropriate authorities of illegal actions or the threat of illegal actions.
Bring you back into the proximity of your traumatizer/predator.
This is just one of the reasons why trauma is hard to overcome.
First thing I want to tell you is that "talking therapy doesn't cure trauma" Dr. Bassel van der kolk
You truly are the best psychiatrist. I love your clips.
Therapy never helped me. I hope to find something else. The more I talk about my trauma the worse I feel.
After speaking about it though you may want to "drown" your sorrows 🍷
Venting is not enough.
How about our cells copying pictures of that trauma … .
I don't think that's right. you, the âcdemics got it wrong.
Sharing my traumas and stories online helped me alot!
Cool already done it
Talking about it does not help me. It makes me worse.
I spend every therapy session with this supposed trauma therapist explaining how my trauma has hijacked my body and I need his help getting it out.
Is there therapy for non-traumatized people?
I absolutely believe in dealing with a trauma. But, its critical to not retraumatise. It has to be done very carefully.
I agree and going to a therapist for this is so useful because, in my experience, venting to my now ex partner just led him to resent me and call me negative- he wanted me to suppress my feelings.
I thought in some cases it doesn’t help you? I guess it’s if you avoid talking about it but I always felt drained every time I went.
I have CPTSD from lifelong trauma. I just went through a year and half of the most extreme trauma and just found a temporary safe space. The thing is that you have to have someone you trust to vent to. My only shoulder isn't a therapist but my social worker and someone I talk to and know from FB but never met
Thank you. I thought you were just reliving your trauma or problems with psychotherapy.
Does this only work when you talk about it or has writing the same effect?
This actually happens. It's not gloom and doom, it's liberation.
This is wrong on so many levels. This happens only to some people. For others it can make it so much worse.
Then what the fuck do I need a therapist for?
1. Talk about trauma with your partner/relative/friend. 2. Open up social media and vent there.
Outcome: you’ve just saved a lot of money
so, do you mean to say that therapy makes negative emotions go away, or that it gives you the ability to take action despite the emotion's presence?
Talking about trauma often makes it worse. Bad therapists will keep you going round in circles not recognising this. People need strategies to work with behaviours that keep them stuck in the trauma, not just catharsis. Traumatised people often make their own symptoms worse inadvertently
