Wait, CBT is... a hard kick to the balls?

Oh, hell no. I like laughing at people getting hit in the balls, but not getting hit there myself.

I think a lot of people are frustrated sometimes when somebody expresses that therapy just "doesn't work" for them, and I used to feel that way, too, until I realized that the therapy that I was doing just wasn't right for me.

When people think therapy, I think many just assume it's all cognitive behavioural therapy and that that is the only kind of therapy out there. However, this isn't true, and CBT can absolutely be ineffective for certain situations. If you are confused by this idea, here's an example: when I was in the midst of my most recent abusive circumstance, not only was my therapy weaponized against me by my abuser, but also, the therapists I had were ill-prepared to treat ongoing abuse. They had the tools common for CBT, but there is only so much a victim can do before their circumstances are completely out of their control. In a case like this, CBT can be an unhelpful tool alone, which is why you have people who blanket statement say that all therapy is unhelpful (understandable why one would say that if they haven't had any helpful/good experiences).

It seems like people see this idea that "therapy doesn't work" as an automatic red flag, and certainly, I can imagine why one would think that. However, in a healthcare system that generally prioritizes CBT therapy as the "only therapy," it's helpful to remember that CBT isn't always the best option or the best option alone.

Confession: Iron Bull asking to be hit with the stick in that one scene still has such a hold on me. I want to hurt that man so badly (horny + consensual). I want to hit his ass with a spiked mace until he bleeds. I want to stick needles into his dick and kick him in the balls and desperately try to make him cry (knowing I would not succeed). I'm both a horrible rancid little sadist and down exceptionally bad

Have to unfollow folks who post very intellectual writings that persuasively pick apart modern-day therapy techniques. No matter how good the debunking of therapy sounds, CBT is literally the reason I'm alive today.

Talked about this in a tag rant, but in mental health advocacy spaces or mental health awareness spaces, it is imperative that we stop treating cognitive behavioural therapy as the Only Option or the Best Option. As a survivor, having CBT therapists coach me through ongoing abuse was very unhelpful at best. At a certain point, going to my "mind palace" did not help me go home to a place that was a threat to me.

Yes, there are good uses for CBT. No, that doesn't mean that it is the only option for helping people who are struggling. It is dangerous to prop up CBT as the only option. It is dangerous to not inform a patient about all treatment options and what would look best for them (it's also dangerous how insurance may only cover CBT therapists, too. It is extremely dangerous.)

#mental health #mental health advocacy #abuse #abuse tw #abuse mention tw #like yes i do apply *some* cbt techniques to my daily life but that didn't mean that i was helped significantly by it #also before somebody says i'm biased: yes i am. having 10+ years of nothing but CBT therapy (and a freudian/jungian therapist) didn't help #the freudian/jungian therapist was the worst by FAR tbf. like no other therapist can hold a candle to him #idk if he was a follower of jung or freud and tbh they're pretty similar if you don't know what to look for #and i wasn't in his 'care' for long before he literally fired me as a client #who would win: a literal teenager OR a fifty-year-old who sides with the kid's abuser #ANYWAY. that's tonight's devious little rant. i would literally melt if i couldn't rant like a madman #call me no-bark noonan the way i rant and rave <3

I really, really hate having borderline personality disorder.

#I really really hate it #and the no medicine or cure or way to manage it beyond just 'hey maybe don't react like your brain tells you to and logic it out' #yeah I know CBT can help but its so volatile that even training yourself to think differently only lowers the peaks and troffs #that isn't how you spell that word huh #whatever #borderline personality disorder #tw mental health #mental health #mental health tw

everytime i try to talk with a school therapist about my social anxiety, they just say that i just need to talk more socialize more and all my anxiety will go away... they never understand a single thing

- 🪦💤

and totally unrelated, theres this two classmates that make me fucking uncomfortable till i want to puke

hey 🪦💤 anon,

yeah, socialising more isn’t a cure-all for social anxiety. it’s not like you have a few conversations and start to feel better. it’s not like social anxiety is just a term for when someone hasn’t socialised in a while and needs to get used to it again, brush up on their social skills. 

social anxiety is fear. real fear. it’s not something that arises from lack of experience. yeah, positive social interactions can teach your brain that the Bad Consequences (judgement, humiliation) aren’t always going to happen. and that can lessen fear. 

but the world isn’t all positive interactions. and a few negative ones can worsen the fear. really, a person needs a support system, coping strategies, they need to have tools for communication, and they need to know that they’re worth something. 

‘socialise more’ without any accompanying advice, is a throwaway that won’t alleviate the anxieties. 

have never heard of a ‘school therapist’ before. where i was, we had counsellors. seems similar but am not sure. but from experience, think i got lucky. 

my school counsellor didn’t force me to speak to her. spent a lot of time sitting in silence. she told me it wasn’t my fault that i was so anxious; told me i was very strong because dealt with such high levels of anxiety all the fucking time. encouraged me to build support system, but didn’t push it. she taught me techniques of harm reduction and anxiety management. 

don’t know what your situation is, if school therapist isn’t helping with anxiety, maybe you could ask them to help with a referral to another therapist. if they truly want to help you, they won’t take offence at this and will provide resources. they can help fill in forms and chase them up if waiting lists are long. 

also, i think the ‘socialise more’ kind of advice might not be on the level of help you need. 

i learned the hard way that there are levels of support that’s given to people. this varies place to place. but i think the principle is the same: many many people seek support for their mental health and most of them don’t need support for mental disorders. they need help for relationship issues, or maybe they’ve been feeling overwhelmed or stressed lately, but not disorders. 

 so the cheapest way to train professionals to help that many people, is to offer only basic and brief training. where i am, this is the difference between low and high intensity cbt. 

‘socialise more’ might be the basic life advice that’s needed by someone who’s feeling a bit nervous in a new place for the first time. but for someone who’s struggling with an anxiety Disorder, it’s not the right help. 

also those classmates sound like assholes, go ahead and puke on them. 🌹🌹🌹

I've had men say they want me to lovebite their foreskins, and lads, trust me. you do not want my fucking killer teeth and bite force to do that. it's not worth it. my fucking tongue and hands have little chunks missing out of them, from me accidentally biting myself so much. i have no pressure control, when i bite stuff, it's a bite to maim and mangle. be careful what you wish for.
