Bad Therapy is Bad

When you know what you should be doing but you're not doing it, someone telling you what you should be doing is not helpful. Likewise, someone telling you to think positive thoughts whilst avoiding negative thoughts because it's better for you is not helpful. Telling someone to do good things and not do bad things is not helpful. Telling someone to exercise and take pills to solve their problems is not helpful. Telling someone that they're choosing to listen to their "bad self" as opposed to their "inner self" is not helpful. Telling someone they're choosing to continue to be abused by people in their past is not helpful. Telling someone their lack of faith in God is a choice for treatment that they're neglecting is not helpful.

I was told all of these things by my therapist today. There is so much more fucked up shit that he told me as advice, not to mention the emotional support I gave him to deal with his grief from his wife.

It's funny that people are told to tell suicidal people to "seek help" when the help available is so full of shit. Think positive! The Lord provides! You'll only not believe unless you choose to, then it's your fault. Fix yourself, you can do it! Your inner self is awesome but you're choosing to listen to the devil inside you!

Fuck these therapists.
