“They say the goal of therapy is to help you feel better, but all these “turn your thoughts off for a small break from thinking and feeling” activities do NOT make me feel better.”
“I’m calm for 3 seconds before I realize I can’t make my thoughts return once I successfully shut them off and now I’m just a panicked zombie.”
“I miss Jeanette therapy. I don’t like the family therapist. She listens to me for a little bit, but insists we try to shut my thoughts off every single session and I spend the rest of the day creatively drained and with no imagination available.”
“I feel like most therapy is just designed to make you fit in with society’s demands first…and feel better second.”
