Probably fake, but a therapist should never say anything like that. I’m in my 30’s and a virigin, and no doctor, therapist, etc., has ever asked me anything close to that. And if they did, I’d be searching for a new therapist. Wouldn’t even finish the session.
The older ones tend to still think that way.
One of my previous psychiatrists got kicked out being the head of his department because he was using his position to lobby heavily to keep Asexuality in the the DSM.
I may have once believed this would never happen but after a therapist once told me I was wrong for outting a pedophile I can’t imagine this being that far fetched.
Even if it’s not fake, in every other instance, if you have a bad dentist who says shit that makes you uncomfortable, you get a new dentist, happens every day, bad dentists get bad reviews and open shitty practices in bad neighborhoods and people expect the care to be substandard. Rarely do you even hear stories about that kind of thing because people have normalized dental care.
The fact that this shit is controversial shows just how far we have to go before people start taking their fucking minds seriously. You know, only the most important part of your physical, living experience.
Jesus Christ, that tops the worst thing I’ve ever heard a therapist say.
I heard a tale about a therapist in Iowa who after talking about issues with anxiety recommended eating brains shaped foods like, broccoli and walnuts.
What’s the weather like in 1825?
Sadly it was only 4 years ago. But Iowa does feel like that sometimes.
Don’t know if there’s a distinction in English but when I read “therapist” I know that over here it can be anyone. Psychologist and psychiatrists have a professional order, therapists don’t… You could decide to become a therapist tomorrow morning if you wanted…
I am wondering the sane* tbh
Same* (I keep the typo for posterity)
“the sane”
Hehehe
On today’s episode of Bullshit That Never Happened…
She thinks you’re hot anon. Bang your therapist
No, that therapist is. There are shitty people in every profession.
she’s trying to tell him he’s a good looking nice man 😉♂️
Even knowing a shitty human therapist personally didn’t shake me. It was dating apps. The amount of women I see that I’d run from at full speed, then notice they’re therapists… Jfc (I 100% believe everyone should be in therapy. There are shitty physical health doctors too.)
Why should everybody be in therapy? That’s like saying everybody should see a physiotherapist.
I mean, with how common back problems are in people of all ages, maybe we should all be seeing physiotherapists
I know I should be. I would genuinely benefit more from a good massage therapist than a psychotherapist at this point in life.
It’s more like saying everyone should get a physical on a regular basis. We all need a check up now and then.
Ty
It’s sad that it’s true. Therapists are in high demand, and part of the reason we need more therapists is that about 1/5 of current therapists are basket cases in denial who use the idea of therapy to fulfill their own desires to control and manipulate others.
When your therapist is trying to trick you into labelling yourself an incel.
Anon is attractive and has a shit therapist?
Big assumption that anon is attractive in this story.
Anon is never attractive.

What do people find in therapists that friends/talking to yourself on a walk/GPT can’t provide? I’ve seriously never found any value
A good therapist knows how to break down your defense mechanisms, teaching you to introspect and challenge yourself, as well as providing you specific tools to help cope and think differently.
I’d rather eat concrete than use ChatGPT as a therapist.
A person who has a lot of knowledge in psychology.
AI just makes stuff up and apologies and says the reverse if you tell it it’s wrong.
Friends don’t have the knowledge.edit: “therapy”, i assume a psychiatrist.
- Family/Friends tend to know too much to be an unbiased sound board. And what if the issue is family/friends? Are you sure they won’t chat about it? Or treat you differently? What if they get defensive and you don’t get a chance to talk about your issue?
- If talking to yourself works, that’s great (genuinely), but the therapist is there to mention, notice, and discuss things you may not have realized. Like, you may think so-and-so hates you, so you’re trying to figure out how to get them to like you because you think it’s very important, the therapist may have you question if it’s worth the effort in the first place.
- ChatGPT is like taking therapy from TikTok. It’s just spitting back whatever it collects on the internet. It’s not really looking into you specifically. You can also “guide” Ai. And you’re the one reporting your symptoms, which could also mess with the results. I’ve had to take a test in therapy and there were a few questions I was like, “nope, I don’t have issues with that,” and she stopped the test and brought up situations I had told her and behavior I didn’t recognize as an issue and I changed my answer. ChatGPT is likely not going to do that.
Lmao sounds like my ex boyfriend who guilted me for sexual trauma and being asexual because he never got laid. What an asshole he was. Hopefully im just reading it wrong but i really despise and am disgusted by people like that.
If you refer to women as “females” that DTF number drops precipitously.
Females 👎
Femme males 👍
Bro, just call them women. Unless you’re trying to fuck girls. Then we have a different issue.
