Men's therapy in a nutshell
Men's therapy in a nutshell
Oh man. My ex physically attacked me in broad daylight, full on slapping and pushing, then kept texting me how she didn’t really do it and I had imagined it and if she did it wasn’t that bad. I broke up with her, obviously.
Then months later when I had a new girlfriend she kept calling me and leaving me voicemails how I was a cheating bastard and a terrible awful person for lying to her and betraying her trust and love…
And anyone who hears that story basically tells me I am exaggerating and there is no way a woman would ever hit a man, but if she did, I must have done something awful to deserve it.
That’s fucking awful.
Yeah uh, don’t go to a cognitive behavior therapy professional for that. They will say some bunk ass shit to you because their niche is addiction recovery but the powers that be are pushing for it to be used for every man’s issues.
I hope you can heal from that, dude. You didn’t deserve to be assaulted and dragged for filth.
It was a decade ago. I moved on.
The bigger kicker, is this woman was a therapist. And the therapist I saw two years later… bascially told me hwo she had violate every professional ethics code of therapy, and that was basically when I really was like ‘oh wow’.
She had repeated try to diagnose me to win arguments and manipulate me. The funniest part is when I would take the tests she gave me for whatever she thought i had and score way outside of them… because I was not anything, she was a terrible person trying to control me and freaking out that I wasn’t controllable. Hence why she resorted to violence finally, because that’s what abusers do once their abusive words stop working.
Wait the woman who assaulted you was? Jesus Christ. Yeah the last woman I dated said there’s a lot of people in that field who go into it in order to have access to other humans who are at their most vulnerable. I’ve heard that from a few different people in the industry now.
That was NOT the nicest person you’ve dated, she doesn’t even sound remotely kind to anyone. You deserved better, her patients deserved better. I’m hoping your life brings you better people than that.
Okay yeah that’s also just bad science, if we’re completely ignoring what her endgame seems to have been.
I guess that makes sense. The most effective abusers are ones who keep you guessing about how they’re going to treat you from moment to moment.
Well, I’m glad you’re doing okay single. Ideally that’s kind of the best mind state to be in no matter what your future holds. Send an update though if you do ever hit it off with anyone who treats you right, though. I kind of need to hear more stories about men healing and recovering from shit.
