Thread 23185964

The occupational therapist lady touched my hands and arms a lot and I shamefully had an anxiety boner but I was seated at my table so it was hidden and my shorts feel wet now but my scalp was all tingly and my face might have been red and it was nice to feel someones hand but she did some kind of compression with her hands and now my wrists hurt worse

>>23185964 (OP)
She's a therapist so you can be completely honest about your boner with her.

>>23185976
Shut up idiot

>>23185964 (OP)
therapists are for the weak.
either figure it out yourself or go insane.

>>23186001
Its not a psychology therapist, can't you read

>>23186001
you literally have a therapist lol
>>23185964 (OP)
i felt really safe around the lady who did my driving test
she felt like an older sister or something

>>23186045
What does that have to do with my boner

>>23186021
your inner thoughts aren't the only thing that can drive you insane. and relying on others wont help you, so just stop wasting money

>>23186045
i do not have a therapist, absolute waste of money

>>23186061
nothing, but it felt like a similar situation to your story
i didn't know i was supposed to focus on your boner
btw this guy >>23186068
>>23186073
has a therapist, i don't know what he's trying to do

>>23186068
>>23186073
are psychiatrists good? better than therapists?
maybe OP should get a psychiatrist and isolate himself while on meds, probably a good idea

>>23186089
you're thinking of someone else anon, I do not have a therapist. I don't even have the money for one

>>23186101
maybe you right

>>23186068
An OT is someone who is supposed to help with regaining baseline after an injury
I get it for free regardless
She wasnt a real physical or hand therapist but it helped with being touch starved isolated
>>23186094
Psychiatirsts are pharmaceutical mongering kikes and meds dont work on me

>>23186131
meds can work, but 80% of problems people try to treat with meds could be resolved through a therapist instead, for much cheaper and less hassle from drug side effects

>>23186131
>She wasnt a real physical or hand therapist but it helped with being touch starved isolated
that is cute

>>23186094
God you faggots piss me off so much. A psychiatrist and therapist and psychologist are all different but they all work together towards the same goal. A psychiatrist can prescribe medication to get you to a stable baseline where you're not suffering through symptoms so you can see a therapist to work through your problems with the new albeit temporary clarity. Medication is a bandage not a solution.
Lastly a psychologist is usually the academic of the psych field they deal with theory looking at data from therapists to build and recommend various rehabilitation and therapy methods. Usually you won't see a psychologist but you can and they're more clinical. They can diagnose you but usually not administer therapy
No one is better than the rest as they're all working hand in hand towards helping someone make better decisions for themselves.

>>23186157
>A psychiatrist can prescribe medication

a psychiatrist can dangle medication over your head to get continuous visits

>>23186163
Yeah it doesn't surprise me the mentally unstable decry therapy and psychology. Did posting that help you in some way? Give you something you wouldn't otherwise receive had you not?

holy fuck man

>>23186157
Psychologists are buzzword parroting assembly line goyslop people

>>23186157
i swear i've read this exact post somewhere

>>23186157
and yeah that's all true
>A psychiatrist can prescribe medication to get you to a stable baseline where you're not suffering through symptoms so you can see a therapist to work through your problems with the new albeit temporary clarity.
i dunno about that though

my impression is problems can either be resolved through therapy, in which case they should, or they can't, in which case meds and the optimal dosage to reduce symptoms is the best you can do
i think it's less common for both to work together the way you describe

>>23186187
Could you expand on that? It seems more like you're the buzzword parroting goyslop person.
>>23186194
I was probably the one who posted it. I explain this every couple of months or so. Then the mentally infirm crawl out of the woodwork to try to tell me about psychology.

>>23186187
no
but they're probably the least directly helpful out of the three, they mostly classify problems accurately rather than try to help

>>23186163
this does happen sometimes
>>23186180
that is a nice hypocritical kick in the teeth post though

>>23186163
i thought you were OP to be honest, not some random 1pbtid
i'm so fucked man

>>23186201
That's how the process works anon. Both work together to use medication and applied therapy to give you the tools to fix yourself. Sometimes you can just go to DBT and take some Xanax but you need both to progress. The medication gives you the clarity of mind to engage in therapy and introspection without the burden of your illness or trauma. If the meds aren't doing that for you get a new psychiatrist. Your insurance has tons of them in network.
>>23186230
Hypocritical? Not at all. I speak from a place of great mental stability after years of self therapy. Am I perfect? No. I have things I'm still working on but I don't need medication or a therapist to progress. It's not that overwhelming anymore.
I also have a psych degree so I can identify the kind of people struggling. There's a lot here in bant.
Of everyone here I'd say I'm easily the most healthy. I have a job, a positive outlook on life, a wife, friends and fulfilling hobbies that give me purpose. In addition to all that I still work on the little things internally slowly putting to rest the demons that have haunted me from my past.
I did it. Yall can too. The only reason you would advocate against therapy is if you have a personal irrational bias.

hmmm...

>>23186269
>Yall
shut up fag

>>23186507
did you read that far into his post?
or just spot "Yall" peripherally?
or what?

>>23186211
I don't read the same 5 pfizer pre approved goyslop words to 20 people the same day. I can call goyslop goyslop.

He's a corporate goyslop serotonin goymutt goyim pharma reddit golem soisoy

Flinging insults at someone like him doesnt make it incorrect

>>23186269
Everything in this post is quotable with a reddit fatjak

>>23186518
Neither do I or most psychiatrists. Like I said you have an irrational personal bias. Which psychiatrist was it that you didn't like?
>>23186571
With post post modernist mockery anything is. Again I'm not surprised the mentally infirm are against psychology in fact it's completely expected.

>now my wrists hurt worse
pretty standard for immediately after a workout.
Do your exercises at home.
Next time wear tight undies, and have her tell you about her day as she's doing the work-through. If her shallow BS doesn't turn you off, and you're still struggling, ask the insurance or whatever to get you a guy.
Consider this a suggestion from your body to ask a pretty lady out on a date. Not this one.
