men will be like “therapy doesn’t work for me” and then make their unqualified girlfriends be their therapists. “but it’s different because”— NO. IT’S NOT.

“i just want them to care” you therapist DOES care. if they didn’t care about their patient’s mental health they’d be a shitty therapist & you should seek a new one. but most of these men assume that because they don’t care about non-romantic partner’s feelings that no one else does either. a topic they should probably discuss WITH A THERAPIST.

Therapy is amazing!!! For any issue or even just to talk without a lot of pressing concerns at times! A bad therapist does not mean therapy does not work. I’ve had numerous therapists until I settled on one that actually listened the way I needed to and challenges me to catch myself in my spirals and practise learned techniques. Those who need therapy most often don’t seek it…
