I respectfully disagree - if you are in a monogamous relationship and your partner approaches you to say “I’m catching feelings for someone else, can we open up our relationship and be poly?” - that’s a recipe for disaster, bc the asker is already in a state of betrayal. For this therapist to say “those are her things to work on” is dismissive and unfair. Like, that’s only true if that couple had started opening their partnership to other relationships *before* the client’s partner came to her - he (assuming it’s a “he” for some reason) came to her after he was already into someone else - that trust was broken; he had already betrayed her. A better thing for a therapist to do would be to suggest that the client’s partner break off that burgeoning relationship, at least for awhile, while the original couple considers and learns about polyamory from a place of trust and respect. Then perhaps that other, new relationship might be explored again, if client and her partner have decided it’s okay and the work has been put in. For the client’s partner to come to her to ask for something he already was getting into is not honoring his partner’s heart, agency or trust.

The big mistake you made here was misremembering the thing about Jimmy telling his patient to push her husband off the cliff. He encouraged her to spill his coffee, if her husband is mocking her about it but he specifically DID NOT tell her or agree with her that she should just push him off the cliff.

As a mother who's experienced 4 deliveries, I must say that not every experience is going to be the same. So we not only have to worry about what other women have been through, we have to worry about how different the next delivery is going to be? Not only that, a whole new person is born. Someone we still have to get to know. We know we love them, but we don't know what makes them feel loved, safe, and cared for. My oldest was the easiest. I could bottle feed her AND breastfeed her. She was calm when she was with calm people. We had a bout of fussiness, but we figured it out, and the rest of her infanthood was smooth sailing. Number two, I knew her before she was born. She was stubborn. Held out till her due date. I couldn't get her to take the bottle. That was wild, but we were okay. I found it easy to care for two girls that were almost 3 years apart. Number three was the most difficult. I don't know what it was, we couldn't make a connection. I loved her and tried my best, but it wasn't enough. One, my whole birthing experience was wack. I was normal until I met the anesthesiologist. It all went to shit from there. The catheter slipped, the guy had to drill a hole in my back. After that, I labored and delivered, but as soon as she was out, my cervix went back to 0cm, and I couldn't expel the placenta. They placed me on pitocin. My body doesn't respond to that. I'll save you the rest of the details. I couldn't feed her right away, they fed her for me, she couldn't move her bowels for 3 while days! I specifically told them I wanted to breastfeed her, but they went against my wishes. My supply wasn't coming in as it should have. Both me and her were not having it. Whatever I was eating was affecting her, and I couldn't supplement her feeding. It was a nightmare. But I'd endure it all just to have her back. She was 3 months when we lost her. She wasn't sick, at least an illness is not why she's no longer here. All I know is I take all responsibility and say I could have done better. Better how? I don't know, but anything different probably could have been better. She passed away sleeping. It was hard. My rainbow baby came 5 years later. And if you've been keeping up, you will know that I've had three girls up until that point. My rainbow baby, my youngest, is my only boy. My experience with my youngest girl, my angel baby, put me in high anxiety with my last pregnancy. I decided I was going to tie my tubes after that. Delivery was induced, I did not have an epidural. I screamed as I bared through it. Postpartum was screwy, but I think it was because I was in hyper vigilant mode. I could not sleep. I'd spend hours until I couldn't hold my eyes open anymore. Sometimes I'd catch him not breathing, and I'd spend a minute or so trying to wake him. My psyche was shot. That's why I decided no more kids. Was putting myself through heartbreak and hell worth having another child? What about my well-being? I had enough kids to love. I'm okay. My youngest is 11. We all made it through.

Another perspective: The more you love someone, the more you understand you can't own them or keep them or have them to yourself. When they leave, which will happen eventually because we aren't immortal, instead of hurting inside, strive to love them even more in their absence, so much that its gratitude and thanks you feel instead of hurt and loss. Falling in love with someone before learning to love yourself will always end in feeling the hurt in their absense. But when we learn to love ourselves and know that people can't be owned or kept, it's grace and gratitude that sits where the hurt might have taken space inside you. So learn to love yourself so that you can learn to love another in a healthy way, this guy said too much without saying anything valueble on Love at all 😅

Thank you for this, super interesting. I am the Co-founder of AnomieXR and we have co built a visualisation tool with therapists for therapy and coaching . Especially interested in a couple points you mentioned that relate to future features we are thinking about for the platform and talking to therapists about it. We are looking at incorporating text and voice to 3D models to make it easier for clients but there are a lot of ethical considerations with that. Would love to talk to the team about this actually.

I'm sorry to hear that your therapist left the profession after such a long professional relationship. It can be devastating to feel like you're starting over with a new person and I agree--it's absolutely vital to feel connected to your therapist in order to be vulnerable and actually make progress (research backs this up too). I want to challenge you: you are not the only person to have dark thoughts, and your experiences and your trauma are not so unique and so complicated that you do not deserve relief and healing too. The right therapist isn't going to be scared off. I hope you find them.

Unfortunately the world equates crying with weakness, and in the full episode we discuss the importance of men taking care of their mental health too (and how crying is ok!). This therapist shares that adding some humor can help his clients feel less shame about crying in a session-- of course this depends on the client and the therapist. Thanks for watching and interacting!
@ibis09214 ай бұрын
It always depends on the relationship, but I can think of several instances where if I said that to a client what I would be signaling to them is that I don’t think any less of their manhood because they cried. For a lot of men this is a deep fear. That their feelings are thier weakness and in those cases using humor to move through that would be completely appropriate.
