What does your therapist do?!

[@leathergander9659]

Ngl I felt kinda offended when my therapist checks her watch and yawns during our discussion

[@yourfaithfultherapist6897]

It’s probably nothing personal. Just wanting to stay on track (with the watch).

[@TammyQuietShow]

Mine literally was almost falling asleep she kept closing arise last time I saw her

[@couergarnet]

They dont care. Don’t waste your money on them. At the end they will give you some cheap ass advice that a drug addict by the sidewalk can do(maybe even better). Or give you some medication which you don’t need 90% of the time. Therapy is a joke until an unless you have gone through some extreme trauma like I dont know like kill someone or shit like that.

[@bingolinging]

​@couergarnet no. Abuse is a very valid way of seeking help if abuse or some deeper issue is effecting your life. If there's something stopping you from feeling empathy or compassion or maybe something stopping you from going to school or doing your homework everyday, you have your right to seek help when you feel that you need to.

[@Animallovercomedian]

@@couergarnettherapy actually has some great success stories, look at the improvement rates that CBT and DBT can offer clients. It’s made previously untreatable illnesses treatable

[@fulcrum097]

Imagine telling your therapist about all your personal issues and trauma and stuff you have a lot of trouble admitting and then they yawn or check their watch

[@jenngeiger9853]

The yawn would throw me over the edge

[@LoveAndSnapple]

My therapist either pulled out a Calendar or pulled out her laptop to print out helpful resources I can use until her next visit. It was a “soft close” that I appreciated. Of course I caught her making subtle glances towards the clock every now and then, but that was just to keep track of time.

[@teebee9052]

My therapist says,"As our time is almost up, I would like to give you the following tools to use this week". Then she gives me helpful suggestions to write down in my "therapy notebook" so I can review during the coming week. (I also write down questions that come up so I remember to ask.)

[@hopefxll]

This is why I'm happy i beat my depression without ever needing to see a therapist.

[@vinissin_souza]

How did u do that? and btw who told you had depression, a psychiatrist?

[@Nightowl333]

Loll I always know when my therapist is subtly like “time to get out” when she stands up 😂 otherwise I would go on forever.

[@carolraineri9505]

Which professional use yawning as a way to communicate?

[@lizdestefano4905]

Ive be very offended by a yawn to tell the session is ending! Feel almost like we don't matter and we are boring her or him!! My therapist yawn one time 10 mins in but told me it was because of a new medication she was taking for her thyroid, and she apologized so i wasn't offended

[@sayantikaghosh4240]

Yes thyroid medicine make you feel sleepy

[@itsjustaudie]

yawning should literally get you fired lol

[@reesewitherfork6142]

Pulling out the calendar is a great idea, no? 😂 I’m a counselor trainee still and sometimes I have the hardest time ending sessions on time. People often get more comfortable at the end of session and go deeper or …just drop a bomb when session is over in 5 minutes.

[@mickeyb4441]

Body disruption but my fave is grabbing the calendar

[@NateWeaver-jy7pb]

A combination of 1 and 3

[@mw9688]

No way… I never do the yawn. I’m all about setting the boundary of “times up” but I’d rather just outright say that than yawn.

[@nomalademz5589]

I like the calendar

[@1800JCful]

Yeah. My doc wants me to see a therapist but they are useless pretty much. The most recent therapist I had would inhale deeply REGULARLY throughout my appointments and I thought it was just rude. She seemed like she didn't really want to help me or that I was a bother to her. Plus, she told me that it was my responsibility to come up with a game plan to help my self and she would execute. Like, if I knew how to help myself, I would just do it myself. Dumb.

[@yourfaithfultherapist6897]

Bummer! That’s too bad. Try a different one!

[@randomwillis6912]

@@yourfaithfultherapist6897 yes I too love spending my life savings to "fix" my problems

[@kenny995]

​@@randomwillis6912 then don't. Some people benefit from therapy, some don't.

[@KS-ne5mq]

I’ve just began seeing a therapist after not seeing any for years. I tried to do it on my own. Didn’t quite do the trick. Still don’t know what will come of my therapy, but I obviously needed to try. It’s disheartening for people to see comments how it’s useless and negative things. What if it’s their last hope? What if it prevents suicide?

[@robbe.t.r.o]

for my therapist it's 4 haha

[@gbaleebaker2198]

Dude, but my therapist just does is I like she checks her watch I know it’s time and she’ll give me like a look and then we’ll both stand up and I’ll be like all right thank you

[@BroccolinisWorld]

mine says “is there anything else you would like to talk about today?”

[@keisha7239]

Mine pulls up her calendar on her laptop but she won’t stand up until I do

[@MirageAtPlay]

The body adjustment seems like a midwestern way to wrap things up. You slap your knees stand up and say wellll, look like its getting late.

[@dont.go_]

5 lol

[@rissarose3423]

The calendar!

[@user-ns3sp1gi5p]

I think i might need therapy since Well.. i’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety ALOT & I’m tbh to scared to ask my parents- Does anyone have any tips? i’m only 9 so I dont really know what to do.

[@hellzshadow4]

I’ve never done the yawn to end a session. Some of the others I’ve done.

[@amberelizabeth652]

The calendar

[@Mindsetolympics]

LOL

[@F1r3WolfGaming]

nah instead of saying it like a normal person, just randomly give weird as ques. Disrespectful af

[@tblk1860]

So basically useless. Tell God

[@Camibug]

Therapy helps. If god helps you that’s great, some of us need therapy and that’s good too.

[@justinedse8435]

Presuming that you know what's best for other people is incredibly insensitive. Maybe a person doesn't believe in God.

[@FlopgamingOne]

no lol

[@user-fk6mh]

Therapist is a joke

[@superlasse2468]

Try it

[@nichtmehrals9917]

Yes.

[@kenny995]

Maybe it doesn't work for you but that's probably because you go on with a bias so you're already unwilling to put in the effort. But for some of us we take it seriously and greatly benefit from it

[@katiegumley8630]

Based. I was in therapy and on meds for 13 years just made shit worse. All these people in the comments protecting a scam like they part of a mlm💀💀🤧
