      You gotta get a better therapist then. It took me like 3 different therapists but now I’m actually making significant progress

      I feel you on that unfortunately. I think therapy works for people who are good at gaslighting themselves, but beyond that everyone is SOL. I also think it can be useful for very specific problems (like I had a friend who went because she had panic attacks) that are easy to identify. If you have more vague, nonspecific issues, then therapists are lost as to what to do and therapy itself becomes useless.

      I’m gonna try again soon tho we’ll see.
