Drunk actual therapist, Yas Forums...

How do you switch from seeking extrinsic motivation all the time, to an intrinsic motivation mentality?

What's the biggest problem facing therapy, professional therapists, and the therapy profession today?

Follow-up question: how do you feel about underage sex dolls?

Why would a friend hide her boyfriend from me? We met at work and chat for hours on end when we get out but I just found out she's been seeing someone since January. I don't get why she would never bring him up. She's told me far more intimate things about herself that revealing that sort of information to me would seem insignificant in comparison. Trying to make sense of it.

Be there for them. It's a bitch and a half, but look into active listening to help them, where you ask open ended questions and let them do the talking. Never one up or give advice on something you don't have knowledge on. You're a friend, not a therapist though, so understand your boundaries.

You’re a bad therapist

IF you're a fully functional person without any prevelant mental disorders, more than anything, I would set up a system for yourself. Schedules, timers, sticky notes. Make the internal external and physical

I’d like to think so. I just don’t want to sit in a room with somebody once a week and talk about how I fucked everything up.

not OP.

Is it true that "therapists" do not require a 2-4 year degree education as physiologists do, and they do not have the authority to prescribe?

Essentially all "therapists" can do is talk to you?

Are you an actual therapist?

I'm well beyond my depression and get along in my days just fine.

At least you got trips, now quit being a fag and go get drunk at a bar. Then Uber home. Talk to people in between that. Maybe a woman or two? Good day sir.

Definitely insurance and payments. If someone skips out on the bill that I know can pay, do I call the debt collector? Medicaid also only pays 35 an hour, and rent and bills cost that much for how much I work. bullshit.

Yes, genuinely talk to a psychologist.

I really wanted to kill myself when I was 17. I gave in and believed it would get better. It didnt and I wish I had 17 years later. I used to believe in truth and justice and hard work and love and god. I was so stupid and naive. Call it a self fulfilling prophesy (arent they all?) if you want but I really did try. God, or whatever, knows I only blame myself. Im not good at this and I want out. But, I wont because I cant because it doesnt matter and im pretty dead inside anyways.

thanks doc!

Oh, so you're the guy my ex kept bringing up! She kept telling me 'no' when I tried to fuck and mentioned "The Rapist." Turns out it was your name all along. The audacity! I fucked her corpse for nothing, you asshole.

I suffer from extreme social anxiety and i'm pretty sure i also suffer from avoidant personality disorder, what do?

Look, therapy makes you uncomfortable, hypnotized or not. Working through that uncomfortable gets you to where you are comfortable.
Not true. You require a master's at least, and I can't prescribe, I think in Alabama, they can though since there's so few there, but I'll have to check. And yes, but its very specific ways of talking and basically having to become comfortable in every situation and learn every single abnormality in thought and how they arise.
Yes. Don't want to show anything about me on this racist chinese message board though

Look up communication skills and be more confident. I genuinely thought I was autistic for most of my teens, when I realized that I just didn't understand people, and now people show me their most vulnerable selves for a living. ALSO PRACTICE. If you learn skills, and don't use them on family or strangers, you're wasting your time. Small talk is good believe it or not.

Talk to a genuine therapist and read books on the subject, understand why you are the way you are. And you probably aren't avoidant, self diagnosing does nothing but make you more anxious.
