  • Went no contact with my Mom. Total weight off my shoulders. Sometimes a little part of still feels a tiny bit guilty. Internally the guilty voice goes “well people can change maybe give her another chance”? This is immediately met with deafening laughter from every other cell of my being saying “LMAO no she is such a piece of shit”.

    If you’re considering going no contact with your parents or someone, maybe give it a try. You can always talk to them later. Cutting out toxic ppl from your life is a gift you can give yourself everyday.










  • I can understand the thought process behind therapist don’t really care. They aren’t going to care like a best friend or family. But I think most therapists will care as a compassionate human being who wants to help others the best they can. They chose this career path for a reason.

    I prefer to think of a therapist as someone I can complain to about anything I want to. I don’t care if they care about me or not. I’m paying them, they have to listen to me complain about whatever dumb shit I say!! Bonus points if they help me deal with some stuff.

    Sometimes it’s small like my work/boss is dumb, sometimes it’s unpacking the trauma my parents so lovingly gave me.

    In my experience, it can take a while to find a therapist I click with. I’ve been to at least 6 therapists, I would say I only really vibed with 2 of them. It sucks going through the effort of finding them, going to 2 or 3 sessions to see if you really click.

    Just talk honestly about what you want/yourself and a good therapist will likely help you understand yourself and deal with shit
