A thread of the posts by @cait.bsky.social. They read as follows:

I had my first talk therapy session with my new therapist and she hit me with the “you’re very self-aware” ☹️

not the “pleasure to have in class” of therapy

that’s right, I know all the tools and have developed countertools so they no longer work. welcome to thunderdome

    “You’re very self-aware” is basically a meme in the corners of the internet that discuss trauma. It’s a genuine compliment on the part of the therapist, but also an implied admission that they won’t be able to help you.

    You’re already aware of the observations they would make and the tools they would propose, so you might as well skip to the end and look for another therapist.
