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

    I had the same issue, and eventually realized we have resources specifically for learning this: I started reading parenting books.

    I would recommend “Unconditional Parenting” by Alfie Kohn as a starting point.

      On one hand, good to know there is an answer; on the other, I’m generally priced out of purchasing books, so it’s as good as being forbidden from learning the answer (unless I find a summary online).

        Come on. Now you’re just being lazy and looking for excuses. There are so many ways, legal and illegal, to get access to books for free. Don’t be a help-rejecting complainer.
