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
The alternative is to acknowledge that society is fucked and needs to change to make you (and most everyone) feel comfortable and safe, which they (and you) can essentially do nothing about.
You’ve brought them a problem, the only tool they have is to try to mold you not to care so much about it.
The therapist doesn’t need to change society for you/us (which is impossible of course), but acknowledgement just of itself would be so validating. So, so validating.
