Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

I don’t think good therapists want a person feeling this way, or want them feeling like they are required to share deep feelings on a first visit.

I think clients often psych themselves up or down prior to a therapy visit, but the therapist is often open with a client taking their time and growing a level of comfort with the therapist before talking about personal things

It’s hard for therapy to go well when the client has preconceived notions and worrisome feelings about what the experience will be.

This is what the better therapists are good at breaking down and getting past

oh yeah its a similar experience. except a therapist at least has significantly less malice towards you. theres still kind of. an aura of judgement in the room though

I got used to living in a judgment filled world

Would’ve disagreed with this until my brother got to sixth grade, and the principal started going after the IEP kids hard because test grades or something.
