Giraffe

I went throw being hit by my parents a lot even for things I did not do. Get an answer wrong, time for a beating?

Got bullied in school.

I became quieter over time to make sure I don’t say the wrong thing to be bullied or hit.

I went to high school where I was finally not bullied. finally I have life to look forward to.

The high school did not like I did not raise my hand, not talk to other girls so I was forced into therapy to talk for the sake of talking.

My parents nitpicked me for my grades now get to nitpick everything I say. Thanks so much for the added burden. Talking is subjective, not objective so i don’t know how to satisfy my parents anymore.

I was once a naive child and thought therapy will help me reconcile with my parents. I wanted to tell my parents how hurt I was. Now my parents mock me for bringing up the past. No therapist helped me. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

I nearly lost my job since I attempted to mimic a yenta. I got a rabbi calling me “sick” and “unfair on the world” right in front of my husband. I get attacked for asking questions.

I HATE THERAPY! A rabbi compared me to a cow for not wanting therapy again after therapists nearly destroyed my life.

A therapist told me that just because I was hurt by therapy that means we should destroy the entire industry. So where will the postpartum depressed mother go?

So is it fair I get experimented on with unproven therapy so therapists as an industry can hone their skills for the postpartum mother. I had no where to escape. I was a minor and had this garbage forced on me in high school.

Now therapists say quieter people are allowed to exist as they are considered introverts. Thanks so much for acknowledging that. I had to endure the times when it was considered bad not to talk. Even though there are many Rabbinic quotes that say how valuable it is to not indulge in idle chatter..

I pulled myself by the bootstraps by doing the complete opposite of the forced therapy. I now have my life in order. I learned outsiders are just not safe to interact with.

I despise this industry so much. I still have emotional regulation problems when back when I was a child I learned how to regulate my feelings due to bullying and beatings. Now I have to go to therapy to undo the damage therapy did to me? When I go to therapists now whatever they say goes in one ear and out the other due to my seething hatred.

And pro-therapists says there are way too many bad therapists and it takes time to find the right one. So where is the accountability to make sure bad therapists don’t get to practice? What can be done that bad therapists don’t work with kids who have no choice but to endure the garbage?
