I noticed when I do therapy the main topic that comes up is my parents divorce when I was 15, two years later I was medicated and mentally ill
First they’ll talk about my dad, and I would tell them stuff like I found him difficult, he’d unload his problems onto me etc, the therapists would be really supportive and encourage boundaries, whereas any mention of any negative emotions towards my mother and I’d be lucky to get another session, I’d usually be ignored or my emotions wouldn’t be tolerated
I know the sort of people who become therapists and I know they’re educated and I know at university women’s issues are encouraged and male issues create a lot of anger and are rarely tolerated
I noticed this culture in therapy and it stinks really
Does anyone agree?
