      @@hellopoodles yeah, I remember you saying that to me in the other thread already. However, I disagree that he needs to research the facts about the case before commenting because therapists in the real world-in practice-usually don’t have all the information. All they can go on is what they are told by the client. And often it’s not important to find the truth, because the goal, job, and duty of a clinician is to help the individual’s mental/emotional state. Therapists are not investigators. If the therapist finds out that something illegal is happening, they have a duty to report it to law enforcement, but they do not make it their job to uncover the truth. Given that goal, and that the point of his channel is to educate people about his field, I don’t see a problem with him discussing this case without researching all the other facts about the case. I think doing so is likely to create bias because articles on the situation are written by other people who interpret the facts and chose what details to cover. There are other channels that provide investigative content.

Why do I need to research my question instead of asking? And how is this related to our conversation?

    I've dealt with abusers like this, as such this was extremely difficult to watch; painful actually. I once documented the abuse, the abuser said that his lawyer stated I'd be sued if I posted the video on the internet. Which is just ludicrous as his lawyer was an eviction attorney. So yeah, they'll say or do whatever they can to prevent the world from knowing what they are. Although I'm still dealing with an abusive individual, I'm no longer dealing with someone who's as abusive.
    People will often say "just leave". Gee, no shit. Sometimes practical considerations such as money prevent one from "just leaving". If it were that easy, no one would have to suffer at the hands of an abuser. Anyone who tells an abused person to "just leave or just move" reveals their ignorance and privilege.

    • @Ferreneh
      @Ferreneh Рік тому +14

      I feel you, hope you've healed. My abuser actually secretly recorded the last few fights we had because they knew we were breaking up soon. They wanted "proof" against me in case I was seeking legal actions. I didn't bc frankly I just wanted to be left alone, but heard that they filed for domestic abuse or something similar which never actually went through. Not surprised because I wasn't the abuser. I still think back whether they ever deleted the recordings, it was really disturbing when I found out. I was at my lowest and trying to stand up for myself. Finally when I pushed them out of my apartment to leave they showed a phone recording. It was like a "gotcha" moment for them because I never used any physical force with them otherwise.

I never followed her streams but I tuned in when she was with her horses and people were saying how it was a totally different stream, there were still, some disgusting people in the chat.

Imagine how elaborate it would need to be, on top of all the other reasons that would be completely insane.

    I am glad for her that has documented this, it takes his power away. That being said doing so may also push him to the next level. I hope she can get some personal security. She just let people know she was married. Part of her "deal" is being the hot chick and outing yourself as married will take away some of the viewership. I feel that as she started gaining popularity he started to get more and more controlling as he had more access and got more involved in her business.

    While these videos have been really hard to watch, I appreciate the commentary on it. I went through almost exactly the same type of abuse with an ex, and I’ll be the first to say it’s extremely difficult to gauge reality after a while. It’s super important to see this from an outside perspective to validate the victim’s experience and to make it easier for other people to spot abuse when it happens. I’m relieved to know that her and her animals are safe.

    I have a question just about couples therapy in general. Will therapists ever suggest or decide that it would just be best for a couple to split up if it’s truly a bad and/or toxic/abusive relationship? Or will therapist continue to try and find a way to make it work? Also, what are some things I can look/listen for or some questions I can ask that will help me find a good therapist? I really want to be in therapy but I dont know if there are enough GOOD therapists out there and I feel skeptical that any therapist I choose is truly going to WANT and/or BE ABLE TO genuinely help me and one day my relationship. What are some things that I can look for that would let me know whether a therapist is legit or good or trustworthy? Or are there things I should be aware of that maybe is a sign that a therapist ISNT good? Should I shop for therapists? Is that even ok? I want to be in therapy so bad but dont even know where to start. I have no support system whatsoever, limited resources and am currently on AHCCCS which is AZs state insurance program like Medi Cal. Any advice would be so appreciated. Thank you in advance

      Hey Lisa, I can't tell you about your first question but the second. Finding a good therapist that fits you can be tricky. You might start and then it does not quite work or you start and it's amazing. I can tell you that it's okay to not get along with your therapist and wanting to switch. Please do not feel discouraged. There's no tips or tricks to find a good therapist, it's really about having a few sessions and seeing if it works. I wish you best of luck.

      I've seen some couples therapists saying that they absolutely can and do suggest a couple breaking up if there's no way to compromise or work through a situation that's happening. So that absolutely IS an option that they might recommend if they think that it is for the best. Obviously not EVERY couple's therapist and I'm sure that it depends entirely on the couple and the issues that they're having. But from what I've seen online, some of them absolutely do say "Hey this relationship just isn't working guys. Break up".

    I personally believe that becoming a dog owner was an important step towards me learning to set boundaries w family members and in general. The micro aggressions and emotional abuse was something I had gotten used to. But the minute someone looked at my dog in a funny way, my momma bear was unleashed. He was and is 100p off limits, which I believe guided me into a headspace of realizing that I can in fact tell people off and deny them access to me and the people I care about, if their behavior is not approbiate.

    Honestly, I feel like these kinds of videos are extremely helpful. Cuz I was aware of abuse and what it could look like, I managed to get out before I put a ring on it or have kids. It's cuz it was never really physical, just a lot of mental and emotional abuse, I couldn't see the signs that were there from the very beginning. I was ready to marry that man even when he was already starting to do some shitty stuff, thinking "ah it's not that bad." while he gaslighted me. It's only when it got so bad that it was obvious to the friends around me that I realized what was going on. A friend one day asked me if I still wanted to marry my ex, and realizing the answer was no due to fear that I'll end up on the news one day, was what got me to have enough courage to leave before I was tied down for good. We need to talk about these things more and bring more awareness to them, even if it's a very hard and ugly thing to talk about. It can save lives.

    @SabiLewSounds Рік тому +3

    Sorry to make a silly comment on such a serious video. I just wanted to offer a perspective for you as a Twitch streamer and user. The subscriptions on twitch are the same as "joining" here on UA-cam so there is a monetary support to the streamer. Following on twitch is the equivalent to Subscriptions on UA-cam.
    Now as far as the alerts (the music and announcements), often when we are streaming there is a lot going on that you must pay attention to, the game or content you are making/playing, the live chat that you use to engage with your viewers and other things like your framerate and technical stuff. So, at least for me and I am a tiny, tiny, tiny streamer, the alerts help give recognition when we cannot or for us to even be able to notice and say thank you. Often for large donations or normal subscriptions streamers give the viewers a chance to add a message that plays with TTS so that is the annoying voice you hear. Lol

      These are your typical abusive tactics.
      They know that once they put hands on you it's jail time so they destroy, damage, or move your stuff to make your life inconvenient.
      I can tell this has been going since the beginning of their relationship.
      Only thing is, she didn't get out but try to please him to go back to the loving kind man that she thought he was but he never was (aka, loving bombing).
      Sadly, over the years, as the Dr. said, he just learned more ways to break her down so he'll have more control.
      Firstly, by putting her body out like that he prevented her from being able to take on a lot of other careers. Secondly, he gained the passwords to all of her account to control both her money and what she displayed. Third, he isolated her by ensuring she would do most of her stuff near or in his presence and always away from others.
      Only Fans is done at home mostly and away from seeing eyes. So how would anyone be able to help her if no one knew and she couldn't tell.
      The only reason we know now is because the threat of him hurting her dogs gave her the strength to defend herself against his onslaught of abuse.
      It so upsetting she had to make it public for her to leave. Guess that's one way to have those rose colored glasses ripped off.
