💖Let me know if you liked this new series! I'd love to do more! No matter where you are in your journey, you have a safe place here to share your struggles and accomplishments without judgment, but please make sure you are having that same respect and non-judgment for others too. This is how we shatter the mental health stigma.💖
Therapists are just tools to add to your mental health tools. We need to decide what works best and how to use it. They are not pills you pop and wait. They require work. Well worth the time though when you find that right one!
Therapists have awesome persuasive power. I was convinced for decades i misunderstood and misremembered all the events of my own life.
Beware.
Im in a better place now, tho i miss my children.
Bingo Amanda 😁 I'm not gay because of any trauma. I'm gay because it's just the way it is. P.s. you're doing great work ❤️🌈
I love the new series. I would really like to hear more on this. I can remember when when I went through the VA and went to a psychiatrist in training through the University of Iowa. He knew NOTHING about me or my situation. He noticed that the medication I was on to help with my PTSD for depression and anxiety. He stated that I'd been on this medication too long and I should discontinue the medication. I made a deal with him that he could take me off of the meds IF I get to live with him for 2 weeks. Then you will see why I need to on them. I explained that he won't like who I am when I'm not on them. He thought about it and decided to keep me on the meds. The meds are working for me ,why would you take me off them. After 2 years, my wife got to liking me again.
Veterans need treatment from people who understand their unique struggles!
I’ve always been sceptical about this conversion therapy. My church denomination’s official magazine had interviews with‘successful treatments’. This man now has a wife and kids type of thing.
I find it interesting that their idea of success is external and has nothing to do with how the man feels about himself. So tragic.
Damn you are good :) This is a great series. I was lucky enough to find a really good therapist in my time of need. Pure luck - and I took that bit of good luck and turned into a lot of years of reasonably happy living. For those that get stuck with not so good therapists, well this is about the only place I know that discusses how to move on past a not so good therapist, and what some of the warning signs are so that people can avoid not so good therapists as much as possible. BRAVO !!!
I love it Amanda I need to hear more therapy disaster because mine I had a lot of threats by my therapist even yelling at me let's do more more more Ryan Barron
First love the vids keep it up 😀💙
Great video!
Case one: Ditto the don't tictok and drive message. Oy.
I often wonder what else the therapist might have said that got missed, but for someone who seems deals with OCD a vague 'gardening' recommendation should have (and might have. We just don't know) come with qualifiers. A small garden plot, something along the lines of half a dozen tomato plants, a few squash or melon plants, and maybe two runners of string beans, would be a manageable garden plot and would give her the opportunity to touch earth and get that therapeutic relief that gardening often delivers. That is the plot that my 84 year old step father tends to plant and keeps him happily puttering on some level when he has the energy for it without requiring excessive oversight. And he still runs his law office (though he has scaled it back to part time) so he stays fairly busy though likely not as busy as this woman. Moderation is always the key, and it is absolutely counterproductive when one's aim far exceeded one's scope. If her therapist didn't give her definite qualifiers, then that is solely their fault. But we don't know specifically what was said, just what was done. And I know from some of my friends that giving them good advice can require repetition because a lot of times they grasp the idea, but will happily "forget" the suggested limitations.
And maybe that's part of why I wonder about this woman, since she reminds me of a friend of mine who really needed written instructions to follow so she wouldn't go overboard with her aims.
Case two: What the actual heck?
I want to use stronger language there, but no. Gonna keep it clean. If the therapist actually said that cheating was really easy to do in the 90s so maybe he wasn't even your dad then I've got no respect for that kind of so called therapy. What the actual . . . heck? Leaving a negative review is good, but reporting this therapist to be investigated is a better idea.
I'm also going to fire back a bit on the daddy issues being a stigma because it's only based on a man's negative behavior. I have a friend whose daddy issues were a debilitating factor in her relationships because her parents divorced when she was young and her dad did everything he could to be and stay involved in her life and be the positive role model for her, and he did such a good job that she wanted to find a man who made her feel as special and important as her dad had made her feel, and none of the guys she met in college and for half a dozen years afterward were capable of being such a person (because in our teens and twenties human beings are all too often self-absorbed jackwagons, and that doesn't necessarily ever stop being the case for some people). In her thirties she did find a guy who didn't conflict with her daddy issues (and he was two years younger than her, so it wasn't a fascination with an older man daddy issues thing) and who was a good husband to her and is a great father to their kids, so in this case I think her self-described daddy issues helped her find the best man for her.
Case three: Oh dear Lord... (yeah, I chose that phrase specifically)
Many pastors, preachers, and priests take on these roles because they feel divinely called to lead people to better and more fulfilling lives through faith, and I am absolutely fine with that. But there seem to be too many of them who are taking on a "therapeutic" role without any real training or inclination, and I am not fine with that. What someone may think or believe happened doesn't mean they should act as if it is a declared fact and sculpt a therapy based on their assumptions. That is true of ALL therapy.
As far as conversion therapy goes, I am not a fan of it and I think it shouldn't be encouraged or done, especially since it is usually visited on a person by other people who want to change them into what the other people think that they should be. The usual phrases for such behavior include brainwashing, or mental/psychological manipulation and these can often lead to self hate and self harm and almost never lead to the healing that some people expect. I will quote a gay friend of mine who was briefly subjected to this therapy by his well meaning grandmother who raised him, "It would have been easier if she'd just sent me to the Middle East where they would have just thrown me off of a building. I felt so awful just seeing the sorrow in her eyes when she looked at me. She loved me and wanted me to feel happy and successful and thought that being gay would prevent that, so I always forgave her, but I just hated seeing her look so sad when she'd look at me."
I have this mental image of the dream or nightmare you'll have tonight. You'll be in a dimly lit room on a couch and the plant from Little Shop of Horrors will be talking to you as your therapist.
How did you know?!
@@MentalAmanda ....intuition. (As a young Tom Riddle would have said).
Ha hahaha really Amanda Ryan 🤣
Guess you might not like Imminence. They write about depression and stuff like that. If you only would give it a chance. The song “Continuum.”
gotta try Green Day - 21 Guns video, Green Day - Lobotomy song wih lyrics, and Guns N Roses - Coma song with lyrics good metal songs to react to.
Therapy fails. In general took a good while to find the one I have now that was a good fit. Really wish id saved the contact info for the therapist that twisted our interactions into sexting. Threw all the paperwork away well actually burnt it but yeah. One big fail even for the therapist I have now and it still bothers me at times is that i had to get rather forceful when I began talking about them raping with a dog and she was like oh you saw them as animals or with animalistic actions and I had to kinda shout no,,as in a real dog!
Excuse me, sir, your therapist did WHAT!? Tried to SEXT with you. Good grief! I will say, the second part was probably just ignorance as she was likely used to clients using such languaging to describe their attackers. Still, it's ridiculous it had to come to you yelling at her!
@@MentalAmanda pm sent on the first bit there lol 2nd bit,,,ok yes i did was upset.
She should of grown weed it would make her feel better... ❤😁
HAHAHAHAHA.
Amanda, with all due respect, I have to disagree with your advice to "fear being stuck in a situation that is making you unhappy". First, it seems strange to promote fear as an appropriate motivator. Second, so many people ARE actually stuck in a circumstance that is not easily remedied, either because of their age in the case of minors in distress, or economically for many reasons, or even because of being located in a place where there's major conflict or political oppression going on. Third, happiness of mind is not a result of one's situation, although it certainly can be a contributor to happiness. Happiness is a choice we make in any situation. Happiness does not mean contentment. Happiness means a willingness to forge ahead & face challenges. It certainly doesn't mean smiling your head off all the time. It means you are in charge of your own attitude towards your situation at any time.
I tried to think of something it would be appropriate to fear, other than a lack of things one needs to stay alive, of course. The one major thing I fear in life is God, since He/She is the One who is in control of everything, including all the little things in life that scare or worry a person. I understand this perspective is strange or distasteful or even laughable to many people, but that's the way I see it.
The only other thing I can think of to fear is to become so used to being in a harmful, limiting situation, that you learn to accept it & become comfortable with it. THAT is scary, the warping of the senses because of constant conditioning.
I'm so happy & impressed that you stood up to the lawmakers & they listened & took your words as the path to adopt! Congratulations! 🎉
That's okay. We can disagree! I wasn't aiming to _promote_ fear as a motivator so much as to say if you're _going_ to be afraid, be afraid of being the same person tomorrow because you made the same decisions. Obviously, that doesn't apply to people who have no control over their circumstances. Often times though, they do have more than they realize and they need support and resources!
In return, I will respectfully disagree that happiness is a choice that everyone can consciously make. Can we try to look at the bright side? Sure. Can we try to live a life that brings us joy and fulfillment? Yup. However, if we have chemical imbalances in our brain, it isn't always as simple as "changing our attitude". The willingness to forge ahead is survival to me, not happiness.
Let me tell you something, your whole thing is suicide survivor, recovered drug addicted, it's in all the titles of all your videos, your channel has mental in the name, your deficiencies and struggles are your whole personality, move on, you're more then that, your beautiful, smart and lovely and your here so embrace it
Thanks for recognizing that I am so much more than that. 💖 I'm a mom, a psych major with a 4.0, a girlfriend, a friend, a writer and a philanthropist among so many other things. However, I recognize the need for those struggling to not feel alone, to have validation and to have a community. If you read through comments on my videos, you will realize that this channel provides that to many people. It's even saved many lives and encouraged people to go into recovery themselves. So being a survivor and recovered addict isn't my whole personality, but the aim of this community specifically is to help others feel seen, heard, valued, validated and cared for and sharing that PART of myself accomplishes that goal.
@@MentalAmanda You're amazing, you're a Mom as well !! An amazing one I'm sure, I think sometimes you dwell in the sad part of yourself to much but as long as you're happy and helping others is the most important thing x
GOD BLESS U AMANDA
