I shouldn't be paranoid about him double billing me/my insurance.
Not all therapists are good ones.
that negative feelings come from places where my mental image of the world conflicts with objective reality.
Used to work in the backend of insurance.
It's 'possible' to double bill for a good reason, but it's an outlier of a situation.
If you have a shitty insurance company, they'll stretch money in bad times by only paying places out after multiple requests. They also get trained that if an insurance company drags their feet, the second time they're billed, they get paid, so they always do it.
Any insurance company worth its salt will catch double billing.
Now, all that said, a LOT of providers double bill and get paid multiple times.
It's usually assholes all-the-way down.
Just cheer up.
but doctor, i am pagliacci
It's minimal how you can change other people. But you can change your own environment, actions and worldview. Even though it might take a long time for your body, nervous system and brain to change and adapt.
Even if your parents want to change themselves for the benefit of your health, it might not be possible for them. But you might be able to help them by changing yourself, and then indirectly change their environment.
Yes its *possible, but not plausible_
Bro just do it you wont. (I got a therapist from betterhelp)
"lmao"
A friend of mine thinks we're due for a revolution, but isn't going to start anything unilaterally. Does that constitute "a danger to himself or others"?
Check out some DBT / cbt techniques on YouTube or the like, whatever is easiest to access, find some that resonate with you and make them your own / tweak them so they fit your life / vibe.
I did a DBT course, and while I hated every minute of it, a lot of it is super great and hugely helpful for coping in hard moments and a great recipe for a way of living that's more calm and balanced. I feel like I hated the DBT course I did because the people presenting it had never even stumbled on a rock in their lives, let alone lived through a hard moment and needed any of this stuff for real, and their privilege read as saccharine condescension.
BUT! I'm never one to throw the baby out with the bath water, I believe you can turn anything to your advantage or upskill or just build knowledge, if you're industrious enough! You take those muthafking lemons and you make champagne, fk them. Plus they just mostly showed us clips on YouTube, so lol. The DBT course I did felt more like the break room from severance, having to admit how faulty you are and how this new enlightening thing they just told you seconds ago is going to benefit your life, as they announce each section. They didn't even give you time to process, let alone leave room for if that was something you already knew or already utilized, but, I powered through and just paid lip-service, got my upskill, moved on.
Easier path, just look up DBT on YouTube, find people explaining what you like, give it a go on a regular basis.
I can't heal you. You have to learn how to manage your situation. That I would be glad to help you with.
I know she said it differently but that's how I remember it. I've never been so terrified in my life but she helped me (so far) to get really excited for change.
It seems like you escape your inner conflicts by being industrious.
Not professional advice but instead of going, you could halt posting for a moment and focus on your breathing. It will assure you that you are safe, and you can let the conflicts become a bit more aware without feeling overwhelmed by the terror. Do this for some time and you create the space to transform your conflicts.
Be the leaf
They always tell me "sorry, you're too complex, go somewhere else"
