Therapist told me I need to practice gratitude instead of thinking about my problems
Trigger warning this post describes violence
went to a therapist due to chronic stress and he basically told me to just focus on gratitude instead of being depressed. There are people starving in Africa type advice.
It was really shitty bc it was my first time seeing a therapist in like 6 years. I survived the troubled teen industry and my therapist there was emotionally and physically abusive . So going to therapy in general gave me flashbacks and for example I won’t enter a therapists office if they have a black couch or if they have a sign like “today I choose joy”
