What We Think Therapy Is

the second reason that people plateau in

therapy is because we go to therapy and

we do what we think therapy is so when I

go into therapy I'm supposed to go there

and talk about my problems and that's

sort of what we do in therapy but

sometimes that actually doesn't work so

if you kind of think about it you know

we have a bunch of people on the

internet nowadays Who Will trauma dump

and we have a bunch of people who are

emotionally needy and you may have

someone in your life who's kind of like

this where every single time you talk to

them it's the same kind of record that's

getting played over and over and over

again we're listening to the same

complaints on repeat I feel so insecure

about myself I'm always going to be

alone everyone in the world hates me

it's kind of this like this sort of

endless source of emotional venting and

sometimes when people come into therapy

that's what they think therapy is hey

we're I'm supposed to talk about my

problems right so here I'm going to

share all of this sadness and this

loneliness and all this kind of stuff

and if I share it over and over and over

again eventually it'll get better but

that's not actually how it works
