Therapeer - A site I won't recommend for Emotional Support


So I decided to sign up on this site, to see where I can give emotional support to people.

There was this adult female claiming to have been abused as a child...she said she did not want to go to therapy, and wanted to know what is her alternatives.

I told her that she can go on a spiritual journey to resolve her issues, that she can overcome the issues herself if she really wanted to.


I also told her that therapists often times do more harm than good.

I told her I was also a victim of abuse and can relate.

All she was interested in is hearing people telling her what she wanted to hear, she cussed out other abuse survivors who had 10 years more time to heal.

Another user suggested group therapy... I said it would be impossible with people like that, people who like to dissociate instead of healing, people whose peace rely on hearing what other people tell them so they don't have to deal with their own thoughts, people who cuss out survivors of abuse who managed to come to a place where instead of crying over their problems all day, seeking the wrong type of attention to distract them from their problems, some actually learned how to be still and deal with it in a mature way.

Well long story short the little chit decided to report me, and I got banned over this one stupid incident, because of an adolescent who pretended to ask for alternatives for therapy. I wasn't even a member of that site for one week. The admins were obviously very emotionally immature themselves to not be able to see how the reporting was unwarranted.

I was branded as insensitive to people's problems and making a joke of therapy.

If you want to get gaslighted by people who pity themselves every day, all day, go join that site - there is a lot people pretending to be counsellors that distract themselves from their own problems by pretending to know how help others.

That site should be renamed as the "dissociation club" with the slogan: a place where we don't heal, only cry and talk about sitting in therapy.

That site will never see me again, what was supposed to be a helpful open minded community is truly a closed-minded community, with healing on its lowest priority list.

Like to dissociate?
It's not a choice.

@SW-User to a degree it is not voluntarily, however some people get addicted to live in that space

@SW-User

She doesn't understand what it means. She thinks there is on/off switch my friend.

She also seems to have stigmatized ASPD to the point that she believes mental illnesses define people and not their actions.

@DianaGyana Please read on dissociation, no one get's addicted to it in the context of Trauma.

The symptoms of dissociation include the following.

Amnesia - This means memory loss. You might lose your memories of things that have happened to you.
Depersonalisation - Feeling disconnected from your own body.
Derealisation - Feeling disconnected from the world around you.
Identity confusion - You might not have a sense of who you are.
Identity alteration - This means your identity may have changed. You might remember your old identity or not.
Loss of feelings.
Losing control of your body movements.

It is not something a person chooses. It helps at nothing, it doesn't make you avoid coping. Educate yourself.

@DianaGyana

When you're over the fact that I criticized you, I hope you will try to understand the words you picked and why you're wrong. There are more important things than your ego and getting kicked out of a website.

@Miram this not about my ego but yours and your love for sociopaths and trying to make excuses for all types of abusers. Please bugger off already.
