does anyone know if therapy actually works?

with it being impossible to verify credentials and all
[Not that that stops people from finding work.]
what kind of therapist are you tho?
isnt there supposed to be different types?
like dealing with people who have differemt head problems
text; un: piffleprincess

not sure about equating effectiveness with common practice tho
after all a lot of people used lobotomies to treat mental illness once but youd be insane to suggest that shit now
text;
But, idk, sometimes talking about what is bothering you, or has bothered you in the past seems to really help.

might not have ever taken an orbitoclast to the eye but have had my brain fucked with enough that it sure as shit felt that way
wouldnt wish that on anyone
would take talking to some random head doctor about stupid feelings over that anyway
text; un: shigeru
No.
I mean...sometimes, yes?
I guess it depends on what you're using it for??
The person who is the therapist matters a lot too.
[ He's gone to so many therapists back home and yet nothing ever seemed to work for him... ]

mightve been seeing one 10 years in the future
last month when people were getting a fuckton of memories jumped ahead
but dont see the name listed anywhere so either they arent practicing yet or all those memories we got were fake and thats not comfortng either
no subject
Seeing people and becoming someone completely different. Who are you looking for? Maybe putting up something might help.
I've always been...thinking the same thing. What if they were just fake memories?
no subject
never had very many nice things to remember so it felt nice to try and hold onto something like that
but its gotten harder
dont want to forget it
no subject
Having something that nice, especially away from home where it's a struggle for people like me, really made me wonder if it's okay to...not want to leave.
[ This place was nice, peaceful even, despite the crazy things that happen. ]
I don't want to forget it either. Is there...anything that can be done to make it easier for you?
no subject
[It's better than dealing with crazy AIs and being impaled with a piece of metal.]
dont know if there is
maybe try and write it all down??
itd be a lot but its not like time is an issue
no subject
[ Better than dealing with eldritch terrors from a fallen dark god and societies inherent hatred for your kind because they tend to turn into eldritch horrors too. ]
Writing it all down is a great idea! It also helps put your thoughts in order too, if that's something you're having trouble with.
I was often told to do that when I was going to therapy back home...
It does work to keep you calm and to help collect your thoughts.
no subject
after a while it got kind of nice being somewhere people dont know my name
[Even though she grapples with the nagging notion that she doesn't deserve it. Monsters shouldn't get second chances.]
serious?
thats an actual thereapy practice?
no subject
Being in a place that...doesn't have any stigmas towards you or what you are sure is different, huh?
[ It's just so...weird. ]
Writing in a journal? Yes! I...I actually used to do it from time to time. It really did help, for my phobia especially when I was anxious and feeling down about...my progress. Or. I guess lack of progress.
no subject
cant say it wasnt undeserved tho
[Rey's had to deal with her own robo-racism on a number of occasions, so she's not one to complain about stigmas.]
will try that then
never did the journaling thing before but it cant be entirely useless if people do it
dont know whether to write shit digitally or by hand
think it make a difference?
no subject
I hope it helps you though. I think meditation is also something worth looking into as well.
no subject
meditation would be horrrible for someone lik me
[Not that Rey isn't used to it, but only out of necessity.
[On purpose, though? It's an absolute mess when you've got so many memories of different people in your head like she does.]
no subject
[ Maybe she's in a similar situation to himself? Being a phrobiest and all means he's definitely different than normal people. ]
Well maybe not meditation then. But something that can instill a sense of relaxation might be good! For me, it's cleaning, cooking, and drawing.

Though I imagine plenty of outside factors can effect the results

no subject
But usually, no
The worst thing that could probably happen is negligence or something equally bad but otherwise nonfictional in nature
Unfortunately my experience with therapy is limited at best
I may not be the best person to ask in regards to looking for a therapist
no subject
not that it was a therapist who did that shit but it doesnt help being around doc types
there was appartently someone in the future who was helping back when we were gettng all those memories
have no way of knowing if they were an actual person or not
guess a lot changes in 10 years
no subject
Yes a shifty bunch if you ask me
Oh no doubt about that
Did you not meet them in person?
No clue as to who it could be at all?
no subject
was having weekly meetings with them at their office
but the details like their name and face are all fuzzy now
didnt even know that they had those kinds of services in this place until gettng those memories
admittedly never went looking
no subject
Troubling, to say the least
I do faintly recall that people who aren't moonblessed were harder to remember after that whole ordeal went down.
Like any metropolis, it's full of surprises so I wouldn't deny their existence outright
For all its sparkling exterior and superior(?) technology it seems we're still hardpressed to find a proper directory in this world
no subject
never heard of anything about that that
but havemt spent a whole lot of time asking around
was kind of worried what the answer would be
[Which was exactly that.]
youd think with a whole network and magic shit itd be easier but noooo
holy cow gmail ate this
Asking around only filled in some of the gaps but I only recall a small handful of faces
There'll always be pros and cons no matter how technologically advanced a civilization is
Such a shame
Any luck finding someone who can help in this time period, perhaps?
Surely there's at least one out there somewhere
ugh i hate it when that happens.
had memory issues before but didnt expect theyd ever come back up again
[Considering that it shouldn't be possible to imprint anything into Rey's synthetic brain anymore, what with the system protections now in place.]
not yet but wasnt sure if anyone had any experience with those kinds of services here yet
wanted to ask and see what people had to say
hear that helps sometimes - asking that is
no subject
I see
An interesting hypothesis
Do you feel that it has helped in some form?
goddamn, now *i'm* the late one ಥ﹏ಥ
havent really found any solid answers yet
hahahaha all good
Hang in there then yeah?
I'm sure there are no easy answers when it comes to things of this nature
no subject
nothings ever been easy before so why start now?
[Not in the least bit salty about it whatsoever. Not at all.]
thanks tho
might just see what can be done about this mess [The mess that is her. She is the mess.]
no subject
I wish you luck.
And try to take it easy in the meantime.
Text; un: technogirl

but it always seemed easier to bottle it up than bother anyone with it haha [She's not really laughing, she's just being flippant.]
guess it helps knowing theyll get paid to listen at least
