this post makes me feel conflicted. on one hand i’m afraid of most bugs in general, so much so that they make me feel sick. so much so that the only reason i like the winter in the north is that all the wasps and shit will burn in hell where they belong.
but then on the other hand, there are perfect funny little men like this. how can one be afraid or feel sick because of a perfect funny little man like this?



Just here to agree that there are several ways one can be “drained”, socially being one of them. I think it kinda betrays a lack of understanding about therapy to claim “It should help you to feel better. If it isn’t doing that it’s actively counterproductive.” because the therapists job isn’t to make you feel better, they’re there to give you the tools and teach you to use them to make yourself feel better, the working part of that happens only outside of the actual therapy sessions. Though that’s a common misconception and I was under it myself long, even during therapy. Which didn’t help.
