Therapy needs to be defunded holy shit, so many horrible people always talk about therapy like a panacea and they just end up more crazy and retarded that they already were, bring back asylums instead, either you get better or you get locked in the padded cell, his talk of therapy is so mindnumbing.
You need to understand that for most people, therapy is just an opportunity to say everything about themselves to someone who has "heard it all before". The benefit usually is that someone who has to explain themselves to another person is going to both have to conceive of an explanation for their condition they are unhappy with, and also hear themselves vocalize it. Then, they are going to talk about whatever it is that bothers them. Most people in my experience, do not have these conversations about themselves with other people because it seems self-involved, or feels vulnerable, or whatever. Plain language: Its hard to tell people about your emotional problems, and its hard for most people to help you with them. Thus, we created therapy, in an attempt to heal an abstraction.
But what Idubbbz has been doing is not actually therapeutic. Lets say he hates his father, well the goal of therapy is not going to be "thats good, keep hating your father." It's going to be an attempt to understand your own emotions, understand that people have shortcomings, and then move beyond that feeling that brought you to therapy in the first place. You aren't your father, you don't have to hate him, you can forgive him. You are fine, you won't be the same, and ultimately, the hatred you have for him is actually being inflicted on yourself. It is baggage, you don't need to take it with you.
While I don't think its a panacea or a simple cure for your ills, therapy is really about dealing with baggage you're carrying so you can be yourself. If you have this dysfunction in your mind where you feel insecure, or you feel like you're not good enough, or you have created a circuit of bad habits for yourself, you can use therapy to hit the pause button on that for an hour or so, go over what it is, how it came to be, and over time, steadily work out those issues so they aren't
present tense feelings anymore. You forgive your father, you accept you aren't perfect, you find the things that make you happy, you forgive yourself and you can be yourself.
Imagine you get a muscle cramp. Wow that hurts, it makes you feel stiff. It makes you limp. It gets in the way. Well lets work that muscle's tension out. Massage it, ease the tension out so that the pain goes away, and the flexibility comes back. Thats what therapy is supposed to be like. Its going to hurt a bit to work the muscle out, but by the end of it you're going to feel that wonderful release from internal tension.
Now Idubbbz has the opposite problem here, which is something I think happens to Pop-psychology tards who think they know everything and you're just a dumb chud.
Original Idubbbz was just sort of cruising through life, doing his thing. Maybe he actually did have crippling depression, but it wasn't hampering his career, and it didn't seem to stop him from having fun with other people. Anisa comes in and now Idubbbz is her fucking bellboy. Idubbbz is carrying ALL of Anisa's baggage. She,
Munchy that she is... tells him hje has issues he has to deal with because she has tons of them. She tries to tell him hes got ADD, or autism, or whatever and he needs to go to therapy, he needs to learn empathy, he needs to carry around the baggage of his past and all the people she thinks he hurt. He needs to mind all the sensitivities of everyone else. He needs to police other people in a way he never did before. He needs to hold her leash.
Munchhausen's by Proxy is now called FDIA:
Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another.
Now, we know that Anisa took Ian to a psychiatrist or a psychologist, and then when she didn't get the diagnosis she wanted she took him to another person who did. So Anisa doctor shopped for Ian. But also, we know that Anisa loves to self-diagnose and claim she had a billion concussions, and multiple wombs, and a 40bpm heart rate and all this shit...well...
>Tell a healthcare provider that someone within your care is experiencing symptoms they aren't actually experiencing.
>Interfere with someone else's treatment plan
There are multiple podcast proofs that Anisa has done this.
She interfered with Ian's boxing schedule multiple times. She also
went into the psychiatrict appointment with Ian and had receipts to get the ADD diagnosis.
I think shes insane, and her personality disorder has spread to Ian in a malingering kind of way. It's not just codependency, Shes straight up mentally ill.
Now, I am not a doctor. But I have been to therapy because finding someone I could trust to deal with inner turmoil helped ease my mind and allowed me to feel more centered, and based. (psychologist, not psychiatrist).
So take everything I say with a grain of salt, except this.
Ian is not getting proper therapy, he is being reprogrammed.
