For originality's sake, here are some short bits to address frequently mentioned topics.
>in countries where psychology is done seriously, it is a very lucrative occupation, as much as it is demanding both in studies/training and actual practice
>psychoanalysis is only a subdomain of psychology and is considered, within psychology, as a pseudoscience because of the way it "proves" its claims, which is not to say it is 100% wrong or that it hasn't been important, but one can't make claims about psychology as a whole based solely on psychoanalysis, that would be (somewhat) like trying to dismiss chemistry because of homoepathy
>"psychological" magazines aimed at women are written by journalists, not psychologists, and are not representative of the academic field
>yes, the way you were raised and developed as a baby, infant, child, teenager, young adult, has undeniable and potent effects on who you are today
Same rate. You can do an hour and a half, though I personally do 2 hours for patients who want that much in one go. The rate is the same.

Have you ever encountered schizoids? What do you think about them?
Noah Richardson
No thanks, I'll just have the burger and fries.
Nathan Thompson
Those generally don't seek therapy, so I haven't met them as patients, but I know people who might very well be schizoids. Sometimes it's difficult knowing whether the person is schizoid or just socially anxious to the point where they truly feel better alone (but would feel even better if they could socialise anxiety-free).

Are you that girl from reddit OP?
Luis Wilson
From my own personal experiences, which includes having seen about 10 therapists (half LMFT and half clinical psychologists), 14 psychiatrists, 9 different medications over 12 years, 1 voluntary and 1 involuntary hospitalization, and 1.5 years in a level 14 group home in California for bad behavior, I am very, very skeptical of psychology. If you aren't just an user roleplaying, then I would be very interested to know what kind of clients you see that are, practically speaking, impossible to treat. People are socially obligated to tell me >just stick with it, hang in there, try a new med, try a new therapists, try a new technique! and it just doesn't work that way in reality. It is all said from a perspective worlds away from mine. What does one do in my shoes? I'm seeing a new therapist right now for the 4th session and I get the feeling there is nothing in her toolbox, her repertoire, her bag of magic tricks, that will be remotely useful to me. Every major insight and epiphany I had came from myself, through experience or just doing nothing at all. No professional has ever offered a perspective or angle I haven't already thought and I swear to I'm not being edgy or "le too smart for le ebin professional". A lot of good their education and training did when they offered absolutely no practical or even theoretical help. CBT is useless, thoughts, feelings, and behavior, at least for me, are not connected about 60% of the time. Haven't tried DBT, who knows, maybe it works. >psychoanalysis is only a subdomain of psychology and is considered, within psychology, as a pseudoscience My admittedly amateur interpretations of Freud's works have given me better understanding of myself than any professional has. I think he and possibly Jung, later, provided many foundations for understanding the theoretical side of the mind. The problem is they provide some insight but no useful tools to solve actual problems.
cant you make this fucking awful thread on soc or something you whore

Why do incels get so defensive and hostile when you try to give honest advice?
Kayden Sanders
That's not Reddit spacing, pleb. Paragraphs aren't "Reddit spacing", you moron, and Reddit spacing has no purpose here.
Jose Roberts
I don't really want to go into it here, even anonymously. In reality, nothing online is anonymous. It's not paranoia either. Things can and will be used against you. I would know, I almost went to federal prison for talking about things online and instead, the feds let the school district send me to the group home I mentioned. Can you just answer my question about what sort of clients you've had that didn't succeed? Ones that didn't just move to another therapist but killed themself or went to prison or something. What qualities and types of problems did they face? I would like to compare it to my own. I'm not an incel, exactly, but well-meaning advice becomes a platitude if it doesn't come from a place of personal or deep academic knowledge. At best, you are parroting something you heard worked for someone else, many game of telephone ago, with vague connections to studies proving some vague efficacy. It becomes very, very frustrating to hear the same advice doled out like pills, to attempt and fail over and over again for years or decades. If you are truly an empathetic normalfag and not some condescending "cyborg" who is just bitter at everyone including so-called "incels", then you will understand. It can be fatiguing to be told what to do and know automatically it's all bullshit and it just confirms how fucked you are and no one can help.

What are some of the most important things about psychology that havent trickled outside of the field into popular understanding?
If you wanted to see a psychiatrist, how do you know a good one?
Are we in a mental health epidemic or have guys just stopped day drinking and ignoring the pain away?
How do you deal with meme depression when a mostly fine young person without underlying physiological issues is super down?
What are your pharmaceutical tools capable of, what are the drawbacks of using them, and thoughts on the culture of prescribing drugs within the field?
>Why do incels get so defensive and hostile when you try to give honest advice? Because they don't want it. It underlines their responsibility and what they could actually do to get better. The fact that they attack me shows how bad they feel about the whole deal. Otherwise they would simply not care.
They would rather attack the people who offer solutions than face their demons. It's very common.
Joseph Cook
Do you know how to read, you fucking nigger? How much of a big, black gorilla nigger do you have to be to possess such low comprehension? I'm not OP, I'm not a therapist, I'm asking them a fucking question about their clients. I responded to you, not as a therapist, but generally speaking, because your question is fucking stupid if you aren't autistic. You should know, if you're a real normalfag with functioning empathy and emotions, why giving "honest advice" to people who have likely faced degrees of mental illness would be hostile to some local yokel telling them to beeeee themself or exercise a lot or just man up bro.

Josiah Peterson

Jacob Green
Tell that to the few polfags that got v& for vague "terrorist threats". The line between shitposting and threats is blurred, especially nowadays with overactive agencies wanting to round up as many people as possible as evidence that they actually do their job. Telling someone to kill themself would be a crime, even, if they did it. Words have consequences, even online. Free speech doesn't quite exist in this day and age. You would have to find a really quiet, small niche in the internet that has been overlooked for years to find a place to truly be free and shitpost to your heart's content.
Xavier White
>What are some of the most important things about psychology that havent trickled outside of the field into popular understanding? Developmental psychology. We actually know how to raise children so that they become functional adults, but somehow this isn't widely known, or even believed, and there still isn't a mandatory class for future parents to take. Some people still think of child-rearing the way people did back in 1950 (some people).
>If you wanted to see a psychiatrist, how do you know a good one? If you feel safe and cared for, and that the person knows their shit. If not, move on.
>Are we in a mental health epidemic or have guys just stopped day drinking and ignoring the pain away? I believe it's always been there, and also that modern life has many problems for us; we're also more on the problems than before, so it shows up a lot more.
>How do you deal with meme depression when a mostly fine young person without underlying physiological issues is super down? There is no meme depression. Not understand the root cause of depression doesn't make it any less than what it is. Everything psychological is biological on some level.
>What are your pharmaceutical tools capable of, what are the drawbacks of using them, and thoughts on the culture of prescribing drugs within the field? Apart from conditions that can't be helped by anything else, I'm generally against medication.
Leo Taylor
>What are your views on medical professionals who support hormone replacement therapy and gender reassigment surgery? Here's my view: I care about people and their well-being, and I am not at all sure that reassignment is in their best interest. I also know it generates a lot of money, as operation and medication produce more cash than would conventional therapy. I'd personally seek to adapt the mind to the body, rather than the opposite, which can't be done.
Indulging in a delusion is not good for the patient, and, unlike homosexuality, I think "feeling like another sex" is a delusion, because the person isn't the other sex. Homosexuals truly feel sexually attracted to the same sex, there's no delusion there.
Elijah Howard
>Are you clinical or academic? What difference do you think this is exactly?
>What exactly is your specialty? Psychopathologies, developmental psychology (especially children).
>Is there such a thing as free-will? That's more a philosophical question than a psychological one. From a purely psychological standpoint, I would say yes. But that's just me. John B. Watson would disagree, but he was a fucking retard.
>What do most people think about the human mind and/or human behavior that is just completely wrong? A lot of myths about the brain, for one. A lot of misunderstanding about the unconscious, also. The idea that people are either left-brained or right-brained; everyone uses both sides of their brains, and they aren't more one than the other, but people can use one side more than the other, which isn't the same. You're not right-brained like you're right-handed.
Jose Morgan
>What difference do you think this is exactly?
Do you spend most of your time teaching classes, writing papers, or treating patients?

Jaxson Williams
>Telling someone to kill themself would be a crime, It is. You guys just want a hugbox where there are no consequences, just like a baby would want to live life.
Tough shit, there are consequences for acting like a cunt. Deal with it, pussy.
None of this would be a problem if you had the decency to behave online the way you would offline.
Angel Wood
>Do you spend most of your time teaching classes, writing papers, or treating patients? I do all of this. But if you teach clinical psychology, I guess that makes you both academic and clinical. Most of my time is spent doing therapy, however.
>A tangent, but what exactly is consciousness? A mystery. We're a long way away from understanding it. The brain remains the most complex structure we have ever discovered.
Grayson Lopez

What problems actually are caused by bad parenting? Also, in those cases, how did the parents get that way?
Jordan Wright
Bullshit. Why aren't you using the tripcode you used last time you did this?
Caleb Hernandez
>What problems actually are caused by bad parenting? Most, to be honest. It's like building a complex computer and throwing shit at it during the process: the computer won't work correctly because of it.
>Also, in those cases, how did the parents get that way? Same cause: shit parenting for them too. This is how much of it keeps existing. It's Conway's Game of Life with psychology. Some is more genetic than other issues, but these are repeating patterns.
Unless the person breaks the cycle, they repeat it.
Bullshit what?
Jonathan Perry
>Developmental psychology. We actually know how to raise children so that they become functional adults
How do we know that? Its not like you can do randomized controlled experiments with parenting. Is it?
Justin White
>Same cause: shit parenting for them too. This is how much of it keeps existing. It's Conway's Game of Life with psychology. Some is more genetic than other issues, but these are repeating patterns.

How did the cycle of bad parenting get started? And how did anyone manage to break the cycle to invent good parenting?
Jason Green
My self my skills and my worth. The world seems like a cruel joke built by a sadistic god and I do not know how to escape it.
Hunter Roberts
>How do we know that? Its not like you can do randomized controlled experiments with parenting. Is it? Studies have been conducted for decades. See the Stranger Situation experiment, for instance.
There are a lot more, of course. The results are basically pic-related. Out of 4 types of parenting, only one is the best, and the others cause trouble. This stuff isn't nearly as mysterious and deep as one could think. I recommend reading about the parenting types to know more.
I'm scared to put in the effort to 'study' something hard, but I know for a fact that I'll be able to pass my classes if I put in the effort. Do you have any analysis/tips on how I can get rid of my 'wall'?
Charles Clark
I cannot fucking walk like a normal person next to w*men, I'm like 8/10 too, today two girls were laughing (cheerfully) while looking at me and hiding their faces with bottles of water, peeking through, and i almost tripped because i was insanely scared of making some kind of mistake
because the majority of the time that people try and give them "help" it's really just a thinly veiled excuse to bully them.
Jaxon White
Kay, so I want some answers and maybe u can help me. I am quite sociable but always tend to maintain a few people as close friends, the others are just people that I can hang out from time to time. The thing is I tend to isolate myself, its like I need the urge to delete my past and Neglect my friends and I am happy about it. I did that after my 5 years of elementary school finished, the same after 3years of middle school (I changed school at that time so also classmates) and now I did it again in high school. I start to get bored of them and also feel the urge to prove them something 10/20 years later, meanwhile tho I tend to feel lonely and I am like...wtf I am the one thats doing this, why I am feeling sad then?
William Parker
Can you recommend modern empirically grounded books on parenting please?
See procrastination and everything about it. You worry more about doing the deed than you should, and actually doing it would lessen your anxiety.
Charles Howard
When I neglect them I feel like I am doing the right thing, seeing friendship as something that will restrain me to greater things? I dunno user
Jaxon Kelly
>I cannot fucking walk like a normal person next to w*men, Anxiety triggered you into manual walking through self-consciousness. Recommended: spend more time with women, of all kinds. Start with friends or family, or anything. Eventually women won't freak you out so much.
That said, if women like you, and you're shy, it won't be a bad thing for you. Believe, nigga, believe. Women want you. Focus on this. Women imagine how your body looks naked, they imagine having your hard cock inside them. That's the reality men aren't told about, which undermines their self-worth, which makes them act out.
If men only knew how needed they are, if women told them more often (if they could without getting called sluts), then things would improve.
Brody Evans
I can't really hold a job outside the house or do much in person socializing because I have a circadian Rhythm disorder. I can't reliably be awake during the day and asleep at night. Sometimes I go to bed at about 8 PM or 9PM. But then I wake up at 1 AM, stay up till 6 AM, then go back to sleep. The rest of the time I basically sleep during the day and stay awake at night. When I think about my life I just become despondent and lethargic because I no longer believe that I can be an agent of positive change. What should I do?
Jason Watson
>the urge to delete my past and Neglect my friends and I am happy about it. Find what makes you uncomfortable about your past.
Isaiah Martinez
This one is if you want to be thorough and want a great understanding of how humans develop, from the womb to adulthood. This covers everything, from biology to every possible angle of growing up. It's a long book to read, and it's enormous.
If you want something less daunting, more "for parents", check out my next post.
Oh. Fuck, u are right. Maybe the thing is with my past and not with my present self. I think my parents are the problem, I hate them and having friends is painful cause it reminds me of them. I will maintain friends once I will get the fuck out of here. Thanks user
Mason Clark
I'm not reading all that shit you pathetic narcissist. Holy fuck, you ever considered you might be the problem?
Jordan Lewis
Here's the other one. It's much shorter, more focused, less intended for academics. If you don't have much time but still want to read something good about what humans need to grow up well, this is the book.
Yeah that's what I think so too, do you have any advice for getting me to 'push' myself into something I'm uncomfortable with? In this case, studying? Or any advice in general with dealing with being outside of your comfort zone? I really appreciated your reply, thank you.
Parenting is often the problem. You base your model of everyone on your parents, the first people you deal with regularly.
Friendless parents are always a red flag.
>can't take care of adults >somehow think they can raise children
James Miller
I have comparable issues, and I suck at it. Here are good tips:
>whatever the task is, start immediately, tell yourself you only do it for 5 minutes; this kills anxiety as you realise the task isn't so hard, won't take so long as you think, and that you don't hate it as much as you thought; starting early also gives you peace as you will have more time >remove distractions >choose a time to do a thing >break tasks down to manageable small bits that you KNOW you can get done in one sitting
Jeremiah Sanders
>tell yourself you only do it for 5 minutes This is a great idea, thank you. >break tasks down to manageable small bits that you KNOW you can get done in one sitting I'll start breaking them down more instead of just looking at them as a massive 4-6 hour straight session. >remove distractions Got it. >choose a time to do a thing Like, a time where you 'always' do the desired task? Like on X day at Y time? Thank you user.
Going to try and give some valid information here:
I have an extreme aversion to specific sounds. I've had this issue since I was a child- I'll hear a sound repetitively in an uncontrolled environment- a child making clicking sounds, trickling water, a coworker yawning, etc. The sound will then eventually cause me extreme distress. It's worse than hearing nails on a chalkboard, it's closer to physical pain and immediate, intense distraction and mental distress. Like someone stabbing the back of my head, or something.
I am diagnosed with OCD, and have talked with two psychologists and a psychiatrist about this. The first psychologist suggested that it could be "misophonia," but did absolutely nothing in the way of a treatment plan before transferring me to the second psychologist. The second one, who I'm currently seeing, speculates it's a symptom of anxiety and will just go away in time if my anxiety goes down.
tl;dr Have you ever treated a patient with misophonia? Do you know if there's a valid treatment? Do you believe that the term actually is even a valid diagnosis?
Lucas Mitchell
is hypochondria always a form of anxiety or can it be a form of paranoia
how often do "normal" people have periods of very intense but short lasting delusional paranoia (concretely: thinking that someone wants to poison them with gaseous chemicals)
Cameron Long
how do i enjoy interacting with people in person?
i used to have a very rich social life. but i didn't enjoy social situations i used to be around people every day, all the time. for example, back at uni. i always preferred to be alone
i became NEET and while i was, i went back to my old uni town for a month to couch-surf and catch up; also because my parents kept harrassing me saying i am not social enough. i wanted to be by myself and i was super relieved when i got home
when i was NEET i wanted a gf, but now that i'm a wagie again i don't want to be around people at all
what gives? how can i enjoy interacting with people?
Gabriel Taylor
>Like, a time where you 'always' do the desired task? Like on X day at Y time? Exactly! I recommend morning time if you have a day off: 8 to 10 am. What will likely happen is that you need less time than you thought, and you won't hate it, so you might end up doing two extra hours and enjoying the work. And then you're free.

This doesn't happen casually to people unless they have the disorder.
Henry King

Brandon Thompson
See schizoid disorder and see if that matches you.
If not, then most likely the presence of others causes too much stress for you to reap the benefits of togetherness.
A solution is to focus on others, be interested in them, ask questions, learn to enjoy what companionship is for, and go on from there.
Austin Diaz
As a medfag Guys, do not trust OP, don't go to a psychologist, don't ask a psychologist, ask and go to a psychiatrist. If you're sick would you want a nurse which is only capable of cleaning the ass of old people or a high-trained doctor?
Obviously I'm joking
Jonathan Hernandez
Any advice with dealing with stress? I tend to break down more than I would like but I always somehow recover. It's just that I don't know how to effectively 'cope' with it and would like some general advice if possible.
>See schizoid disorder and see if that matches you. i guess it does. so there's no cure?
>A solution is to focus on others, be interested in them, ask questions, learn to enjoy what companionship is for, and go on from there. how do i become interested in them?
Cooper Long
I'm planning on going to a clinical psychologist about my problems for the first time, I know that I can ask them to you as well but you won't always be here. Any pet peeves/suggestions you're willing to suggest me for my session(s)? I plan on writing everything on a piece of paper and giving it to the counselor before I start crying.
Bentley Moore
Some anons are so unfamiliar with books that they don't understand the concept of paragraphs. I get this in every thread, it's pure madness.
Luis Howard
Well, that's flattering. I looked into it, and pretty much is right on the nose though. Problem is, there was absolutely no literature I could easily find on assisting in having sensitivity to sound and other stimuli. This is an issue that's persisted with me nearly into my 30's. While it's good to excel in an academic environment, it's very bad to have to wear headphones constantly at home and suffer on a daily basis because of this.
Do you have any suggestions for actually treating the issue? Could you spoon-feed me any literature or resources you know of for dealing with this?
Luke Sullivan
You're welcome, Bond.
If you're thinking about it like this, it's already a concern. It certainly lowers your quality of life, so it's a concern.
Depending on the country, psychologists have more training than psychiatrists. Don't be fooled by the belief that studying medicine makes you a better therapy just because people think more of medicine than of other fields, as per tradition. It's a baseless belief, and what others think does not change the nature of things.
Where I operate, it takes nearly 10 years to be a fully trained therapist.
Charles Johnson
>My admittedly amateur interpretations of Freud's works have given me better understanding of myself than any professional has Medfag above here The fact that you think you have best understanding than a professional tells me more than you think. By the way, no psychiatrist Freud's method nor any kind of psychoanalysis to heal a patient. We are not in the XX century. You don't have a general knowledge about stuffs you're talking about and it's quite common that some patients will read something without having a general knowledge and without having the bases thus misinterpreting it ending up saying wrong stuff, mixing up different concepts etc even if they think their knowledge are solid and linearly logical. You don't know more than psyche professionals about what you're talking, just like a psyche professionals doesn't know more than me about endocrinology.
Connor Cooper
>Any advice with dealing with stress? Give me something you stress about.
You may not be schizoid as you seem to want to enjoy other people, whereas a schizoid may not even think of that, or need that, so don't get stuck on the diagnosis.

then yeah i came home and a couple weeks later it was, once again, "YOU NEVER TALK TO PEOPEL NEVER GO OUTSIDE REEE" (keep in mind i was going to the gym nearly every fucking day
my mom is super extroverted and social and knows a lot of people
they are also super work obsessed people. i guess their 'friends' are mostly coworkers. in contrast to them, i hate my job and aspire to be NEET as much as possible
Jaxon Clark
I know someone with comparable issues.I unfortunately don't know much more about this specific topic.
I guess you could try getting more exposed gradually, hoping that your brain will tune the noise out on its own. Try easy situations, then gradually move up, and see what happens.
Elijah Edwards
Now that you mention it, I actually can't get the precise answer down on why I'm stressing. I guess it would probably be the future, how it's only going to get harder. Many have told me to just focus on the present and just deal with the future when it comes, but I can't get it out of my mind and it stresses me. It makes me break down and I know it's unhealthy, but the thought still sticks to me. I guess if I start improving myself for the future now, then I wouldn't have to be so worried... Nevertheless, me stressing about literally anything affects me to the point where I lose sleep by waking up hours before I'm supposed to.
Adrian Turner
Exposure is excruciating at any level, so exposure therapy is almost out of the question. I've attempted it before and it made my symptoms remarkably worse. I appreciate the suggestion but it might be seriously irresponsible to guess as to what could help if you don't have experience with a specific issue, yeah?
It's fucking frustrating but thanks for the honesty. I'll at least be able to bring up the giftedness bit to my current psychologist, maybe we can do some more research with the information.
Thomas Price
>yes because it would help me make 'connections' for a job and other such things. That's not why people are important. If this is how you go about it, people will not enjoy you.
>i can't think of anything fun that involves other people Hugs? Sex? Travelling? Breakfast? Is there anything that isn't more fun with someone else?
>i guess my dad doesn't have many friends but he is always harrassing me to 'be more social'. I love that shit. When your socially retarded father berates you for being exactly like him, without realising the sheer hypocrisy of it, and, much worse, without realising that your own asocialness comes directly from his failure to both do it himself and teach it to you.

Gifted people are typically less likely to "just deal with it" when it comes to certain sensory issues, like sounds, or smells, or tactile impressions. It has to do with the way Gifted folks use their brains, typically taking in way more information from the empirical world than the average, causing overloads.
Ryder Williams
>people will not enjoy you.
people 'enjoy' people because they are attractive/fun/rich, etc...; people are attractive , mainly due to genetics, fun/rich come from having soft fun easy upbringings.
left wingers like incels?
Joseph Rogers
>Why is the majority of incels reactionary rightwingers? Are their political beliefs the reason or merely a symptom? Their politifical beliefs come directly from their mental health issues. Rightwingers typically like the Just World Fallacy, because it seems to "punish" people who do wrong, or fail, because of "themselves". It's little more than veiled hatred directed at others, while originating in themselves, for themselves.
When you hate someone, you think they are superior to you in something. The strong need never hate.

>If you're thinking about it like this, it's already a concern. It certainly lowers your quality of life, so it's a concern. it's rare, I just want to know how to know if it's becoming a problem

Psychology is just a way of pathologizing those who fail to adapt to a social environment, automatically assuming the virtue of that social environment.
>Fail to adapt to our degenerate social environment? Something must be wrong with you goy!
>That's not why people are important. If this is how you go about it, people will not enjoy you. why should i want to interact with them?
>Hugs? Sex? Travelling? Breakfast? Is there anything that isn't more fun with someone else? hugs from girls are OK. sex is overrated in my experience. i have had sex with 3 girls. i just feel like i have to jump through so many hoops. i feel like an entertainer. it's not 'relaxed' & effortless like when i was with my male friends i never enjoyed traveling and i'm not a morning person. if i had to eat a meal with someone i'd choose dinner or lunch over breakfast
>I love that shit. When your socially retarded father berates you for being exactly like him, without realising the sheer hypocrisy of it, and, much worse, without realising that your own asocialness comes directly from his failure to both do it himself and teach it to you. he also told me to quit my job, insisting i was qualified for better job with better pay; he makes almost 6 figures and has worked longer than i've been alive. and months went by and i couldn't find a single person to hire me, he harrassed me over it. kept saying i was doing it wrong. never explained what i did wrong. yet, he couldn't get me a "better job" with "better pay" if someone put a gun to his head or my mom's head. he couldn't do it!
>In my waiting room, I have a fake leaflet about the dangers of parents. yeah well he has a lot of money therefore it gives him the right to do anything to me, basically
i hate being around my dad. every interaction with him is like torture. i live alone now and he still comes up. i tell him "PLEASE DONT! you're going to make me miserable" and he still does it. it's a punishment for being poor i guess, or ever daring to have qualities he doesn't like
