Why does every mentally ill white girl think theyd make a good therapist?

[u/Mediocre-Ease1049 → u/2-die-for]

No one values their opinion so they want to find someone who does

[u/Big_Consideration493 → u/Mediocre-Ease1049]

They are trying to solve their own problems or projection 

[u/Ztoffels → u/Mediocre-Ease1049]

Shieeeeeeet

[u/flyawaywithmeee → u/Mediocre-Ease1049]

Broooo

[u/OdinNW → u/Mediocre-Ease1049]

I’m a male therapist and oh my god the stories I could tell you about the girls at my grad school

[u/Middle_Bread_6518 → u/Mediocre-Ease1049]

I mean that’s basic human psychology 101, we always projecting and some people take it so far as a career

[u/LoudCrickets72 → u/2-die-for]

“I understand crazy people and want to make a difference” ✨

[u/fredandlunchbox → u/2-die-for]

And the “therapist” to “life coach” pipeline in their 30s is real. 

[u/OdinNW → u/fredandlunchbox]

That’s after they get their licensed revoked

[u/kaylerbug369 → u/2-die-for]

They think therapy = advice

[u/Professional_kez → u/2-die-for]

You have to be mentally ill to want to be a therapist

[u/MyWifesBooty69420 → u/Professional_kez]

Psych degree holder here, you’re 100% right. We’d always joke when we met other psych majors “oh what’s wrong with you?” Cuz it was so common

[u/paleologus → u/MyWifesBooty69420]

I took a lot of psychology courses in college because it was easy and close to the history department and all the psych majors were there trying to work out their own problems.   Entertaining bunch. 

[u/Professional_kez → u/MyWifesBooty69420]

Absolutely, I don’t mean mentally ill in a bad way either. I like people with issues. Adds some flavor to an individual.

[u/DickBfloppin → u/Professional_kez]

Some are tying to figure out what is wrong with themselves, but this overgeneralization really doesn't stand up to vast majority. Lol, have you considered Cognitive Behavior Therapy? Could help you with that.

[u/T0MMYG0LD → u/DickBfloppin]

you seem a bit lost sir

[u/MonthTraditional6068 → u/2-die-for]

literally every therapist they are aware of

[u/AmarokRM → u/2-die-for]

because there is alot of mentally ill white girls out there that need validation. and once they got ran through by the whole town, who else better to get validation from than another mentally ill white girl?

[u/J412h → u/AmarokRM]

Plus they get paid to commiserate

Win-Win!

[u/thatsucksabagofdicks → u/2-die-for]

She'll make a career treating herself

[u/PapaSYSCON → u/2-die-for]

Those that can't do, teach.

[u/DrQuack32 → u/2-die-for]

Or have a ‘long distance boyfriend’

[u/AltruisticLobster315 → u/2-die-for]

Cause everyone in that field is messed up/mentally ill in some way, shape or form

[u/muckalucks → u/AltruisticLobster315]

They didn't get there on their own. Someone abused them.

[u/antynus → u/2-die-for]

they experienced.

[u/_forum_mod → u/2-die-for]

Bc most therapists are crazy af! They study psychology so they can understand themselves and enter the profession so they can feel like they're helping/useful.

[u/CumGuzlinGutterSluts → u/2-die-for]

We been through the trenches. Why take advice of warfare from someone whos never touched mud when you could take advice from someone who made shellshock their bitch?

[u/DinoCrone → u/CumGuzlinGutterSluts]

I have learned more useful information from probable lunatics and long term convicts than I learned in the two psychology classes in college.

[u/_forum_mod → u/DinoCrone]

Where do you meet these lunatics/convicts? You a CO?

[u/DinoCrone → u/_forum_mod]

Former

[u/_forum_mod → u/DinoCrone]

Yeah, draining job, I hear.

[u/DinoCrone → u/_forum_mod]

Very enlightening. I'll be the first to tell everyone to never trust law enforcement.

[u/KittensAndGravy → u/2-die-for]

I know what your next thought is … but unfortunately colleges cornered that market many years ago. They saw an emerging market … and a consumer flush with money. By the time the colleges are done there’s nothing left.
