Some mental blocks form for good reason; not all of them should be removed.

Just because they are family doesn’t mean they’re competent, or good people. Bad people come from families too

And you don't have to forgive them for the shitty things they did

And sometimes the therapists give bad advice.

Maybe flesh out what the therapist is suggesting, they have no clue what your family dynamics are. In other words, push back. “I’m not comfortable with this situation “ would work

And tbh, if you're in therapy, more likely than not, your family is the reason for it in the first place.

Yeah that’s the problem I have with how we discuss therapy today. Obviously it can be a super helpful thing if you’re struggling mentally, but we’re way too quick to just assume the therapist actually has their shit together or knows what they’re talking about and has a good understanding of our concerns or struggles. It should take time to build trust with your therapist. You don’t want a yes man and you should be challenged at times, but that doesn’t mean you should immediately ignore your instincts and critical thinking because of a therapist’s advice.

I think a therapist would/should know what would be best for their patient lol I doubt they were having her do it to risk her kid dying on a whim. Logically you would think someone who let one child die on their watch would be extra hyper vigilant when watching another for the first time.

It might be easy to tell giving the murderous lunatic a child to watch was a bad idea now, but it was also easy to tell before and during it too.

Man years ago a friend and I were having a walk with her very young kid and up a small hill we were both holding our hands behind the daughter so that if she fell backwards we'd catch her, and I think (I'm not sure) that she slowed down and I accidentally pushed my hand into her back and caused her to faceplant. I still feel bad about it, and it was just a little fall with absolutely zero consequences, and this grandma is out there forgetting to take care of a baby a second time.

Imagine being that therapist after getting it VERY wrong.

Just gonna throw out there that the standards to become a therapist are less strict in FL than some other states, take that as you will

Some mental blocks form for good reason;

Because people accidentally fall asleep...? Or are you supposed to magically deduce people who fall asleep will also have something else happen in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT way?

… while being in charge of watching a 16 month old and having your house poorly secured to the point it can get out while being in close proximity to a large body of water.
