idle thought: the more women complain about men not going to therapy, the more therapy gets coded feminine the more interesting move would be to tell men to meditate and do psychedelics (not a claim about whether this is more or less effective than therapy)

btw i don't know if this is obvious from the rest of my tweets but despite believing a lot in getting in touch with your feelings etc. i did not do it using a therapist (although i did work with a sex coach) and am basically happy with that decision, for myself personally

Someone once said the goal of therapy is to reach an acceptable level of suffering and if that is your goal I think it can work quite well

I like to imagine a sex coach is basically like a sports coach but for sex so this sounds pretty great.

I feel like this is perfect advice for people who don't have major/childhood PTSD, tbh. Therapists are for -problems beyond ur cleverness -secrets that would ruin any relationship, yet still need to be discussed/resolved -and the kicker imo, as a safety net for the risky shit

for me, I have actually no clue how deep my trauma runs. I have CPTSD that stems from, but may not be directly caused by, my parents, and that's literally all I know. if I run around opening random brain doors, I may bring up something nasty I cannot put down
