do y'all actually know people who've been in therapy for like 5+ years and it doesn't seem to be helping them very much? i keep hearing about these people but i don't actually know any. what kind of therapy do they do?

never 'in therapy for 5+ years' but 'in therapy for 6mo to a year several times'
but there's always this point where i ask 'hey, how freely can i talk about suicide and or murder' and they give me an honest answer and that's the end of the relationship.

the thing i get out of it requires a lack of self-censorship that just isn't available in the legal framework therapists operate in; i've never managed to translate any of it into 'things you can safely say' without being told i could end up on a hold.
nah.

(as a result i've been slowly making up my own mechanisms for 20 years, which is probably what everyone fitting your description and within your twitter reach is on. i tried sharing them and that was bad, so, i just do them now, and tweet about them occasionally)
