[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 223 points 1 year ago (6 children) Everyone can benefit from a therapist and everyone can benefit from a loving, caring partner. Who knew? permalink fedilink source hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 year ago (2 children) It definitely does not need to be one or the other. Oftentimes therapy could help in the relationship department considerably. Deep hurt is hard to get through alone, yet I hope more and more people understand there is help out there. If relationships are a two way street, and one person is hurting enough to affect their role within it all there should be no shame in reaching out in that way. It could help a lot. It's a shame there's still so much stigma around therapy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I dont think that stigma is going to get any better any time soon (at least in the US). The past year has given me significantly less trust that anything medical remains private; i have no trust that things said in confidence will not be weaponized against me by the current government. There have already been cases of states demanding medical records for pregnancy, abortion, and transgender records, and texas actually got their hands on some records IIRC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago My therapist says she takes a bare minimum of notes because she understands the fear people have of private info getting leaked.
