Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

Going to therapy is like going to shaman or crystal-ball damme: you don't know why but sometimes it works. Near to "always" you waste your resources and time and reveal shameful secrets to an unknown person.
If you're honest about your shit, therapists are there to help you look at things from a different perspective.
If you're not going to be honest it's garbage in/garbage out.
You also need to find a therapist you vibe well with. If you don't believe in Jesus and they tell you to follow Jesus, that shit isn't going to work. Your first session should be you interviewing them while they ask you questions.
There's also ones that totally suck.

I swear, some people have failed so hard to raise their children that "no" remains a foreign concept in to adulthood... It's so utterly insane. (no I don't assume that over autism/etc usually but in this context?)
The fuck are you talking about? If anything i took the word no MORE directly than op was intending

I was describing my insane in-laws for the record.

wrote last edited by [email protected]No, you didn't. "No" meant, "no, your presumptive train of thought was incorrect." The rest of the text should've clued you in as to what was meant so long as you properly exclude what was assumed before the "no".
If this is still difficult for you, there are many resources out there to improve reading comprehension.
'I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time" ... "NO, ..."

Pretty much covers the entirety of the "thought" processes behind the current administration.

This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.

It's cute that you think "science" is what I do...
wrote last edited by [email protected]Well... if you get really good at what you do, then it's often said that you "have it down to a science."

This would be a great setup for a dark comedy.

Like she could have you bend over and she'd put a paper on your back and write on it?

Dude just made shit up, it's a fever dream with three dollar words.

my surgeon wanted me to donate my body for research. he retired before i died (we expected me to survive ten years something like thirty years ago) but there's a small corpus of research out there on me. seven or eight papers from various doctors. it's kinda weird.

Also I wonder is that spelling intentional pedant bait? Probably not, but it is in my head canon

I had to read that twice, but yeah, it does make sense.

No, I've had similar experiences. If your experiences/perspectives are considerably outside the norm, many "shrinks" - who likely are among "the norm" - just don't get it. Never mind there's always some who are just there for the money - my mother was quite happy with hers because he told her what she wanted to hear, which ultimately caused more harm than good.
EDIT: Political/religious leanings also often play into how things go.
Absolutely this, I had one assigned therapist/* who really turned my life around and it was all because she'd been through the meat grinder when she was younger too.
