But clean channel + my CH1 Chorus

And I have thin jazz strings and a capo

We bright boys

[Elphenor]

Lots of reverb and delay ay ay ay

[Elphenor]

Is that true because I'll show you the strings I have another pack they say jazz and advertise being thin

They are def thinner than any strings I've played on

[Elphenor]

I will admit that I dunno but tried them out and I like them

[Disco King]

No, it's exactly what he'd want, so that he can tell people, "yeah, I play on jazz strings, I prefer them to rock-'n'-roll strings because they have too much distortion and I'm not a dumb rocker."

O god guys I'm being chased from bus to bus by a strange old homeless gay man. he stays at the shelter and i must have caught his eye at the kitchen. next thing i know he's giving me beef jerky and sharing stories about incest in poland. i tried to ignore him but today I have two hours to kill in town so I'm riding buses (its -15). He chased me from bus to goddamn bus smiling broadly provably envisioning me in all sorts of sexual poses.

[FoolofaTook]

Beware men who feed you beef jerky!

People in therapy: do you ever worry that therapy is an echo chamber?

[ohnoitsbonnie]

I came to the conclusion that I can have a good life without completely trusting others. That thought gave me a lot of solace. I'll stay awake and question things instead of becoming complacent.

[ohnoitsbonnie]

I dont mean to hinder anyone's progress here or look down on you.

[ohnoitsbonnie]

I guess it's not exactly what I mean re: echo chamber. I just don't want to be told that I need to change. Cope, yeah. But just trust? Nah I'm not gonna fully trust anyone but myself

[cork_soaker]

i hear what you're saying and agree completely, bonnie

Yes

I agree that you can. If you are happy with your life and just don't trust others as much as some people, that is perfectly fine. The problem is where there's a difference between what you can do and what you want, or if you're so messed up from something (ptsd, severe mental illness, others) that you don't even know who you are or what you want. There are some things I know I will never have that would bother some people but I'm ok with, or will have to learn to be ok with because they won't change (for example, having children).

Hopefully your therapist can accept that you may not want to the same things for yourself that she wants for you, you know?

[redbreegull]

I'm not exactly sure what is meant by echo chamber. The therapist I saw when I was a teenager didn't really listen to me very much or ask me to explain things. She asked a lot of general questions, tried to fit me into some preconceived model of depressed teenager syndrome, and sent me to a psychiatrist. She didn't even really tell me I had to change or give me suggestions on doing so, she spent a lot of time making me believe I should take a bunch of pills and blame my parents for all my problems which hadn't even really occurred to me fully before that and then she tried to convince my parents to split up.

my therapist now is the shit. he's awesome, super understanding, not pushy at all. one of the least judgemental people I have ever met. He makes me feel like he is helping me to understand and consider what I want for my life.

if this has nothing to do with what you are saying, please disregard

[ohnoitsbonnie]

No it's all helpful. Why should I disregard your experiences? They're relevant

Therapy can be really different depending on what you've gone through. For me, when I started therapy (as an adult) I was addicted to drugs, had not told anyone what happened to me (you all know the story) until literally my first therapy session, was self harming, couldn't work, etc. Severe PTSD and severe depression and current drug dependence/addiction. So for a couple years anyway, I just had to learn how to come to terms with losing the years of my life I lost, how it wasn't my fault, and how to function in society in a basic way. As in, stop hurting myself, leaving the house, getting in control of my own finances (which had been taken away from me by the gov't), eventually working a few hours a week, etc etc etc.

The past I'd say 3 years I'd say I live a mostly normal life, except I have few/no close personal relationships and dissociate constantly (which I can usually hide - which doesn't solve the problem and I still work on it but it no longer stops me from interacting with others), and have some self harm thoughts and anxiety with occasional panic attacks etc (but nothing serious, lol).

Anyway my point, therapy for someone like me is going to be different than someone who has primarily relationship problems, or OCD, etc.

My therapist now is extremely non-judgemental, but she can be a bit hard on me because we've kinda agreed that it's okay because I know I do want certain things but I often don't act like I do. And it's come to points where I've changed and had to come to terms with not wanting what I thought I did, or she'll be like "yo Erica wtf you say you want this but you keep avoid it do you really want it?" and whatever. And I do wonder if I even do want personal relationships, but when I think of going the rest of my life without them it makes me want to shoot myself in the head. So I guess I do?

I lost my point but anyway your therapist sounds perfect for you RBG, I think my therapist is the best therapist I could have hoped for, bonnie I don't know about yours but you seem to be doing alright.
