Stuff like this would make me terrified to be a therapist. It would also make it so much harder to actually help people. Moreover, I feel like all of the comments in that thread just prove that these people aren't interested in actually working through their issues or achieving any kind of long term stability - they just want to feel validated 100% of the time and equate LITERALLY ANYTHING that goes against what they want to hear as hate speech and abuse. What makes these people think they're at all qualified to self diagnose?? Especially against a licensed and educated therapist???

Do any of these narcissistic idiots know how therapy actually works? Sometimes you have to hear shit you don't want to hear, and sometimes the truth hurts. Running from your problems does not help. I tried that. I had to go to therapy more than once for my raging anxiety and depression problems, and I can tell you that having to dig into my trauma and bullshit and face my issues wasn't pleasant in the least, but I came out of it better off and a stronger, better adjusted person. I cannot fathom going through life being THIS fucking fragile and easily offended with such a raging victim complex. It couldn't possibly be that this therapist is actually trying to help you! No, no, they must be an evil TrAnSpHoBe bigot! HOW DARE THEY NOT CONSTANTLY AND UNQUESTIONABLY VALIDATE YOU!!!

Literally makes me sick. I pity therapists who have to waste their time and resources on people like this who only want and will only accept one thing (VaLiDaTiOn and fucking hormones) instead of being able to actually help people who legitimately want therapy and help with their issues.
