i wish every therapist was like MY therapist who 1) is the most selfless and caring person i've ever met in my entire life, 2) SIGNIFICANTLY reduced her rates so it was affordable for me (and has done this with other clients), 3) is just generally an amazing human being https://twitter.com/hudlion/status/1274389834891739138
everyone deserves a kim!!!! everyone deserves a therapist they can text at 10pm on a saturday night after a bad date that gave them a ptsd panic attack and then that therapist calls you to talk you through it, at 10 on a saturday night, so you can calm urself enough to drive home
everyone deserves a therapist that comes to visit you when you're in the hospital after major surgery, stays for two hours, talks to you the whole time about how you're feeling and how you're doing, and doesn't count it as a session that they charge you for
everyone deserves a therapist who is then willing to drive an hour and a half to your house every other week for months because you can't drive/sit in a car for that long after massive back surgery and still doesn't charge extra for the mileage, even though you offer to pay it
everyone deserves a therapist who will say they're proud of you, who will remind you of how far you've come and how hard you've worked and all the things about you that make you strong and amazing to them. a therapist who genuinely cares about you so so much
everyone's different, of course, but this is mostly to say that we do all need therapy (it's good for you!!! and good for your friendships because your friends are not therapists pls stop treating them like they are fuck it's exhausting) and we all deserve to have a therapist
that is exactly what we need them to be, when we need them to be. we all deserve to have a person in our life that we can talk to freely, without judgement, who will do everything they can to help us in a way that feels good for us
it honestly makes me so angry that therapy is so so inaccessible to so many people, that there are therapists who are literal trash (i've had a few myself) and make people feel worse/put clients in dangerous or bad situations, & that it's still stigmatized
idk this whole thread got away from me somehow, i'm just so passionate about how much i love kim and how different my life has been since i met her almost 6 years ago. i've been in therapy for 15 years but i've made the most progress with her and that might be because
i was so young when i first started and stupid, as most 12 year olds are, so i didn't have the tools to grow the way i do as an adult, but i also just think it's because she is the safest space i have ever had and just by existing in my life, she makes me want to try my hardest
also if you are someone who DOESN'T have access to therapy but wants to try some different techniques, i would like to recommend the DBT workbook. def not for everyone and it's VERY DIFFICULT and uncomfortable but DBT has changed my life 100%
i'm done talking now sorry i just had a good session earlier today and i love kim and wanted to express all my emotions and yikes @ me i gotta shut up anyway good luck i love you all
