I’m developing a memeset of really common criticisms I have with the psychiatric sector, having been through it a lot and having expressed a lot of these as concerns to my new therapist / psychiatrist.
Speaking of which I’m freshly in therapy after a long stint without! Yay!
Has anybody actually had a therapist show an ink blot?
The intended psychoanalytic usage of them isn’t backed by strong evidence, so they’re rarely used these days.
I do use these joke ones with my clients sometimes though:
It can be a fun icebreaker and has the potential to start some good conversations
I literally do this with some of my clients, usually the adolescent ones, and I encourage them to show me their favorite memes
Edit: I even have a saved memes folder for each diagnosis/symptom I treat
Can I get your dankest CPTSD and social anxanity memes, or do I need to be a client?
Idk that any of these could be considered dank, but they’re the dankest I’ve got for that category, plus my fav relevant tweet
Now about your health insurance…
If I said “mood” to most of these does that mean I should have stuck with therapy instead of self medicating and avoidance?
Hmmm. I’d say it depends on how well the drugs and avoidance is going
Spicy and relatable, but It seems my card has declined.
“Mom do I really need to go to the brainrot appointment today?”
Lmao
Edit: leaving myself a good review pretending to be a gen alpha client:
gary is such a skibidi that their rizztasticness is totally ohio and their sigma vibes are capping so id fanum tax them any day bc theyre a sleeper fire and their grind is ate
you know Ohio is bad, right?
Yeah ik lol. I think it’s funny to use those words wrong on purpose bc it makes kids cringe
Not just the kids… (though the reasons may differ)
