No, I don’t do therapy. I’ve tried, but have always felt patronized by therapists. I’ve never found it useful. I’ve found healing in talking about my trauma with others who also have trauma, loving deeply, art, writing, etc.
I have done two rounds of therapy (4 years first time, about 2 years 2nd time… 20 years later… with the same therapist) Indeed, it’s the therapeutic relationship that matters… I was so fortunate to find a therapist who saw and accepted me and who gently told me the hard things I needed to hear. Love your thoughts!
It is clear you have had to reach within yourself to the core core warrior in battles to win back your life, your soul, your sanity, your peace, your purpose. I know the feeling and only just found that inner warrior less than 3 years ago, followed by shock, trauma, grief and upheld by sprinkles of humor. I had times where there was no humor, no hope, nothing good- a complete living nightmare of losing my one person in the world. So now in the mending and rebuilding and finding the purpose, from the foundation up after a complete shattering and obliteration of my entire self
YES! Thank you for the request. I'll get it made this weekend and posted next week. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe so you get notifications when I post a new upload.
You wanted to coach to help people "Create something new out of something that is bad." --- I love that. You really dedicated yourself to thoroughly learning how to help others. So thankful for all your hard work and the gifts you have to share with the world. You're such an extremely intelligent & beautiful woman. & Stats is a hard class. I never had to take it & I was glad for that, & here you tutored it!
I’ve been to a good number of therapists. I had severe childhood abuse and neglect from my maternal parent I would say only one or two of them did I actually feel a true connection and empathy. The others were either patronizing, or they were just cold and clinical. One of my biggest issues was the power imbalance between me and my parent. Unfortunately, the therapy patient relationship replicates this power imbalance.
Hi. Great video Angie. Can you please make a video about when you are doing so much better, and starting to get back to normal life, & then you get hit with a day or a few days of crappity crap & it brings ya down. How do you keep your chin up when this happens? When you started doing better, how did you handle this if/when it happened to you Angie? .
I do therapy. My therapist is very reasonable and understand my situation, but never tells me root of my anxiety and depression. The problem is that in these 10 years of healing i get to know myself and i dont like myself anymore. I know i have such anxiety that never seen anywhere. When i think of future and getting old i collapse and faint. That is too much for me to handle. I believe i am born like that and there is no help for me. I talk about suicide everyday with my parents.
I've been in and out of therapy since I was 12. Most of the time, therapy just made me feel like a failure because I never felt like I resolved or moved past my issues. Sometimes it did help me keep my head above water though. I'm currently on an extended break from therapy. I decided that for now that money is better spent on living - art classes, music, travel, etc. Once I'm fully drug-free, I'd like to try some kind of trauma therapy but I'm not sure what kind. Perhaps something with a somatic aspect.
Still felt hokey to me. Also ~$1000 per 4-day weekend course that did not include travel, hotel, and food. For me that was ~$6000/ year X 3 years. Too expensive.
Yeah, I feel that. Feel like SE and feldenkrais and all other similar types are cut from the same cloth in that they all are movement to process emotions. Been researching them as a yoga teacher but also just thinking like isn't it all the same? But also you don't know what you don't know. Might try SE one day bc it would be nice to work with a practitioner vs just do movement myself but tight on $$ so thinking about the cost benefit analysis component to this.@@AngiePeacockMSW
Therapy ended up to be just as damaging as the medication because the therapist saw me as a cash cow and manipulated me.
I'm so sorry.
They R useless.
Been there done that got that T-shirt.

"loving deeply."
The worste experience of my life.
I love your solutions for healing trauma without the help of a so-called therapist

You said how it is exactly! I’m sad you’ve been there but also happy you are finding your true self.
Can you make a video about bad reactions to nutritional supplements and foods during psychiatric drug damage?
YES! Thank you for the request. I'll get it made this weekend and posted next week. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe so you get notifications when I post a new upload.
Wonderful suggestion. I've been wanting to ask you the same thing, Angie.
I have said that to myself about how it should be talked about more of suicide . But no one wants to hear it and think it’s overboard
God work Angie 💜
Thank you Angie!!!!!!!!

I see how that could happen.

Hi Angie, Thank you. I would like to hear your thoughts on people being diagnosed with somatic syndrome after medication damage. Cipro or psych meds.
Couldn’t hear you very well. Maybe just my phone.♥️
Yes probably your phone. No one else has complained of sound issue.
Why didn’t you choose to practice SE tho? Feel like that’s different then talk therapy as it’s more movement to help ppl feel process emotions
