This post is part of the “Stuck in my Head” series. Normal posting resumes in April.
This is the last post of the “Stuck in my Head” series. This post will be about how to find a therapist and to help you issues. I can’t promise it’ll solve your problems but it’s best of have some resource somewhere.
When I was looking for a therapist. I actually first went through Google because I didn’t really know what was out there. I searched on Google for “Therapist” and my state and basically called up whatever I saw on the maps. Here are some sites that can help you:
Psychology Today “Find a Therapist”
You just have to put in your zip code or your address and they’ll pull up some people that are in your area. When looking for a therapist, it’s important to find one on a sliding scale (my therapy is currently $2USD a session) and will listen to you. A therapist should be on your side, not just treating you like a helpless lunatic. No need to waste your money going to someone you feel is not going to listen to you or make you feel uncomfortable.
When I looked for a therapist, I pretty much would unload and see how they take it. Since I was looking for therapists while being really suicidal, I pretty much picked the therapist that I felt actually listened to me. It should be easy going for the most part at the start as they’re getting to know you. If they do anything, no matter how slight, that raises red flags and create unnecessary friction such as not trying to listen to you or make you feel under the gun.
Now, here’s something that is pretty basic but needs to be said anyways: There’s going to be parts that are going to be right uncomfortable. If you have suffered a lot of trauma, it’s a big ball of twine that is going to take lot of work unraveling. Actually, more like a big tangled box of Christmas lights but you get the drift. That means there’s going to be parts where you don’t want to go and will be very difficult. Just try to get through them the best that you can.
Alright, for those who are dealing with being triggered, I have mobile apps (sidenote: I have Android and Kakao Talk) you can use. See, I tried playing Tetris but after a while, I not only got bored but also started to associate the game with the triggers so I didn’t want to play it because it became a negative feedback loop for me. Here are some games that are really useful when being triggered. These games are on the Korean social media app Kakao Talk but I’m sure there are Western equivalents:
AniPang (I and II) – This game is very similar to Bejeweled and possibly Candy Crush (never played Candy Crush so I’m going off of what everyone else says). You try to switch around the little animal faces and match them up at least three in a row to get points. The music and themes are very cute and helpful to deal with triggers. I like using the little power-up that quickly identifies combos so you don’t additionally stress yourself out more than you are.
AniSachun – This game is a match game where you match two food items against a clock. It’s quick and fun.
It’s important to find a game that uses quick memory skills like Tetris so your mind can better process the triggering event and make it easier to cope with and reduces flashbacks.
Here are also some websites that can help you recover and deal with your mental illness:
WOC Recovery – This is mainly for Women minorities, there’s a lot of great resources and they post regularly.
Imastrugglingpoc – This is for minorities in general to create the safe space that is not provided for us in regular mental health fields
And that’s all for this month! Normal posting resumes.
Listen, no witchcraft is good, you are being decieved by satan, wiser new ages and witches, you´ve got to know the truth: ultimatetruths.wordpress.com/
At the Judgement day you cannot say you haven´t been warned
Ah, you couldn’t wait for regular posting to resume to post this comment? Read the post you replied to, there’s no mention of witchcraft in there. You could have waited for an applicable post to foam at the mouth about. The site you posted seems really off kilter so it’s about to get de-linked since your site doesn’t have any more “truth” on it than Fox News. I skimmed it, I think tabloids have better reading material with more pointed accuracy than this site here (It had something on olives. Wow.) There’s even something about the Illuminati on there, that really means the site is couched in little reason. So save the sputtering of nonsense for when the post is on the subject. This post – and series – is not on that subject, as you should be able to very well read.
if you want some better info before you read the ultimatetruths blog, you should visit vigilantcitizen.com or read some occult books,the pagan symbols are often same as the satanic-occult ones, Have you read a Bible? You should try it at least once, bible and god have a very little to do with today religion, you are right, the Fox news do not have much truth there,but what makes you dismiss the idea that Illuminati really exists? There are documents about them on the internet, that were proven by the history to be true, such as Protocols of the Elders Zion and many more,Albert pike letter to Mazzini etc., even if they say it is a hoax, use your brain ,the Egyptian symbols are used everywhere today(that one eye thing) , I believe only things that I have seen , experienced or my inner self told me that they are true, This may not be on the topic, but Jesus helped me and healed me , I see that one of your blog cathegories is divination,If you do not repent of this and get born again you will go to hell, I am not saying this to be mean , rude or anything, but this is the truth,
Dude, save it for when the site gets back on the subject of occultism and metaphysics. What you’re showing is the same homophobic, sexist, Islamophobic, Christo-centric stuff that regularly populates conspiracy spaces. This is not a Christo-centric blog so it’s no point debating any of that here and none of the sites you link, including the one you run, are based in logic but instead super biased ideas, fear and reluctance of how the real world works.
