I did have to restart my browser, and even go into the Task Manager to fully shut it down before the audio would stop. No sign of it coming back yet.

or when you have 20-100 tabs open

this is just asking for trouble and you know it

Trouble and browser lag near the high end of that, if they're all youtube tabs.

I have the absolute worst luck with therapists:

Just paid a therapist (in advance) and told her how horribly abused I was as a child. She actually called me a liar, because "someone would've noticed if it was really that bad."

I don't even.... What.... Yes, I have an immensely messed up childhood and life. I kinda thought that was what psychologists were for: namely fixing that shit. I really don't get this lady or why on earth I weirded her out. I mean I know I'm messed up, but I can't be the worst thing she's heard can I? Can't say I'd like that implication if it were true.... I don't really get this considering that she just got like, all told, $120 to just listen to me for about an hour. I mean really? I get it, I really do, I'm not expecting instant results or anything and I totally understand that customers are unreasonable as a rule, but she basically didn't even wanna listen, which is all I wanted really. The hell are you supposed to do if you're from a messed up situation like that if you can't talk to a shrink. It really isn't a conversation piece to talk about, "Hi, I was horridly abused as a child along with other immensely personal things you'd rather not hear about, come and listen to them anyhow." It doesn't roll off the tongue.

I dunno. At least she's not as bad as the one in college who told me I was going to hell for being gay, but I don't think I'll be going back to this therapist.

I'd demand a refund. You paid for a service you were denied.

[Frumple]

Yeah, that kind of line is a... well, should be, anyway... a line a therapist worth a shit probably shouldn't be spouting. If they're not painfully aware of how people slip through the cracks, either they were failed by who trained them or failed as a student. Don't know what else I can say about that, other than to keep looking for a capable one. They're tremendously helpful when they're competent, it's just finding those ones. That'un doesn't sound like she's it.

I sympathize Truean. I have a counselor for drug court, and I pretty obviously can not trust her. She says everything I tell her goes no further, and then when I see the judge or my PO, they talk about shit I told her, so... I'm just like, 'I have trouble flirting with women.' Which I really don't. So she won't ask me about anything that actually matters.
It sucks when the 'help' you're getting is doing the exact opposite.

[MaximumZero]

Bluh, therapists. Haven't yet found one worth a damn. Haven't yet found one better than the internets.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Never trusted therapists. Luckily, I've never needed one either.

I kinda want to tell my therapist where to stuff it sometimes, but I get the feeling he's gotten that a lot. Like my long hair; he suggested I cut it, I started my soapboxing, and he went "here we go!" as if he's gotten such soapboxes many times before. He's always advocating submission to authority whenever a disagreement arises.

But other than that he's a cool dude.

[Hanslanda]

Submission to authority is overrated.

FIGHT THA POWAH! Ahem. /Rebellion

[kaijyuu]

Indeed!


Hell I got my long hair due to overhearing some bullshit prejudice toward long haired men from some authority figures. "I'll show them!" I thought. Turns out confirmation bias is stronger than one person willing to stand up as a positive example.

/shrug

I did convince one guy though. I guess that's worth it.

[Flying Dice]

Heh, I started growing my hair out because it was easier/cheaper/my hair looked shitty when it was short. The ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH thing came later.

Holy shit you do. That's extremely irresponsible for a therapist to just straight-up call a patient a liar without even bothering to check the veracity of what you said. Was this your first time visiting her? Even if you were lying that would be reckless and I don't believe you were. Man, I can't believe someone who's job is ostensibly to help people work through emotional problems would be so callous. Jack Nicholson would be a better therapist.

but I am the power?
