if i'm writing a book and my therapist doesn't like it, does that mean i should stop writing it (it's not porn) by "doesn't like it", i mean they say "you need to channel your feelings into creative work" and i say "well i've almost finished the book" and they go "no, no, that's not what i meant, i meant visual art". they read the first two chapters and refuse to discuss it, when i bring it up they look uncomfortable and then change the subject. which obviously is not great feedback, i'm just trying to figure out if it means "you suck at writing" (in which case i will continue) or "in my professional opinion, writing this book is psychologically unhealthy for you" (in which case i should stop) mahershalalhashbaz has issued a correction as of 23:30 on Mar 24, 2024 |

Tulip posted:If your therapist thinks this is actually bad coping they will tell you. Unless they're a really bad therapist. But therapists are not really in the business of tip-toeing around telling somebody they have bad coping mechanisms, it's pretty important to their whole practice that they just tell you.
