i forgot to mention but imperialism is exactly why i CAN’T talk to a therapist about this in particular, sure they help with other things but as soon as they find out i’m anticapitalist they’ll report me for “looney left terrorism”
besides they’d also take me away if i ever talked about what i want to do to enemies of the movement for “extreme violent thoughts” yknow?
Fair concern. Depends some on the therapist and how they approach things though, as well as how you approach things. Like if you sound like you’re threatening/planning to do harm to yourself or others, I’d figure most therapists are going to see that as a red line where they need to report it. But if you’re just talking about anger you have and thoughts that arise in your head, you might not like what they have to say about it but they probably aren’t going to be rushing to report you. There are, after all, people who have OCD, who have violent intrusive thoughts and find their thoughts disturbing, and that causes great discomfort for them. Thoughts themselves are not usually treated as criminal in bourgeoisie “democracy” systems.
You could be more vague about it with a therapist, in theory, rather than going full detail. Like stating that you have a problem with injustice and it triggers revengeful thoughts in you, without even specifying what kind of injustice. I mean, it’s not like you’re obligated to reveal everything about yourself to a therapist. In general (this specific subject aside) way I see it is you share with a therapist what you think is necessary in order to get help. They don’t need to know every single thing about you to apply generalized practices and coping mechanisms. Now it is of course better if you can find a therapist you trust with personal details and trust to have your best interests in mind, but given the context, I think it’d be completely reasonable to be a bit more guarded with it.
You could consider it as something where you’re exploring options and opening up slowly, testing the waters, to see if a given therapist is someone who can help you or not. Therapists can range from people who go out of their way to seem ideologically “neutral” to people who will suggest god as the answer out of the gate. It’s unfortunately not a very reliable system, but it can have benefits if you find somebody who is decent for you.
only had them for one session so far so idk how to trust
All I can recommend as trust goes, is give it time and try to be patient with the process. And if the process is doing nothing for you, or making you feel worse, you can look for somebody else.
Hell, you could bring up trust itself with your therapist and get a conversation out of it. If they are any good at their job, they will probably be understanding about hesitancy in revealing things to a therapist and see it as an opportunity to build trust with you by communicating openly about comfort levels and encouraging you to share only based on what you’re okay with sharing. Not everybody opens up easy.
i could be doing things that actually benefit the revolution i fear
i’m starting to worry that these foul midterms will ruin any “potential” this wasteland of the westoid populace has for revolution which i feel sounds callous but it is true
In the US, I’m doubtful much is going to change from elections at this point. Even the reformists tend to be tepid in their suggested reforms and they are few and far between. And without reforms, conditions are going to keep getting worse and worse for people. In theory, reforms could be done to dissipate some of the discontent, but I don’t see a coalition capable of bringing it about right now.
