Therapist rejecting MGTOW

justinhinds · 2020-05-22T01:10:34+00:00

My therapist (a woman) was open to the idea of me being MGTOW. She believed that as long as it didn't bring harm to others, whatever path I chose for myself was alright by her. She also said other male clients of hers claimed to be MGTOW as well.

A good therapist like her won't guide you toward any particular path. Instead, he or she will help you find your own way. If that happens to MGTOW, so be it.

I never talked to a therapist but I wouldn’t even bring it up to them.

You can't tell the truth to therapists. They aren't capable of handling anything outside of basic anxiety then they can't even give you a solution.

Therapy is a scam and a joke. You're basically just talking to a mirror in the end but burning a handful of $20s each time.

Never, ever, mention MGTOW to these shysters. They'll just report you to the police as a terrorist. Remember, they're part of the system.

How many therapists are really about serving their patient's best interests? And in the off chance they are, how many can switch off their biases to do it?

I’ll just say it was a journey into gaslighting. I could write a chuck palahniuk type book about it.

I wouldn’t pay a penny to someone who had their career stem from some gynocentric left wing corrupt establishment

Why do you care what your therapist does?

Oh, you mean that YOUR therapist won't allow you to go your own way?

I don't think that you fully comprehend the idea of going your own way..........

Lmao not surprised. Always though they were all bluepilled normies. Give some details plz

What do you mean rejecting?

They are free to not participate in MGTOW if they want. But they cannot claim it does not exist or that you are not following its tenets. That would simply be incorrect.

Are they telling you to not be MGTOW?

I dont trust therapists and psychologists and the like. If money is involved then I have no reason to trust their advice. I only ever saw a psychic because he would see me for free.

Impossible-asset · 2020-05-22T03:29:24+00:00

If i had a therapist, i wouldnt mention it.

TripleMaxor · 2020-05-22T04:14:18+00:00

Im MGTOW but let's be honest not everyone can handle the lifestyle, so a therapist is trying to get you to care about something fun, and women can be a motivation. He's not telling you get married. Just do something you enjoy ...

Delifier · 2020-05-22T07:37:08+00:00

If i ever went to a therapist, i suspect they would try to talk me into viewing relationships as something good.

I mean just imagine for a second: You're a psychology researcher at some university and you try to publish some research that has a red-pilled conclusion. You make that conclusion the headline of your paper and submit it to journals.

The results? One of the following: You won't get published. You'll be chastised as a sexist and/or possibly fired from the university. You'll get denied when you try to become a professor. If you're already a professor, you won't get tenured.

Even when there are red-pilled results, they tend to be tucked and buried into articles--not put as the headline. You may find someone that is not completely against it, but you have to be aware that that is just not the culture of the field.

The therapy community either hasn't heard of TRP/MGTOW or they have, and they have a "CNN" or "Vice" or "Guardian" understanding of it, because most therapists are usually left-leaning and get their info from left leaning sources. They also are more likely to have friends and acquaintances in humanities departnemts, which can include a lot of SJWs, feminists, Redfems and generally "progressive" liberal types.

One therapist I was seeing checked out some MGTOW content and quickly came to the conclusion that we "simply didn't understand women that well".

Au contraire. We usually understand women *far too well*.

don't believe anyone, save yourself.

I think MGTOW has a questionable reputation among members of the general public who subscribe to traditional ideas about relationships and life fulfillment, etc. I won’t lie and say that there aren’t people who take it too far and use the label of MGTOW to act aggressively toward women in general without provocation. However obviously this isn’t the goal. MGTOW have purposely distanced themselves from “incels” and the like for a reason.

I would suggest presenting this issue to your therapist in a more gender-neutral way as this may be a workaround for stigma surrounding the MGTOW label. I think anyone can agree that finding personal motivation and meaning in their life is extremely important. Any good therapist will tell you to prioritize yourself, your needs, and your interests over a hypothetical partner. Ask your therapist if they agree that you, on your own, are a whole person and that a mate is not necessary to validate that fact.

And if they disagree, maybe you should start looking for a new therapist.

I’d like to conclude this post by stating that haven’t been to therapy in 18 months. In that time I stopped drinking and smoking pot. I’ve finished school and started a new career. I’ve got no debt except my house payment. I love my dog. And being a free agent mgtow is the best.

Therapist here

I’ve worked with a lot of men and women who have histories of abusive, codependent relationships. I tend to think that focusing on building a strong healthy sense of self and personal goals are important in those cases. People usually need to avoid relationships for a time to do that work.

If a client told me they were MGTOW, I’d work with them to build their sense of self, their independence, and their life goals. Therapist aren’t supposed to tell you what to do, they are supposed to help you process. Challenging your thoughts and ideas is a part of that, but your choices should be yours to make.

PubliusVirgilius · 2020-05-22T17:18:28+00:00

Therapists are in many case very damaged themselves lol. Thats where their fascination with psychology comes from.

Last_Patriarch · 2020-05-23T03:23:14+00:00

How can someone who is part of a corporation that thinks masculinity is toxic (see the psychologists association paper) and that is heavily dominated by women and/or simp-thinking be a valid choice to give you any advice? It's like asking dressing advices to a blind person... And remember you are giving someone else you don't know access to ways of manipulating you "in your best interests". He/she is just agreeing to make you more open to suggestions, that's the basics.
