the meditation,the stupid cognitive behavior therapy.. yeah too many pop psychologists out there.

I hate this eastern religious practices,positive think and mind-fucking myself (CBT) bullshit as if its a part of therapy. For me it doesn't work and I feel like the therapist isn't listening me. Like they're just selling some new age thing they have faith in. Christian therapy Hahahahaaa yeah.
All of this shit has nothing to do with what I need to heal. I feel ya.
