why do counsellors think it's helpful to tell you "you shouldn't feel that way!" when you tell them something like "I am so stressed about spiders to the point where i have crying breakdowns thrice a week" or "I feel like I am somehow secretly a terrible person that needs to push everyone away to keep them safe from the rot that is inside of me"
like ... golly gee, thank you so much, that's soooo helpful, can't believe i never thought "wow! i shouldn't be feeling this way!" before, pretty crazy that you can just cure me with that one declaration!

had to sneak away to weep a bit about how well my little brother is growing up like. he’s such a brilliant young lad and so compassionate and loving idk for the most part I felt I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to ‘parenting’ but I’m just so fucking PROUD that he turned out the way he did
