• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

i've told my therapist multiple times that there is a particular topic i really do not want to talk about right now. some of it does involve him (we have had a very complicated dynamic at one point) and i think he knows that. but he will often reply with "ok we don't have to talk about it if you aren't ready" but then sprinkles in questions about it throughout session.

i've told him flat out that i am not ready to get into it but he continues to ask probing questions about it randomly. i get that he's curious but is it normal for therapists to push like that?

i understand we need therapists to push us when we don't want to be pushed if there is a massive benefit to us. he claims he's just trying to be supportive and is pushing so that he can make sure i am not in a situation that is harmful to me. but i assured him i am okay and that it really is just hard to talk about and i am not ready.

is it a valuable therapeutic approach to continue to sneakily bring it up, despite telling me he will leave it alone?

i understand this is so vague and probably makes no sense; just wondering from the perspective of someone who has no context, if this sounds concerning?

should mention: it is a major impediment to my therapy; he cannot move onto any other topic without circling back.

To me personally, that dynamic would be a flag to move to another therapist.

Yeah, it sounds like he's playing mind games with you. I'd go somewhere else.
