Your opinion on shinks, please

In your opinion, which makes for the better shrink?

The psychologist, the psychiatrist, or the psychotherapist?

Plus, what is the worst label to date you can be labeled by any of them?

 

Psychiatrists are the ones most likely to label you. 'Anti-social personality disorder' is one you really don't want to be saddled with. 'Paranoid schizophrenia' is also a scary one for the general public. Psychiatrists are really just good for dishing out medication. Psychologists will just psychologize you. But they can be good for focused based work on specific problems and cognitive behavioural therapy.

If you feel you really want to explore your issues on a deep level I would recommend a psychotherapist. They won't label you and should have broad knowledge of all the dynamic impulses and complexes of the mind. Sessions are confidential and you can talk about anything.

 

Totally depends on the nature of your problems, for many people talking therapy with a therapist is all that's needed, for others medication (so a psychiatrist) is pretty much vital to get things moving.

As for labels, I agree with GED + bipolar & borderline also have very negative connotations.

 

Psychiatrists are often jerks. Brief and just hand out meds like candy.

If you want to talk to someone instead and let out all your problems, then you see a therapist/psychologist. They will listen,or pretend to. They will also pretend to be on your side of things but probably judge you in your head and notes.

I was on good terms with my therapist and she would text me... Talk about my day, she would see how I am. Others I've known have labeled them "the rapist" though. Not sure because they charge a lot of money,or other reasons.

I've never seen a psychotherapist.

 

You could always talk to me..

 

i was kind of wondering what a shink was. somewhere between a shank and skunk?
figured it had to be spell fail of something.
oh, you meant pshrinques.

i think a lot of people who are attracted to studying it, are motivated to do so by problems they've discovered in themselves.
of course this doesn't invalidate the science, because the way science works is to reduce the influence of any one's preconceptions,
by means of massive peer review.

i'm a bit more interested in the science of social psychology, because it studies how we statistically, by how we each act,
create for each other the kind of world we each then individually have to experience.

being able to organize how your own head is arranged is useful,
but i've always felt personal psychology to a lot like that proverbial guy with a hammer,
to whom everything looks like a nail,
the hammer in this case being the idea of our perceptions beginning and ending with our emotions.

 

Lol,

Shink.

 

Since you posted this thread, I have glanced at the title periodically and wondered what a shink is--I even looked it up on Urban Dictionary. I never thought to actually click on the thread to find out until right now.

 

HAHAHA that's great and exactly what happened with me.

Except for the urban dictionary portion. Didn't care quite enough to look it up.

 

Shinks are assholes

 

I actually mis-read it as "shrink"

 

It's a smaller version of a prison shank

 

I had a psychotherapist once who talked to me about another guy she analyzed and called him crazy. According to her, he did say he was the gatekeeper to Hell, though.

 

I didn't think they could...do that. Seems highly unethical as well as unprofessional

 

well gatekeeper to hell does sound like the kind of job that would make pretty much anyone crazy.

 

Yeah I didn't really want a therapist who talked about their patients with other people for obvious reasons, too. I also just didn't want one. I don't find it helpful at all to have someone to talk to. Especially when it's their job. It's not like they go out of their way to care as a matter of friendship, you know? They're doing it 'cause it pays.

 

Would be an easy job though, cant imagine many people trying to get into hell.

Its probably some fat security guard sitting on a chair with earphones watching instagram videos all day.

That giy that was in those Mall Cop movies

 

Why would she hate video games because some...

Fuck it. I know that wasn't the point.

Anyway, if I play this later I'll take a peek at the horse balls.

 

The male fantasy is horse balls?

Lol.
