| My therapist cost $255 / 45 minutes. She never once asked me how anything made me feel. You were lucky because you weren't asked those questions. But they're ubiquitous in therapy otherwise, and you're expected to deliver the right answers, at least by NT therapists, or else they get angry with you... |

| We all know therapists expect certain things from patients. But imagine if a therapist had a patient that fulfilled all their expectations perfectly. Such a patient knows all the correct answers to "how did that make you feel?", delivers them on the spot, and is able to elaborate on them w... |

| Possibly, it wasn't "awkward". It was fine. NTs will often act in confusing or unpredictable ways to troll you or intimidate you. It's a faked act, due to the NTs' predatory instincts: the strong dominate and abuse the weak. My therapist and even my own family did that to me more times tha... |

| Which just goes to show when people say "it's okay to be yourself" they're lying and it's only okay when being yourself is seen as "normal". :x Exactly! It's a story as old as time. "Be true to who you are and be yourself... as long as you're just like the popular people.&q... |

| You could buy some flag based coloring books or print out some flag based coloring pages. Making sure of course that the flags are real and accurate. You could also buy a set of miniature world flags or work on making flags out of whatever as a fun arts project. Even drawing or painting then on pap... |

| I stumbled upon this thread, and came up with an explanation why my parents acted so distant and dismissive that night: they thought I picked too childish of a book, the one about jungle animals, which they thought made the family look bad. They just didn't want to call me out for "immaturity&q... |

| Which renders your question moot, really, but I suppose the doctors would be accountable to written guidelines or a pediatrics board, and not a parent's judgement. I like those ideas. I think neutral third-party agencies and/or top-down guidelines would do a lot of good for pediatric patients. Thin... |

| The difference between what you've said and what I've said is that your perspective is destined to taint nearly all pediatricians, while mine acknowledges a few like that may exist, but it isn't all or even a majority. In this thread, "pediatricians" mostly refers to pediatric generalists... |

| Well, I had to go in for two procedures today. The first one was a piece of cake: weighing, height measuring, a finger prick, a Covid-19 booster, and other noninvasive, mundane tests I got to know well by now. The nurse (female) doing them recognized me from the previous visit, and engaged me in som... |

| Consider that your parents likely felt most comfortable with, and thus choose, professionals whose demeanor and philosophies matched their own. If your parents were cold and callous, that is the type of professional they were able to respect and believe would be "good" for their child. If... |

| I don't remember being treated that way as a kid, even though I would be literally terrified when I had to get a shot or go through something else painful. My doctors were callous and insensitive to me as a kid. After all, I wasn't their customer; my parents were. So my pain didn't matter to them. ... |

| I think one reason pediatricians are horrible to kids is the same as why family therapists are horrible: their patient is not their customer, the patient's parents are! So pediatricians are there to satisfy the parents, not the patient. And since most parents care more about "being good parents... |
