I did msc psychology and I was triggered at some points too. Let it wash over you even though it’s uncomfortable as far as you can - you might even enjoy developmental it’s interesting stuff the more you do it ?

I'm a psych major and took dev psych last year. Before I realized I was suffering from intrusive thoughts and they were mostly mild, i was still uncomfortable learning some of the information (mostly when we covered Freud's ideas about children. I hate Freud. He had interesting ideas that lead to a lot of good ideas from others, but a lot of his ideas are just straight up wack.) it's going to be hard, but think of it as an exposure. When anxious in class, do some breathing tricks, some grounding tricks, focus on writing the notes, etc. I know it sucks and I'm so sorry. But I know exactly how you feel, and since I'm a psych major I still get a little triggered any time we talk about Freud, but it has gotten SO much better. Even when I talked to my therapist at the counseling center and told her what triggered me, she said that most people don't believe Freud's weird ideas. Im always here if you want to talk x

I agree on Freud. He would accuse patients of projecting yet it is exactly what he did with his bullshit sexual obsession - plus he’s the reason we have sayings like the wish is father to the fear. Fucking shyte all of it - Claire weekes in the 50’s called bullshit on it and now her ideas laid the ground work for CBT. The cornerstone of psychological treatment. Just like physics fitness - we can look back to understand how you got overweight, but shifting the weight is planned exercise, busting a sweat and being uncomfortable while the body is resculpted to accommodate your new exercise filled lifestyle. Brain is the same. Resculpt it with new programming and you become a new person in many ways. Or at least a lean and mean version of yourself psychologically. Freud was a fucking fraud and I believe it so strongly he should not be referenced in education anymore. Watch a dangerous method with fassbender. Freud and his bumchum Jung were the biggest quacks going. I’ve got some time for Piaget

very upset
my mom has been on this adhd kick where she thinks everyone has adhd instead of what they actually have because apparently it can present itself as anxiety. well i told her i was taking prozac because that’s something she needs to know since i still live at home. and she’s fine with it because it’s my choice. however, she comes into my room because she sent me a video about adhd. in the video, at the end, it says “girls with adhd may develop perfectionist or obsessive compulsive tendencies.” THEN, she has the audacity to tell me my compulsions didn’t start to show until after high school when that isn’t true at all. i just never talked about it, but of course she doesn’t believe me. i just feel so invalidated because after all of the hell i’ve been through, to be told i don’t have what i most certainly am positive i do have is atrocious. i would lose my mind if i was told i didn’t have ocd because of the intrusive thoughts i get that make me feel like a terrible person. i feel like being told that sets me back so far and makes me want to thought spiral a bit. i’m so upset.
