Cant all mental health professionls be like Dr. K?

[Shermaningeorgia]

One can presume that how he sees clients is akin to how he relates to streamers online. He doesn't judge them. He accepts modern life for what it is, and not distortions infused by his own biases and thinking.  He doesn't tell Amouranth she's sick for doing OF. Making porn isn't in the DSM.

It's like asking why can't every programmer be like Linus Torvalds. Bruh, Dr. K is the final boss of his field.

The dude is half indian monk and half Harvard psychiatrist, VERY smart, god-tier communication skills, developed insane third eye chakra to understand people (he said so himself), can defeat all kinds of psychological defenses & establish deep levels of rapport in the span of like 10 minutes with anyone from Pokimane to fucking Adin Ross/Sneako. Also a meditation teacher.

Indeed when I pursued therapy because of him, some years back, I thought all therapists would be something like him. I can't overstate how disappointed I was. It's almost criminal how much he raises expectations.

Most relatable comment I've ever seen on this forum hahaha!

Hard to watch him without being reminded of how he only got a slap on the wrist for collabing with a streamer who committed suicide, to be aech.

I don't see anything special about him. Just another grifter, just a lot more sophisticated and inteligent, that's it. This whole notion that it's good and beneficial to watch 5000 videos about the same sort of issues is so ridicilous, just pure "consooom consooom consoom" mentality. This concept of therapy as a whole is also fairly dubious, despite some normies treating it as if it was a holy water or something. But definitely talking to SOMEBODY is important and a therapist is definitely much better option than nobody, even better than talking to some A.I. chatbot. Even neccessary for people like you

How is he a grifter when he refuses to take on healthygamer investors because of concerns it jeopardise the integrity of the organisation?

Mental health is a grifty topic, and that's enough for him to be considered a grifter as far as I'm concerned

But you're engaging in the topic right now. Furthermore, you haven't directly said anything about the topic, and yet continuously slander it.

Who's grifting, again?

So what then? if a person is suffering psychologically, just leave them? 

Oh, but then you think everybody is serious and push your weird inner goofy ways, don't you? 

Oh yes, here comes the "you don't know me!!" tirade. You have a flair for illogicality. Since where is it stated one must be welcoming to you at all times? especially if YOU commence ill? hmmm??? did your church tell you that? What I am is somebody with weird and baseless social expectations as you have. which are most likely enabled by your family, friends and losers in kind. Since apparently, you're the living god who msut be looked up to, based on a non-adult nay non-human social script!

Yes, sicne it's bs. And those who defend are fools and hypocrites. If they're so "good", they stand for good. and? pretty simple. 

It's a corrupt practice based on partiality that overrides its own rules. Is drug taking a mental illness? not per se, no. But this is apportioned due to things like looks, race, gender, etc., none of which are practising points. So that is one of many reasons it should be banned for ANY human to practice it and only AI or androids with no bias. If they are programmed to be biased, they're deactivated and replaced. Why is that bad? 

Then go and whine about police brutality, getting shortchanged in a store, and all other things that are roots of the same issue. Institutional bias. looooolo. You people are so see-through. You spirtual people aren't who you say you are.

I understand you, hence why i use you"you don't know me!!" irrationality against you. It's clear in your formative years, you were taught that you were owed complete posivitty. that others had to look up to you. You don't get interpersonal conduct at the root. Good. It's to my advantage then.

I'm not making any money off the topic tho. I'm also not giving anyone advice, neither do I bother to listen to someone else's advice. The reason why I think mental health is a grifty topic is because you can make unlimited amount of videos on the same range of topics, since there's always going to be people who feel like they need to hear what you have to say because it might help them. However, due to inherently largely pseudo scientific nature of it all, you can make up all sorts of BS and call it factual, and make yourself seem like a qualified expert. I think it's actually a rather common phenomenom today and I coined the term "fake complexity" to label it in my mind. It's when you are able to come up with all sorts of complex and complicated theories, describtions, labels, etc. etc. but they are, at their core and in actuality, pulled from ones ass. Almost as if mentally challenged person came up with it, but it sounds plausible enough for a lot of people to take you seriously. I believe that a lot of woke stuff, woowoo stuff, all sorts of psychological and dating advice would fall into this category

I get what you're saying. But a proper therapy session wouldn't really involve this stuff, it would be a series of questions about what you believe which is completely open-ended. Not to mention the different types of therapy. You're talking about online videos specifically. IMO the best of Dr.K is his hour long chats that he does with streamers, not really the short videos. That's actually what the OP was referring to as well.

Maybe a distinction needs to be made between therapy and psychology/mental health videos in specific.

There's definitely a lot of wacky mental health videos and lingo flying around but I wouldn't equate that with someone deciding to go to therapy.
