"They fuck more than you" power move
Quote from Matthew Whitewood on October 15, 2023, 9:08 pmGoing Back to Your Sister
In your case, my opinion is that your sister needs to earn your trust and emotional safety to get access to your "deeper world".
Maybe you could try sharing less with her until she starts respecting you more.
Yeah I agree with you. I think you're spot on. The issue here is that I think that's the most respect she's able to have but you're right.
I do the same as you do with my mother. I did not even tell her I got my pediatrician degree as I'm sure she will take some of my success for her.

I'm not seeing the first therapist any longer because I find the therapist himself to be manipulative (I sense that we wants me to be dependent on him).
His advice has been useful though so I have to give credit to him for that.
But that's a story for another day.OFF-TOPIC

Yeah contrarily to what most people think manipulators are quite prevalent in healthcare. It's because it's a field with power and status. So they infiltrate it for these reasons. I think you were 100% right to get away from this person and that you learned from him anyway. I also learned a lot from manipulators like my sisters, friends or colleagues. These people are not 100% bad or 100% takers.
