Backstory... Growing up my mom used to humiliate my dad. An

>>17735322
ok, good for you.

Sounds like your therapist was a cunt and you are now feeling like your dad. Even if it wasn't "domestic abuse" your mom was still an abusive, controlling cunt. Emotional abuse is a very real and harmful thing. Beating yourself up as much as you are for this is clearly signs of how your mom Fucked you up.

Talk to a friend or a sibling or maybe even your dad. You could confront your mom about it but I guess that wouldnt help much, atleast stop harming yourself, it makes it seem like you only want attention...

>>17735342
I don't want attention tho, I don't do it around others and I don't talk about it to anyone.

I don't want to confront my mom, idgaf about my past, I just feel humiliated by this encounter.

No hitting people is p. much domestic violence. Doesn't really matter though, the whole thing sounds fucked up regardless of whether it meets some gay criteria.

>Now I have flashbacks to that moment where I called it domestic violence and I keep feeling like such a pussy. I've started hitting myself with metal objects out of the shame of it. I get flashbacks to her "wtf" face from when I told her it was domestic violence or during stories and it fills me with loathing.
This isn't because you said something wrong. Normal people don't do that shit over even serious fuckups. It's because you're messed up.
Are you generally scared of fucking up socially?

Dude don't hit yourself over semantics that's terrible. I work in Child Protection and literally every fucking thing a kid encounters is labelled as domestic violence. Some will say it was some will say it wasn't, what matters is how it impacted you and it clearly has so don't feel ashamed.

>>17735356
Yes. I stopped being able to interact with people when I was 12 out of shame, and am almost completely socially retarded as a result, I haven't been socialized at all. That's why I went. I refuse to go to social gatherings because of my retardedness, I have urges to hit myself after them.

Sounds like the psychologist you went to was one of the crazy feminists that defend women's actions.

Consider finding a new one / male one and talk it out with them.

>>17735370
It was just very shameful since I wasn't a kid being observed, I was an adult using that language about myself. I should've known better. But thank you.

>>17735376
How do you screen for one who doesn't defend everything a woman does? Psychologists usually come across very SJWy.

>>17735317
Your mom has borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder.

>>17735853
Why do you say that? I just think she is way too sensitive to stress, gets overly stressed sometimes. Then when she gets stressed she behaves irrationally.

>>17735317
Sounds like a shit psychologist. Get another one and another opinion.

You're not a pussy, your mom is a cunt. Psychologist would probably urge you to seek recompense and criminal action if the abuser was your father.

>>17735976
Why do you think she was shit? I think she's just seen some shit through her career.

hitting kids is legal actually and not domestic abuse unless it leaves serious marks. kids don't have the same rights as adults.

It is very simple. Nobody who thinks they are good at their job will accept that a noob comes in tell them what is up. Your car repair dude will frown heavily and will not believe a girl coming in and declaring some compicated diagnosis of her car not working. A doctor will not believe a patient who comes in with a self declared disease she found because of the internet. You using a term used in psychology without having a degree, You automatically make her feel obliged to contradict you. That doesn't mean she is wright. It is a human counter reaction. When you would go to a different psychologist and you would just talk about all the things that happened without using medical/psychology terms. Big chance they will come up with the diagnosis and it will be similar

>>17735317
That's a really unprofessional therapist if this really happened

>>17737077
How would a professional respond?
