Your Questions About Couples Therapy Movie


Donna asks…

Co-workers having sex in therapy room. (10 Points)?

It’s hard to be nice to this only male staff at the day program named Anthony. Inside I want to be mean to him so much. “So, how was your little session with Alisha?” or “Is Alisha any good?” Other staff told me they don’t like each other. However, I was walking by a therapy room and I heard something but I can’t tell what it was – the clients were in the common room watching a movie.

So, here’s the thing. Any group that Alisha runs Anthony comes and sits in the room. They don’t talk much in their office only sometimes. When he first met her she was stretching and arched her back showing the out line of her tits and laughed at whatever stupid joke he said. I walked by their office one day and they were talking about crime – which to me is a boring subject and only corny therapists would talk about that how we have to make this world a safer place. We have to make this world a safer place without easy women.

Also, last friday I was walking pass anthony in the hall when he was talking to some female staff and he stared me down. I continued watching the movie in the common room then left and walked around bored – I didn’t see them in the office and my heart jumped to my throat and I started to get sweaty, at times it was hard to breath and I was getting so pissed off because he has nothing on me and why she chosed him over me. I begin checking the bathroom – no sign. I walked pass the therapy room when I heard something. I don’t know if it was someone in the common room laughing or what. I went to a staff and talked to her and she assured me that the interns were in a meeting at another building.

Also, I hate when women give mixed-signals! I caught her glancing at me a couple of times, when I talk with her she smiles really big, and when she called on me in group she tilted her head. When I was talking to another female staff about her cooking on friday Alisha smiled then probably because I was being funny and teasing the other staff. When I caught her smiling then she turned away and looked on the floor.

Also, why do the women just stare at you – are they in outer space or in La La land – but I don’t understand why they do that. That’s a whole different topic.

I know I like this girl – but I can’t have her which sucks. When I was all decked out and really wanting to make this guy know I’m the shit – I felt confident and was fine. However, maybe she talks about me – don’t know but when I would stare someone down – it’s standing my ground or trying to intimate them to back off. Like the stare down he was giving me when I passed him in the hallway – so is this guy intiminated or is he pissed off because of whatever reason.

I need some direction here people – I hate these distorted thinking and I hate getting anxious whenever I think some hot girl is fucking some other guy beside me.

Oh, best answer gets 10 points guaranteed.

MarriageCounseling answers:

You do have some distorted thinking, don’t think so much, just be as charming as you can with women, but make sure that it is you and you are not acting, in other words, be yourself, and stop thinking everyone is out to get you.

Thomas asks…

Loneliness, therapy and side-effects?

I’m 25 years old, and for the past six months of my life, I have been trying to fight off this loneliness. Around November, I signed up for an online dating site, and figured what have I got to lose. And no one replied to me, no matter how many messages I sent. That didn’t really bug me, but one day while watching TV I saw this incredibly happy couple on TV, and I suddenly realize that I might have to live life alone. I cried nearly everyday for a solid three months. Then it got better, but the loneliness is still there. I have very bad hearing lost, and I do wear hearing aids, they help somewhat, but with my hearing lost, I cannot comprehend things. The hearing aids just make the mumbling louder, just not clearer.

It’s affecting everything I do. I tried going back for my masters this fall, tried going to church, tried a speech class, tried volunteering, tried a lot of things I could think of. Nothing helped, ever.

I tried therapy and each time I go, I come out feeling angry. They tell me that I have to move out of my parent’s house, and live myself. I can’t stay home at 25. I’m not a deadbeat at home, I work, and I figured I’ll save up money for a downpayment on a house. Everyone tells me that I should move out and they’ll guarantee that I’ll meet someone once I move out.

So now I think every day, what did I miss? What small point in my life have I messed that caused me to be 25 years old and feeling lonely? I know everyone else I know from childhood till now, are married way younger than I am. So I think, where did I go wrong, what did I miss? Everyone I tried to date or whatever, has rejected me. I never even been on a date. I almost did a few times, but they always call an hour before to tell me that “something came up.” I don’t tell them that I’m living at home. I don’t tell them I’m desperate. I just ask if they want to go on a date or a movie or coffee or something, and everyone told me no or some sort of story.

So, now I think I’ll end up being alone. I just want to forget women. But it’s a tiring battle. Everyday I want to just cry and figure out why am I being punished? What is the purpose of my life? And now I’m getting massive headaches, and I can barely sleep at night. I just think all day long at work, at the gym, everywhere, what did I do wrong? When I see someone with someone, I’m thinking what am I missing here? Is it my hearing lost? If I move out of my parents house, will I find something that I’m missing?

I guess what am I missing up until now? I’m just tired of this battle and really just want to pain to stop. Everyday it’s the same battle of what am I missing. I think I’m becoming angry, that I’m starting to hate myself, and that I look at myself in the mirror and want to punch myself and call myself a loser, because that’s exactly what I have become.
That’s just the thing about women. I spend most of my time thinking what they want. I mean all I can do now is speculate because I never had a girlfriend, so I suspect that the problem is that they want something, and I’m not the one who has it. I meant hey want someone strong and independent, right? So how do you do that? I mean I didn’t have this problem with loneliness before, but obviously I never picked anyone up.

So all I can see is that something “naturally” occurs that I don’t have. So I’m an unnatural person. Everyone says “don’t worry you’ll meet someone,” I’ve been saying that 10 years ago when I got rejected everywhere, and I said that again 5 years ago, and I can’t say that anymore. I’m almost 30 years old, and that’s getting way too old to start a family or any sort of meaningful relationship with anyone.
Thanks KC, those were nice words from you. But they don’t really help me. I mean I guess what’s going on is that I’m trying to define what I missed too much. I’m looking in the past trying to figure out exactly what I did wrong. In the book, “A Return to Love,” by Marianne Williamson, she mentions that “love” should be a love of yourself. But that to me is like saying, “Okay, I’m ugly, I’m a freak, I’m not going to get anyone, so might as well just enjoy myself,” I mean if I do that that’s like saying I tried, but now god or “mother nature” or “darwin” told me that I’m inferior and I should be punished and outcasted from whatever goal I have in mind in life. So I really don’t know. I suppose I should just “accept” my situation, but that’s harder than anything to accept failure when there wasn’t even a success to start with. All I want is a chance, and I feel I blew it long, long ago whatever I might have ad.

Daniel,

You are not a loser. You sound depressed. Losing your hearing and feeling lonely does not make you a loser. Nothing does. God doesn’t make mistakes. You do have a purpose.

I once thought the same about myself. I always believed I would fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after. That didn’t happen. I’ve been married 3 times… And each time I was abandoned when I became pregnant. Each husband wanted children, but “changed their mind” once responsibility was required of them. I thought I was completely alone. I was devastated.

But you know what? I realized I am not unloved at all. God loves me… And I was seeing myself as punished until I noticed that I was actually spared. Those men do not define me. Society does not define me. For each of those horrible experiences, God sent me a precious child. My 3 kids have been such blessings and great comforts. I have been single for over 10 years now, but it doesn’t matter. My kids are teenagers and will be finding their own ways soon…. But it doesn’t matter… Because the love I truly needed as always been with me. Love from God. Eventually I learned to love myself.

I’m not telling you to give up and find contentment. I’m saying that you are very young. There IS someone out there for you. I still believe there’s someone for me. I’m 41. But I’m in no hurry… Because I know the right person will come when they are supposed to. Until then, I’m happy with me. Once you relax and come to terms with that, you will find happiness. You have to do this first. How can you give yourself to someone, when you haven’t really discovered how to love yourself?

Your hearing has nothing to do with it. My first crush was a deaf boy that lived down the street.

Please please please seek counseling for depression first. You may very well have a chemical imbalance that is magnifying the problem. Then you can work on being who you want to be. The best way I’ve learned is to look in the mirror and see the beauty God created in you. Then imagine yourself the way you want to be. Start taking steps to live that way. Gradually, day by day… You will grow into that very person. I promise.

God bless!

P.s. It’s not about strong and independent. It’s about being yourself and happy with who you are. That kind of confidence is what women like. If a woman “wants something”, she’s not worth your time.

Michael asks…

What’s the name of this horror movie?

In the mid 90′s I remember watching some movie about a girl (I think her name was Lydia) and in the beginning of the movie she is the lone survivor of some religious cult suicide that blows up everyone in the house but her. She is then taken to some mental hospital/prison where the ghost of the cult leader thats badly burnt haunts her and starts to kill members of her group therapy one by one. I remember some black girl drinks acid and kills herself before he gets to her, another couple throws themselves in front of the hospitals ventilation fans and kill themselves. I don’t remember the name of this movie, but I remember it ends with Lydia on the rooftop of the hospital where she attempts to jump off, etc. Does ANYONE know what the name of this movie was, I cant seem to let it rest till I find the name? Thanks
