So i tend to never bring up my past at work or family deaths. Cuz who really needs to know right. One tine at work, a coworker of mine told me that his mother died of natural causes. Of course he was still sad about it. I chimed in that my dad died of cancer when i was 10. Kinda emotional moment but from that day on, we have been like brothers.

[@Nandi_Moonstar]

That was a very sweet moment ^^ 💛, I'm very sorry that you had to experience such thing at such an early age :( 🙏, wish you a great day/night! ✨👑

[@maxloval775]

Glad to know there's still genuine people in this world

My father's been dead for years. Never hallucinated him but in my dreams he's always alive and healthy but when I wake up I remember that he's gone.

[@sabrinaleedance]

Same with my grandfather, he's often still alive and well in my dreams like nothing ever happened, eve tho its been 14 years

[@santiinx737]

I thought the caption implied the danger of being sent back to the mental institution.

[@shazstar13]

Although it probably is good to trust your therapist enough to tell them this, since visual & auditory hallucinations can also be a sign of a physical illness - which left untreated could see them joining their loved one sooner than expected.

I occasionally will ask my grandmother for help or advice. Mom's mom passed away nearly 4 years ago, and Dad's passed before I can really remember (I was 4). I don't expect responses, but just the thought of them looking out for me brings me comfort when I'm down.

[@sabrinaleedance]

I still talk to my one of my best friends from time to time tho its been 7 years. I feel like it's more like praying but I do it out loud, whenever I dont know what to do or just wish she was here

[@classicslover]

I talk to my Dad everyday! = ) .

[@jacksquatt6082]

I talk to mine every three weeks, and he only lives about 30 miles away. I feel like the difference between us highlights something very important and fundamental about humanity, but I am not exactly certain what it is.

[@classicslover]

@@jacksquatt6082 You're absolutely right. People often need a change of frame of reference. I have a pretty great relationship with my Dad. And he had a great relationship with his Dad. But sadly great grandfather abandoned his wife and kids...including my grandpa. That reverberated through the generations to mean that NOTHING was more important than family! The bright side of a dark divorce was that I was able to be with both him and Mom since just before he had his stroke, and stay with him until the end a few years later. I remember hoping the mourners would go home quicker so I could go for a walk with him again. = )

@@jacksquatt6082could be very much a cultural or geographical difference. Asian families tend to live together with their parents even after they marry and it’s pretty normal. Some Americans leave when their 18 and never look back. Quite a jarring difference when you think about it

[@ShadowProject01]

This right here. I miss my dad and little brother dearly and still talk to them occasionally

I have a question. Is there something you really shouldn't tell a therapist? For whatever reason?

[@ragnarox16]

I want to know too

[@chillemdafoe1738]

Well yeah any major crimes

[@hundop9195]

Often traumas should be talked about very slowly (and sometimes it's best to not discuss them directly). The reason for that is because going too deep too fast can cause retraumatization or can trigger depression, increased suicidality, etc.

[@Nevermore093]

Probably anything intimate or romantic feelings you have for the therapist. that would just end up so awkward for future sessions and probably be a danger for the therapist.

[@chillemdafoe1738]

@@Nevermore093 theyll usually refer you to another then

[@jonathanmeredith5111]

I georgia. Long time fan! Would you ever consider doing Batman: Under the Red Hood? I feel like there’s a lot of potential in the batman rogue’s gallery.

[@MarMarLog]

I still talk to my fiancée. It's been 12 years.

[@TheParez]

Is Courtney Miller your doppelganger or am I just seeing double? Good and insightful video too ❤

[@kaliglyph]

my favourite therapist joke is that i tend to identify as rare 3% dark empath when in reality im pathetic and misely

[@boiri]

I just saw this clip and my personal take on it is that for some people it's a coping mechanism not a very good one i would imagine cause you're not moving forward. And for some moving forward is letting go, and some prefer not too given that they would have to let them and they probably don't want too. I can understand why but you're only hurting yourself nore.

Thank you for sharing❤

Oof right in feels.

[@MelTheBatEaredFox]

It's cute...

[@DannyRayqu]

So in the movies and tv shows, when they see a dead person and they talk to them and no one else does, it's a representation of that? 🤔

[@antpruitt]

🧡 you

With each day that you do not talk about Mushoku Tensei - a show, tailor made for your channel - I can take your channel less seriously.

[@sparki9085]

So many accusations, so little evidence
