A thread of the posts by @cait.bsky.social. They read as follows:

I had my first talk therapy session with my new therapist and she hit me with the “you’re very self-aware” ☹️

not the “pleasure to have in class” of therapy

that’s right, I know all the tools and have developed countertools so they no longer work. welcome to thunderdome

      Sorry i was just trying to be funny. Most of these “stoic lone warrior” types do just use it to act tough by repressing emotions though

        Oh absolutely, meme stoicism is a wildly different beast from the real thing. The real thing is honestly much closer to CBT than the meme version. It’s very “what you say about me says more about you than it says about me, but I should check that you don’t have a point about something I should change” rather than “I feel nothing when insulted”.
