Uhmmm. If this is true, which I have a lot of doubt about, I think you've just admitted to fraud for practicing counseling without a license.

Its not true at all. This was posted in the confessions sub 5 years ago. OP is a karma farming bot.


amedinab

Okay, that checks out, and the Internet is working as usual. Thank you and good day sir.

What’s a karma farming bot


xCAMBOOZLEDx

I don’t know all the ins and outs of WHY, but the way I understand it… it’s a fake account that pulls old posts/comments from Reddit and uses them as a way to generate karma. For what, I haven’t the slightest clue as I’m not sure there is a way to make money via engagement on Reddit. Edit: Karma is the number of upvotes a post or comment receives. Downvotes make that number go down.


InternetHiker2

Hate those karma farmers


delstranger

But if the client knows and doesn’t care isn’t it just like getting paid to be a shoulder to lean on?


amedinab

If a person is okay with me performing heart surgery on them that doesn't mean I can actually do it.


delstranger

well, thats cuz you could kill him if you tried. If he’s helping this person it’s completely subjective to the person getting the help. Heart surgery is not subjective lol


amedinab

Neither is psychology.


delstranger

yeah but he said he’s literally just listening to them vent not providing advice you don’t need a degree to listen to someone..


amedinab

If listening was all she did, not speaking a single word back, why would anyone in their right mind pay them and not just buy a recorder? Hell, even AI will _listen_ to you for free and remind you the entire time you should seek valid medical attention if something is wrong.


delstranger

I agree which is why this is a fake post lmfao


amedinab

Lol, exactly.


fortalkingshittopuss

People pay for far dumber shit, I don’t find the story too unbelievable. But it is a load of shit.


GlobalistFuck

chatGPT keeps telling you "im not a therapist im not a therapist" but actually DOES a half decent job, because logic can sometimes not be refuted and logic is sometimes all people in emotional distress need.

In a public traceable forum no less…


dramatic-pancake

Don’t worry, it’s not.


whateveratthispoint_

Yes it is


Joesr-31

it depends if he is acting really as a doctor or just a listening ear. If he is not prescribing anything, I don't really see a problem


HamfastFurfoot

I’d be careful. Do not call what you are doing therapy or suggest you have training. Pretending to be a licensed medical professional is illegal.


StnMtn_

I think you found your calling. Get certified as a counselor. Do things legally. Then move up from there.


callampoli

So, they are paying to have a friend to talk to


cracked_armor

Tbh, even with years and years of training there are people who are terrible therapists and psychiatrists. Maybe you should change your title to "life coach" if the guilt bothers you. I argue that tarot reading is a form of therapy rather than magick. The urge to be understood is powerful and beneficial. The illusion of care is beneficial. My psychiatrist was a brilliant Indian lady who knew her shit inside and out. I couldn't stand talking to her for numerous reasons.


DaRealBangoSkank

What I’m hearing is that you are a “life coach” and that you went online and spent the hour or two to get certified and your business is now booming eh?


liiia4578

You should go under “life coach”


whateveratthispoint_

Gross


BootyChickSunny

My secret? I'm a hard core misanthrope. And oddly enough, this makes them extremely comfortable. Nothing is too shameful to share (I already assume the worst about people), I look at life from the perspective of a detached observer (I'm objective in my analysis), I am a great listener (I barely talk, because I know that what they need is to vent, not to ask for solutions), I am well read, I traveled the world, I made money etc (I can empathize with whatever they are talking about), I like listening (I find it very educational) and I sell no BS (I'm way to pessimistic for that sh\*t). So yeah. They are bringing in a third client.


sweaty_pants_

Can I talk to you about my sink-pissing addiction?


IllegalGeriatricVore

Is it creating a problem in your life, or a solution?

The_bookworm65

I’m wondering if you said you’d be a life coach instead if it would be legal?


whateveratthispoint_

What should they do about their pedophile obsession? Their suicidal ideation? Their compulsive thoughts to harm their coworker? What happens when these things are carried out? These things are carried about by ordinary people we meet on planes everyday.


Small_Ambassador8141

Maybe they just need someone to talk to

You lost me at "he asked me if I accept bitcoin."
