Not sure if the title helps.
My bf has anger issues. And I’ve moved out so we can work on things. I’m just wondering if anyone here has any previous good or bad experience with these sites.
Anyone with opinions or even hearsay is welcome. Thanks!
Many "regular" therapists offer phone & video sessions nowadays, in my experience phone is just as effective as in-person.
Sadly, it’s gotten violent multiple times. I have left. But not emotionally. I don’t plan on living together for a long while. But since I do love him, I want to help encourage him to get help. Not ditch him and let his mental health problems get worse.
If you have not left him emotionally despite multiple violent episodes it might be worth it for you to do what you can to reconnect with your own emotions, while you are apart it can be easier to sort out what's without his darkness blotting out everything.
Trauma-bonding/codependence is a thing and maybe worth it to get a realistic view if your emotional compass is primed in way that you end in really difficult situations.
I speak from experience, it can quite literally be deadly. Phone/online can be great as it's easier to make notes and so you can work on stuff as opposed to an intensive chitchat in a cozy setting.
So you are seeing an online therapist? Is your boyfriend seeing a therapist as well? Does he recognize that his anger issues are a serious problem? Has he ever abused you? Are you aware that abuse is not just physical, but can be verbal, and sexual too?
Work on getting away from your stupid boyfriend, and understanding that he's a piece of garbage, and a waste of your time.
So she she just stay with someone who has anger issues, and might abuse her?
