1) Saw a psychologist last Friday. Although I imagine very few of those who I talked to are involved in hte mental healt hfield you said a very similar thing to what the psychologist said. The things included
1) Get out of house ASAP
2) recommended living with relative
3) said mother was abusive
4) gave various techniques for ignoring verbal assaults
5) Recommended my dad get a divorce >.>
In any case, the lady was really nice. Said that if I needed anything to call. Told me not to get too down. Talked about how my grades are really pretty good, and about how she didn't do that well in highschool, but now has a phd etc tec.
Mom was mad that I went, but so be it.
Ladder: I've played ~15 games this weekend, because we're at progress report --> nothing is being done. First 4 went ok. Then went on massive losing streak, then have won 5 in a row :DD So went from #10- #7 in diamond division.
I have learned
1) I hate colossi
2) I can't multitask for shit
3) I'm pretty decent at tank viking play if I'm patient.
4) Mass bio in tvt is super fun, and super fickle.
5) Thors rape everything.
In any case, I'm getting closer to masters. I'm trying to improve mechanics but it's coming slowly. Any advice on "forcing" myself to improve my currently horrid mechanics and APM? I have 50 APM, in high diamond >.> Thanks a lot :DD

What the fuck? She said this on your first meeting? Let's dwelve a bit further: what kind of clinical therapy was she doing?
I used to see therapists, but then we ended up talking about them instead of me.
Saw psychologists and it came down to discussion of techniques and definitions of mental disorders and classification/distinction.
I think when I finally turned 16, I just stopped bothering.
Oh shit, I just hit 1800 posts lolololol

How is it surprising that she said those things? Its sound advice given past blogs, it probably took the woman all of 45 seconds to realize he needs to be away from that environment. Things seem to be on the up and up for you overall Froadac so its good to hear!
tvt can be pretty fun, its a good way to learn multitasking skills when you end up in those viking/tank midgames.

I never said it was surprising that she would say those things.
I said it'd be surprising if she said those things on the first day/meet of a typical session (one hour/2?). From my experience, the first meeting is general inquiries, information, how you feel, think and talk: react, respond and what you want to get out of these meetings.
I just feel one session isn't enough to assess a situation to give proper advice that is worth he's paying (or they're paying). This sounds like something a friend would say without considering the possibility that his own thoughts may be at fault or may play a role in how some of these problems occur or are construed.
That's what I'm saying.
Then again, we don't know if this is the first meeting at the first read. Hence my inquiry.

i believe there are borderline cases which a psychologist would not be comfortable making that judgment call till later, and then there are really fucking obvious cases that are black and white.
the psychologist probably felt it was the latter and saw need for haste rather than slow consideration.

This is also what I was referring to, hence the hyperbole about it being obvious to a professional in under a minute. We are on the same page. If it was presented to her as it was to us, that reaction is by far the most likely.

Good going getting counselling, so many people just dont think to or go to their local Scientologist or something.
Hope you work it out! (Ladder too!)

Concerning the APM - one thing that I found that hugely increased my apm is the Multitask Trainer. If you can actually stick to it and not get frustrated, it is hugely helpful, both apm and obviously multitask wise. It's a custom Map btw, you can search for it in the custom game section. gl!

Oh. Needs to be said my dad went in to her for 2 sessions before, and I talked to her for a double session (over an hour and a half). My dad isn't real happy with her either, so that helped resolve one piece of the puzzle >.>
