A short YouTube monologue (by Anwar White) addressing whether therapists make good dating partners. The speaker argues many therapists intellectualize emotions, struggle to share feelings, and focus on clients’ problems rather than their own, which can make deep emotional connection difficult. The tone is candid and opinionated.
Olu said. Is a therapist a good profession to date?
No shade, but a lot of therapists are really, really messed up. The thing about a therapist is that one of the things that I've realized is that therapists actually intellectualize a lot of things and aren't oftentimes aren't able to share their feelings feelings, they're able to share their thoughts. So sometimes it can be really hard to deeply emotionally connect with a therapist. Again, not all, but some. And just think about it. Some of some people in the in the audience are getting a little butt hurt because I'm speaking on that. But.
They'Re all day, every day. They're used to trying to focus on you and what your problems are and how to solve them. And if they're so busy doing that for other people, they're probably not doing it for themselves.
Some of them are. I would say most of them aren't.
