One of my most San Francisco experiences, about a month after moving here:
I used an app to find a therapist after experiencing some gnarly trauma. Twenty minutes into the consult session, the therapist asks me if I'd be interested in trying an "experimental treatment proven to help process traumas." She pulled a device out of her desk drawer, and it looked kind of like a beanie hat made from electrical wires.
So, that's how I found out she was using the therapy matching app to find volunteers for her research. The literature she showed me was all related to TDCS (hadn't heard about TDCS previously).
I left pretty quickly, before the session ended, which I remember because my car was TOWED.
- etrautmann 3y agoSeems like a Silicon Valley plot line
- im_down_w_otp 3y agoI’ve never successfully made it through a full episode of either Portlandia or Silicon Valley because they’re both just too real for me not in a good way.
- nico 3y agoI love the SV series, watched it twice end to end And you are 100% right, pretty much everything in it is very real, portrayed in a cartoonish way, but so real I’ve met real life versions of almost all the characters in it and even have attended a birthday party in Alcatraz (it was actually a ton of fun, although definitely weird and eerie too) Hopefully you get to someday laugh at all this stuff
- joshu 3y agoi struggle with the episodes and i was a consultant on the show. very traumatizing.
- nico 3y agoSo interesting. How was it working on the show? What makes the episodes so hard to watch?
