Therapy sucks

[xiodenn]

What a disappointment I experienced today sharing my thoughts with a therapist. I am just tired of putting my hope in getting treated by “specialists”, and then just get superficial comments. I hate that there are a lot of people charging patients for opinions we could get at a public space talking to anybody who doesn’t care and would not get paid for it. I really think there have to be real professionals who put effort into studying, making research, and working hard until they have the ability to connect with people who are suffering for real of mental issues. This is just another example of how not having economic resources binds people like me with mediocre services... so disappointing!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience xiodenn with your therapist. I had a few over the years till I found 1 or 2 that clicked. It's just the luck of the draw really, and unfortunately it can be an expensive one. I wouldn't give up though...sounds like you just didn't have a good fit....been there.

I too have had some sessions that I didn't really like. I did a lot of group therapy and it was a lot more effective for most things. Some of my past trauma was better addressed one on one. I never thought I could be in a group setting, but it ended up to be an added resolution of another need.

You just haven't found the right therapist, one who you click with, don't let this bad experience stop you from trying another one
