I've posted a few threads before about whether or not the T I had seen a few times was an asshole or not, and since I didn't really know him well enough to allow myself to make any final judgments about him, I wasn't really sure what to think. Though he did say something (a couple of times, actually, so it's not just me mishearing or misunderstand what was said) that just really made me question his qualifications as a therapist -- or rather, question how much experience he's had with people who SI (I imagine it's not a lot).
I shall recap.
My first session ever in my life, and I had never really talked much about my SI, so yes, I was extremely nervous. And yes, I had cut the night before due to said nervousness. When I told him this, he said to me (not verbatim, but basic jist) "If the thought of coming in here makes you want to cut, then it's better if you don't come in at all".

Why do we have you as our campus counselor again?
Am I justified in thinking that he does not have much experience with this kind of thing?

PLUS. I've talked to quite a few people on campus who have talked with this guy, and apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks he's an arrogant insensitive asshole. And this is coming from people who have had a lot of experience with T's, so I'm taking their word for it.

I don't have any insurance (expired last may)--we had to pay a fee of almost $500 out of pocket to cover insurance (my family and I are poor enough this year already--had to dish out another $1300 out of pocket to cover surprise tuition fees) so I could continue attending the school. But there are limits to this insurance; it only covers so-and-so amounts of T visits, certain types of physical examinations/tests, etc. And quite frankly, I'm wondering if I should use the health insurance for a psych evaluation or save it for some day when I might snap and will need a trip to the emergency room... That wasn't a threat or anything, but the thought of completely snapping has certainly crossed my mind several times; I wouldn't say it's not a possibility in this lifetime. But people shouldn't have to choose between physical health and mental health, and it's quite sad I have to make such a choice. But anywho. Aside from the douchebaggy T, I don't know what other options I have right now.
What do you guys think, as far as counselor's go? Advice would be much appreciated.
