Hi Darkeyes
..... Sounds like you had a few bad experiences with Ts. I am sorry that you also experienced "quacks".. It is a shame they get away with it... Do they know they are messing with "real people's" lives? Do they even care?
At the time, church was safety for me, so that is why I went to him in the first place. Boy was I wrong about having a pastoral counselor. Having a preacher and counselor in one package, how could I go wrong! "bangs head on soft pillow"... Think the preachers should stick to preaching and keep their noses out of being counselors. I, as usual, trusted when I should have been careful.....
Oh, I do know there are great Ts and counselors. I just don't think I could ever go to another T, even if he was the most qualified, popular, or even free.. . I am the kind of person that never asks for help. This is the first time in my life I reached out because I was sinking and I had a lot to lose if I didn't get my act together. What a smack in the face... Anyway, I do "surfen mental health-therapy"" lol.... When I have an issue I just search for the answers online.. Has worked so far...

.......I prob still have issues I am not dealing with, but I think in time, things will work out......
