Dear Rose -- I too have had therapist who weren't good for me. In fact when I was at my worst -- in crisis mode -- a "therapist" actually sexually molested me!! He didn't rape me, but he molested me nonetheless!!
There are times when the therapist just isn't helping us, and we have to switch to someone else. There's nothing wrong with that. Make an appointment with another therapist, and CANCEL with your current one. You don't owe any explanations -- but if you WANT to tell him, just say that you're not making any progress and choose to go somewhere else. That's all -- period, end of discussion. You can CALL and tell the receptionist if that's easier for you. But don't continue with someone that's not helping you. I've done it before and was glad I did.
And of course, keep posting if that help, Rose. We'll be here. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
