Lee, I am in a system that does not allow me much access to therapy. Actually, I would be on an 8 month waiting-list to see a therapist. I got the most recent therapy from a student who is not a full-fledged therapist, yet. I thought it was going to be helpful, but last time I saw him, he more or less told me to go get a job. He told me that I may never get SSDI and "had I thought of that?" I think of it 100 times a day. I am twice the age of this student-therapist. I felt his remarks were well-meant, but insensitive. To be honest, I felt he had become condescending. I had felt that the best service he could render me would have been to hear my history and assess my problems with depression/anxiety and provide documentation that might help me, if I don't succeed in regaining and maintaining employment.

I am sorry to hear that your trust was betrayed. Going into therapy is not altogether as safe as the uninitiated might assume.
