What do you think of a therapist who refused to support his patient of two years to get at least some of her college without further discussing the extremely distressing issues that cause her depression until later -- since she is unable at this moment to handle that kind of stress and school. (I even lost admission at the university due to withdrawal of last semester.) While under his "care" I withdrawed from three full time semesters, attempted suicide twice, and cut myself because the sessions were too hurtful and I was unable to handle them. He said that I experienced dissociation, depersonalization, and PTSD. Is not that enough for him to understand that he needs to support me temporarily to get at least some of my schooling and get to the issues later and very - very slooowly? Am I been unreasonable or he is simply heartless? He gave me a choice: "get a regular medical doctor, get on meds, discuss these issues with me OR I cannot help you. Quit the sessions." What does he have a heart of stone or something? He knows how important college is for me, and he sees how debilitating to the continuation of my classes the therapy has been. He also knows that I have no other support and I cannot be left alone at this moment. Nevertheless, he did leave me alone. This past week was the last session. He does not have a heart or soul!
