I'm not sure about "my" clinic's type therapy these days. But when I was signed up for it (kinda), there were demands. Like I wanted help with really severe depression (and anxiety). They told me they can't help me if I don't get more motivated. I told them I'm way too depressed to even start to begin to want to get better. They would need to help me start somewhere. But they refused. They told me if I deserved be in therapy I had to first fix my depression and a few other problems.
Yea..... it was THAT dumb. It seemed that that clinic only had 2 types of patients, psychotic patients who had to come pick up their daily or weekly meds, and people who had no mental illness but wanted to be in therapy as self improvement.
I hope they changed their ways. That stuff was terrible.
