I don't know you, so I have no idea whether you might be someone who would not be helped by therapy. I know such people exist because I'm married to one :-). But it took YEARS of effort with multiple therapists before one finally got to that bottom line with him. He's genuinely not able to utilize therapy tools for positive change. For him, it is indeed a matter of excellent medication management and a little bit of supportive therapy with his psychiatrist.

I can't imagine anyone coming to that conclusion about a client in five sessions, though. So I'm adding my voice to those who are saying that it sounds like it's far more about that therapist and her limitations than it is about you. All t's are not created equal! If you feel up to trying again with another therapist, maybe one with a different kind of training and philosophy, then I'd so go for it.
Thanks for this!
