She harped on involuntary commitment for a good 20 minutes out of a 30 minute session (I left early). She was very contradictory in what she said from moment to moment. She also said I will never find an inpatient treatment center that will not force meds onto me. She made me feel totally hopeless and broken... I'm glad I still have my regular T...

I went through a few therapist before I found one that fit. This doesn't mean the prior therapist were bad, it just means that they weren't good for what I need in a therapist. One of my therapist thought it would be a good idea if I took a plastic bat and hit a blow up punching bag during session in her office. Even after I explained that I was capable of becoming very rage-full and I could not be certain that I could control the level of rage that could be brought out by hitting something with a bat. She gave no consideration to what I told her. I went home that night and began to look for another therapist. One that listened to what I was saying and I am still with her now.
The right therapist is out there, you just have to keep looking until it feels right. Good luck.
