Hi allme! I'm so glad you understand too...I was in therapy but I didn't like my therapist so I stopped going...I felt like she was too brusque with me. I would feel kind of throttled by her. I have this very cautious and polite sort of personality and she was very talkative and outgoing to the point of being kind of brazen. She would talk about her New Age beliefs and even though I'm kind of into that stuff too, I felt like she was just using our sessions as an excuse to ego-trip, without concern for my feelings. I told her I was concerned once that I was weak and she was like "I don't think you're weak but I think you are brittle." I was very offended and hurt by this so I basically just stopped going. I feel very wounded actually by my experiences with my therapists so I decided to just go it alone.

I'm so glad I found this forum. I often wish I had someone to talk to but I think it will be a while before I do therapy again, if ever...
