Tigergirl - I haven't experienced what you have in such extreme of not being listened to but I do have an inkling of the feelings you might have.

One of the things that propelled me to see a therapist was the need for someone to HEAR me and LISTEN. My T is very very very good at that. She talks very little and only when I ask a question or sometimes she will ask a question to help me get better in touch with my feelings.

It is soooooooo healing to be heard and I'm sorry you don't experience that much. I hope you feel heard a bit here on PC

Hugs
