Not currently. I haven't been in therapy for over a decade now. Occasionally I get a long appointment and speak with my GP, but he's not trained for that so it's much more casual discussion than therapy.
I didn't find that any of the therapists I went to helped a whole lot, unfortunately. While the one I described in my post made me feel uncomfortable, I had a far worse experience with a different one I went to. The results of that one cost me an art scholarship and derailed my career plans - something I'm still trying to piece back together. I briefly tried going to two others after that, but neither clicked with me at all. I have trust issues which leads to a bad habit of creating a persona, rather than showing up as myself. Not that I know who "myself" would really be.
