Agreed, I feel like I gotta "make things right for myself," all because of something I had no control of back in the past. I finished with therapy Feb 2014 and was glad! I have seen a high school counselor, college counselor, and a therapist (from the State didn't have to pay for it). High school and counselor a disaster nothing got done really. This recent now ex therapist I had, it started out good then it dissolved later on. This woman thinks she knows everything because she is a therapist and clearly has parental and marital arrogance to boot!
Inexperienced, knew nothing about life (wasn't that much older than me yet she is married with kids), etc. Nothing in there but arguing, it got to a yelling match last summer because she is always saying off the wall crap that doesn't make sense and expects me to believe it because she is a mom as it fits her ideologies!! I was so irate that I didn't sleep for 2.5 days yet my social worker told me to keep her because she is the one who has history with me on my issues. At the end of the sessions, ex therapist said it's been a pleasure. Really? You were the one saying I was a lost cause!
I find most of the mental health professionals (MHPs) to be totally useless and ridiculous filled with dogma. There were things that were touched on that made sense, a lot didn't make any sense not with that therapist! Therapy is suppose to help and be understood not sitting there having fights with your MHP because what you say doesn't fit their ideologies! Told my ex therapist wonder why people stop going to therapy and don't pay attention to what some MHP expert says on TV can't get their own issues figured out - she didn't like that!
I wouldn't go back to therapy again, why keep reopening those old wounds? Nobody wants to hear a dark story anyway, just the fictional white picket fence!

I learned that the hard way. I put *complete* trust in the past therapists I had. Last one was a complete mistake....should've left the moment I saw she was ignoring my voice. Lesson learned. Treatment doesn't necessarily have to be a lost cause though. Shop around until you find the one you feel most comfortable with & allows your needs to be met. That's the point of being there anyway.
