Hi,

I just wanted to say I stopped the relationship with the psychologist. I tried another time to talk with him about the problems and my feelings. He says it is better to work on thinking, and not talk about feelings. He is also angry with me because I can't afford certain aspects of medical care and medications, and says I am making "bad decisions" because I don't have enough money. This keeps coming up over and over. I keep feeling more and more like a bad person and this is hopeless. I don't want to keep going to therapy and feeling worse about myself every time, and going down and down and down into the pit with every visit. He knows things in therapy are scary/unsafe for me, in and out of session, and is very firm on wanting to continue his work in the same manner. I think I am the wrong person for this kind of therapy style. Maybe it is a good match for somebody else.

I feel extremely discouraged and low. It seems pretty hopeless here. I don't have any other ideas at the moment. Maybe it will be better later to have stopped and not be sort of exacerbating things further with this sort of situation. He didn't seem to have any thoughts one way or another about stopping the therapy relationship, or any referrals, or anything. He said he might have a response later, or he might not.

Thanks for listening.

Take care,
