Therapy has proved itself worse than useless to me time and time again. I've been forced into it on more than one occasion and it's never been at all helpful. The kinds of therapy I've had are DBT, CBT, and ACT. I have ASPD though so that's likely why therapy has never helped me.

Though I have heard that many people with BPD and/or NPD have a lot of difficulty finding a therapist who's willing to work with them... That's an unfortunate issue that's all too common. As far as ASPD though, it seems like the professional world at large just isn't interested in finding effective treatment for us.

I could write an endless diatribe about exactly what I think of therapy, but that's unnecessary. I will just say that I have a lot of contempt for therapists and for mental health professionals in general. My current pdoc is the only one I've been able to tolerate for long, I've been seeing her for over a year.
