When I was in intensive outpatient therapy I left sessions a few times. One therapist would sometimes give us word searches to do instead of doing a session about anything. They bored me and I got nothing out of those sessions. I would have been okay if we were having random discussions about anything at all but everyone was silent and it was a waste of time so I started leaving when she passed out the puzzles. At least crossword puzzles could have challenged me but word searches? Nope.
I think I walked out of inpatient group therapy a time or two. I can't remember the specifics but the discussion was pointless and again a waste of time.
Nobody ever cared or even asked why I was leaving.
