I appreciate your perspective, Mastodon. I guess I should make I statements, so it's about me and not a generality.

I don't feel like my therapist cares.
I don't feel like my therapist is doing anything useful.
I actually feel that my therapist is doing harm by triggering a bunch of trauma and then sitting there like a stunned mullet.

I can't handle 50 minute increments of alleged caring at a rate I can't believe anyone charges for anything. Therapists overcharge hugely. Hugeeeelly. As far as I can tell, all they do is sit there and maintain boundaries. My cat can do that. And my cat doesn't care if you hug it. And my cat only costs the occasional vet bill and food costs.

My cat is awesome.
