Listen, I said that there are ****** therapists. But who on earth is going to protect you if you can't / won't / don't protect yourself? I mean, in simple terms of practicality nobody can.
A bad therapist is a terrible thing, but if clients keep paying them, then bad therapists stay in business. So what do you seriously, practically suggest can be done, if the client is not responsible?
Being overly attached to a bad therapist is about the closest real life thing I can imagine to the proverbial cage with an open door that a prisoner simply refuses to walk out of.
The problem is, how do you help someone who won't take the available exit?

LOL. I never said anything like that at all, but thanks for the attempt at understanding.
I didn't think I had a bad therapist. Most people don't until it is over. It IS on the therapist to be halfway decent and if they don't feel they can help the client then they need to tell them to move on and find someone else. You keep saying BAD therapist over and over. What is a bad therapist anyway?
The closest therapist of any kind to me is an hour away. I am not wasting time and money going any further than that for useless psychobabble. It's ALL bad. LOL.
