I've mostly had either useless or harmful therapists, except for the one I see now and one other. It took me a long time to figure out for myself what to look for and expect. I think I've got that now with my current therapist, but I think it has a lot to do with my own clarity about what I need and finding someone I work well with, and where there's mutual respect.

In the past, I was led to believe I was the problem. The therapist I see now has helped me see where that's not true.

I feel badly for anyone who's been hurt by a therapist. It's devastating.
