Eden, do you think you can ask to see someone else? Eg not connected so directly to your past? It sounds like asking a bit much of you to expect to carry on speaking and being honest with someone who has already broken your trust.
Is there a superior person to the psychologist? Someone in charge of him/her? You could ask them if there was someone else you could be designated. Or (I'm assuming your a little younger and your parents may have a bit more authority in terms of your treatment) say to your parents you don't feel you click and are finding it hard to speak to them because you are not on the same wavelength...etc a slight white lie but could help things change, I'm sure at the end of the day no matter how hard it can feel, that your parents do care about you and want to help and will help if they can see a reason for them to do something. Sometimes people just need instructions on how to help, they get a bit lost in not knowing what to do so guess things for themselves. If you tell them exactly what you want and need they can have a better idea about how they can help. Things normally need explaining but you only need to give them enough that they understand why they need to do anything if you don't feel able to tell them the full picture. Remember; to them your welfare is the most important thing in terms of looking out for you so make it clear why any help or changes you need will improve or help your welfare.
I was just wondering if there are any phone line services you can call to discuss what is going on with someone? Here in the UK for example we have Childline and the Samaritans or Mind line which are a fantastic group/s of people on the end of the phone that anyone can call and talk things through openly and that way you can get a better picture on what services are available to you and how you can go about changing your team if you want to, but you gotta act fast because things take time and I get the feeling from you that you don't have a lot of time to waste if your already feeling unsteady in yourself.
Please don't give up, please don't keep everything to yourself; there is so much help out there it's just about accessing it. Your past experiences are not the only experiences people have, there are good and bad professionals out there and it sounds like you have not met the more helpful ones yet.
