Can I ask what sort of issues you have and what made you start and think that therapy would not help you?
I seem to have major issues with attachment rejection and abandonment (plus more recent traumas and losses). The reason I question whether therapy can help me is that my ex T was very adept at bringing out these terrible needs and deficits, but once exposed she did not know what to do and ended up pushing me out the door. This left me profoundly disillusioned and devastated.

Trying to find a new T after that, given that the immediate issue was now harm from prior therapy, became something of a nightmare.

At this point it is unclear to what extent therapy merely uncovered these issues, versus actually inducing them.

What are the issues you need help with?
