I too had a not so stellar therapy experience. I felt that I invested so much of myself and didn't get anywhere with it (admitted I didn't give it a fair go...only about 6 months or so). I told her that I would not be back and didn't expand on that statement. I got about the same response you did.
I suppose I wanted what she didn't have to give. Whatever the reason, I was more hurt about the lack of care than I was about missing anything I could/would have learned.
I hope that, given some time, you can separate the feelings so that they're not one big lump of mess 
I'm glad you have the kids to help you get through this. Keep posting. |
You are so right. I'm more floored at the response she gave after 4 plus years than what I've accomplished or not accomplished in therapy. Initially I attended for a certain reasons and in turn I'm leaving with the same issues I came in with plus now dealing with loss of my therapist. Before attending therapy I dealt with things differently and learned how to bottle things up well. I'm not sure how well but it was something I could cope with more. Lately I was working on learning how to release that and express myself. I was recently telling her about it but instead it seemed like she just didn't care. I felt like just another body. I told her that Olay times I felt likens was talking to a wall and she found that insulting .i explained that it wasn't meant as an insult and that didn't matter. Anyway for whatever reason it was as she just gave up on me and didn't want to deal with me. I feel like I'm dealing now with the rejection of a therapist on top of everything else. My life is worse now than 4 years ago go figure.
