As someone who's been through 6 therapists at this point, I'm finding them to be somewhat on the ineffectual side. That's not to say there isn't that one that doesn't work...somewhere. Nobody (not just therapists) seems to listen well though is the problem. Not even therapists really. Or, nobody cares too much either of course. It's about those few selfish needs being met with people. I haven't seen a legitimate act of help in a while.
