I’ve been very disappointed in therapy and therapists. I did think that therapists were kind and caring, or why would they be doing that job. However, I do know that some therapists are genuinely kind and caring towards all their patients, not only those they find “easy” and “quick” to help. (And to make “significant change” as defined by the therapist to the therapist’s schedule and time scale.) I haven’t found those good therapists though. (Sigh)

I hope you don’t give up looking for a competent, kind and caring therapist, they are out there somewhere..

I think maybe an older, female therapist may be more helpful, for me anyway or an experienced, older male therapist. I have read Peter Lomas “The limits of interpretation”. I recommend this book, also anything by Yalom. These two were (are) honest, caring, excellent therapists. In my opinion.
