I think therapist who don't have a supervisor or take good personal care of themselves can get overwhelmed and pass someone off to group therapy and not necessarily because group therapy is best, but because they can share the responsibility with other therapists. I think most therapists hide the fact that they are not experienced or capable of handling certain disorders or diagnoses and do not refer their client to a more experienced therapist. That has been my experience. But I could tell by asking the therapist what HE was feeling, so I jumped ship to an older, wiser more experienced therapist.
