My last therapist fell asleep on the very day that I had found the courage to talk about my son's shooting and assault. The one before that fell in love with me and it got very complicated so I left abruptly. I feel healthier and stronger when I am not in therapy and when I am going it alone. . .

Hi JacksonLiam,
It sounds as if you have been having a hard time and would like some help. But therapy has not done that for you. Do you have some other sources of support? Support groups, for instance, have been helpful to me. Also you might try posting in some of the other forums about what is concerning you and see if you find some of what you are looking for just from other PC members.
I eventually gave up on therapy, after many years of it. So I'm familiar with some of the concepts and find some things of value in them, even though there are lots of problems and, overall, from my experience therapy can do more harm than good sometimes. Perhaps lots, I don't know.
That said, then, I am concerned that you sound so alone. That doesn't seem like such a good thing, especially when you are going through a hard time. I sure don't have an answer for that, though.
