I know I shouldn't react this way but I laughed when I read this. It's horrible but all I could think was "good for you." I apologize to therapists everywhere for thinking that but really, who hasn't wanted to punch a therapist in the face?

So that amusement aside, I do hope you'll give therapy another chance (though I'd recommend finding a new T). Therapists can have personality issues too and it sounds like your most recent one suffered from being an %#@&#!.

Also, you said you think being in a relationship would help solve your problems. In my experience, this is NEVER true. Other people can't fix you. You have to get your own house in order as nobody else is going to clean it for you (sorry, I desperately need to clean my house so I'm drawn to the metaphor).
