I left the first and only group therapy that I did, because of the therapist. (I later did a peer support group, which was incredibly helpful). I did go in and talk to her about what was bothering me about how she was running the group (encouraged to do so by my individual therapist, who had nothing to do with the group therapist). I left after only a few minutes as I recall the group therapist telling me that I was the problem and I didn't feel heard by her. This was a long time ago, but I remember discussing with my individual therapist that the group wasn't right for me at that time. Long time later, I wondered if I could have made some more progress if I'd stuck it out, but I am sure that it wasn't right for me-- whether it was the therapist's issue, my issue, or some combination.

In my experience, some things can't be resolved and just walking away is the better course. Other times, I have been able to resolve things with a therapist and am glad I did. This is similar to how other interpersonal things have gone at work or in relationships-- sometimes you can resolve things and it's worth the effort, sometimes it's not. What I would give for a crystal ball that tells me the right direction to go . . . .
