My last therapist terminated therapy with me because she said she "lacked the emotional resources" to continue. She had agreed, of course, to start therapy with me 6 years earlier and when I had asked then what she thought my major problems where she said that I was "narcissistically wounded and fragmented." She had a Ph.D. in psychology, post-doc training in trauma and dissociation, and I believe I had good reason to expect that she could see the therapy through. But she could not. I see that as lack of competence -- not sure that she or her licensing board would, though, because from the standpoint of training she was as "competent" as one could expect in that profession at the current time. As for the matter of not being a good "fit"? Decided by her after 6 years? Well, that wasn't asked in the topic of this thread, but seems like there's a little incompetence there, in her self-knowledge, or "work on herself", or . . .once, again, back to what the profession accepts as OK.

Consequently, I consider that the therapy was ended because the profession is incompetent to treat me. I did not go to the other therapist my last T referred me to. She abided by the letter of the ethics guidelines in doing that of course, she called around until she found someone who said they were willing to take me on. I had been to lots of therapists before the last one, and was not willing to take that kind of "referral" at that point. Although I've tried a couple of therapists since then for various "on the surface" things, I think it's very unlikely that anybody in the profession really knows much what to do about any of the deep stuff. What a disappointment! From my perspective, what a lifelong, almost, scam.
