When things ended badly with my first therapist a decade ago, she told me no other therapist would be willing to put up with me. It wasn't as painful as what you're going through because I wasn't attached to her, but I definitely believed it for a long time.

Thanks LabRat, my appointment is Monday at 3pm Eastern.
What your first T said to you was unconscionable -- clearly it would discourage a person from seeking therapy afterward, and that's awful, particularly if things haven't gone well. It strikes a chord with me because it kind of feels like my ex T implied the same thing -- which logically he did not, but emotionally it feels that way. That I'm so difficult he eventually just couldn't stand me anymore, and given that I thought very highly of him, if
he couldn't, then who could?
On the "silver lining" side, the fact that your first T would
ever say this to any client pretty much proves the issue was with her and not you.
