I met with one therapist before finding my T who was really incompetent, it seemed. First she was 30 minutes late for my appointment (and I could hear her chat to colleagues during that time, she wasn't seeing anyone). The first session was fine apart from that, however, in the second session she asked me why I had not followed through with what she advised me to: she wanted me to find an apartment through some agency that offers student housing. I had not done so yet because I had to talk to my mom first. The T then went on about how I could talk to my mom for almost all of the session.

Issue was that she didn't believe me whenever I said 'if I say X mom will say Y' and that it won't work like that. She said I needed to 'believe in myself more' and to just say what she recommends. If anyone wonders, I tried, and my mom responded exactly as I told the therapist she would.

Then, at the end of the session she said 'you seem to really be doing better' while I was actually suicidal (though she didn't know this, but it's a bit of a stupid thing to say). She then took the freedom to reduce the amounts of sessions to once every two weeks and told me that I'll need to laugh less and show certain fears I was talking about more next time. She seemed to not be able to understand that some people take more than one session to open up about their deepest fears, as well as the fact that some people use laughing as a coping mechanism while stressed.... didn't go back after that, didn't bother to tell her I wouldn't come either.
