I went twice to see a counselor. After spending months looking for someone who takes my insurance. I haven’t felt comfortable with her. It feels like she’s just rushing me and she ended the second session a few minutes early. I don’t feel like she’s really listening to me. She cancelled last week’s session and then she cancelled this week’s session.

I don’t want to go back. I know I need support. I need to talk through my issues. Or do something. I need to work on things. But this is typically my experience with counselors. I just don’t find that they are very helpful. I have ordered some books on boundaries. Those seem more helpful than a counselor.

Anybody else find counseling to be frustrating like this? Any suggestions? I thought about looking for a local support group but I’m not sure that would be a good idea either.
