And I realized as well that my last therapist really has not helped me to grow or to overcome any of my issues. I saw her for 2-3 years, and I don't feel like I got anything out of it. She never told me what I do well, she never reflected back to me any progress I've made, she never validated my feelings about work, and she only pointed out to me what I do wrong or where I went wrong.

She never even told me that I have co-dependent tendencies.... I had to figure that out for myself through this forum!

She was and is a bad therapist! I think she caused more harm than good.

Why are there so many bad therapists out there???? I've had many throughout my entire life, and I can think of maybe 2 that were good out of 10-12.

It's maddening.
