Thanks. Yes, I think thereīs a bit of a "movement" against therapy as it is people who advocate for therapy and defend therapists' actions. I donīt mean only at PC but in many other places as well. But nowadays people are much more enlightened and they share their stories in a more effective way now than before the "internet era".
I agree it could be useful with a break from counselling but as I need to see a counselor to be able to get my sick leave and then my welfare, I canīt just stand without "treatment". I need to see someone, if itīs the woman Iīve now seen for a year or someone else, I must be registered in some way.

These are two things I would not like in a therapist (or anyone, for that matter) either. I can also say I would not tolerate someone never answering any question about themselves - it is totally unnatural, IMO abnormal for social interaction, unless the person is severely impaired.
Sounds like you are joining the "club" here on the forum of people who did not find therapy useful and/or found it harmful. I think it is a perfectly valid position and anyone should be free to express them views and experiences. I can't add much more than what I had already said several times on your threads: you have a conclusion, good time to move on and try other things for your mental health, self-improvement, whatever your interests are. I personally wouldn't even experiment with counselors for a while, they will likely be just another experience of sitting with another person, talking about your concerns, and maybe feeling dissatisfied with who they are and how they interact. Why not explore completely different things for a while and maybe come back to counseling a bit later?
