Last time I saw my counselor, she's not a therapist, I noticed she answered to everything I tell her in general terms. As an example I told her I feel it's not that easy to share things and she just answers "no, it's not easy". She never asked me something in relations to what I told her but either she just shortly confirmed what I said or mostly she kept talking about counselling in general.

She didn't listen to me properly but just rambled about and started new subjects to talk about. I told her about suicide thoughts and that I had had several very difficult nights when I felt anxious. She didn't follow up on that.

How is it possible to be so nonchalant and non-caring? I'm going to tell her next time that I didn't feel any empathy from her but my gut feeling tells me she won't take into account what I tell her.

(This isn't about switching therapists as I have no other options but to see her or quit altogether)
