I do like my therapist. I don't always like everything they tell me, though. Sometimes it's because they might tell me something I don't want to hear, other times I think they may genuinely have an opinion or something that I disagree with (not just something that's difficult to hear). It helps me to think of therapists as people first, and realize I won't get along with all of them, and that they're all going to have different strengths and weaknesses as therapists.

I did see a therapist when I was 16 that I did not particularly care for. I don't know if she really knew how to deal with my situation. She would accidentally say things that triggered my eating disorder in a not helpful way. She seemed frustrated that I didn't understand what was causing my eating disorder and seemed annoyed when I wasn't up for some of her techniques (like she wanted me to finish the sentence of a poem or something, and it made me anxious and I didn't want to do it). She also once told me I wasn't the only person that had problems (not sure what the point of that was?). She had to get surgery at one point and was going to be away for a bit and said it was a good time for me to see how I did without therapy. I hadn't made progress at all and she never checked in with me about how I felt I was doing. I just stopped going at that point and didn't see another therapist for about 15 years. She might have been just fine with other patients, but it was a poor fit for me. My current therapist is a better fit I think.
