Therapists are only human, and sometimes they are simply not equipped to handle certain patients which is a big reason they choose to stop seeing that patient. For all you know this therapist may have gotten into the field due to a close friend or family member that took their own life. It's not necessarily that you are bad as that this therapist most likely felt she/he could not help you. Perhaps the therapist even felt you depended to much on him/her too.

It's not always easy to sit and deal with different patients, some therapists actually experience burnouts and breakdowns themselves.
Thanks for this!
