Second, unless you have a condition that warrants "attack therapy," she shouldn't be trying to "break you" (like they do in the military). Third, that therapist is no good; find another one.

In the meantime, this might help you feel validated and understood a little more. Author Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson penned a book called Against Therapy: Emotional Tyranny and the Myth of Psychological Healing. It might be worth checking out.

I still have yet to purchase the book and read it. I was going to, but then I found a really good therapist. I really lucked out. I haven't lost hope in therapists, but it was a battle for the past 2.5 decades (or 25 years)!

Hang in there.

Oh, and thanks for the complement on this thread. I try. I think I and my alters get ourselves in trouble sometimes for speaking our minds. We really have trouble following certain rules. We're trying, but we're kind of raw and angry at the moment - that is, pandemic trauma angry.


I'm sorry about the late response (thoughts, feelings of worthlessness, depression) all really difficult this time of year- I'm spending christmas alone, so it's extra hard... I don't have a family. how many people can actually say that. that they don't have a family that wants you

anyway thanks for the reply and I will check out that book.
validation is such an important word isn't it in mental health care and treatment, but I'm starting to wonder if validation is.. well, beyond my reach

10 therapists later and I'm still ****ing suffering. now worse than ever.

no family, no friends.. I might see if the wall wants to talk about it
