I've been on the end of poor therapeutic care and it does leave a bad taste in your mouth. I can commiserate.

A friend told me, 20% of therapists are excellent, 60% ok, and 20% not good at all. Keep looking and keep trying to find someone who clicks with you and can genuinely help, not judge.

There are online support groups you can connect to here:

HeyPeers - Where Peers and Support Groups Connect

and

DBSA - Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance

Also, I don't know whether you would consider yourself 'codependent' but there is CoDA Codependents Anonymous and there are online meetings, as well.
Thanks. She was inexperienced. Thanks for sharing those links. I’ll bookmark them.
