I think this is the biggest red flag @123Luke123. Each time I have had counselling, the clear objective at the start has been to get to the stage where I no longer require therapy. My last and most successful counsellor said that the aim was for me to become my own therapist.

I really feel for you. I think, as others have said, your therapist is abusing you. It’s wrong.

Do you have other health care professionals that you could seek advice from, your Doctor perhaps?
