I think of therapy like I think of any relationship - I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person.

That said, I have the right therapist for me. I kissed a lot of frogs before I found her. In fact, I just got diagnosed with ASD level 2 a couple hours ago at 56 years old. I've seen a LOT of crappy mental health professionals.


i agree....! and have all but became hopeless about Mental Health Community.

Oomph yes, many horrible experiences for me too. I had one therapist get angry with me because when I described my emotions she said I was a robot. Then she started to mock me. It hurt so much.
It is scary to open up to a therapist, and there are hurtful things that can happen. There are some good ones too. I have worked with some very helpful and supportive people through the years.
Just remember Jakki, these people work for you. If they aren't a good fit, you have every right to fire them. And if things get scary or you question things, well, you have us supporting you! :heart:

thank you very much Shellebelle ..... and for WP and its inhabitants aswell .
When you give someone the authority to interact with you on a personal level in can be very hard to figure out to seperate from them . But usually can sort therapists much better than i used too.
