Venting Worst therapy session

[futurebuscatcher]

I go to a therapist for the first time in forever and it was horrible. We didn't even get to talk. She talked at me. I literally was not able to dicuss my issues.

I have told her I always felt depressed and wanted to kill myself ever since I was a kid and she asked "so how recent were these thoughts." She then just said "make a safety plan and use coping mechanisms." Like wow no shit why didn't I think of that.

when I told her I couldn't get out of bed she told me I should work out. I literally couldn't move.

I didn't get to speak about a damn thing. It was a lecture. I could only say I've been feeling worse and can't get out of bed and all she did was ask yes and no questions until time was up.

I'm so fucking pissed. Who the fuck allowed her to be a therapist? I waited months and wanted to talk aboyt soke feelings I was having and dicuss my friends and all and I got nothing. I wanted another perspective on my friend group issues before I reached out to them and didn't get it. Fuck her.

A therapist that doesn't let you talk. Nice. They all do that 'safety plan' crap though.

That's disgusting. I hope you sacked her on the spot and told her why.

I can be a therapist. It all comes down to:
1. make a safety plan
2. take some meds
3. find distraction
Whole mental health business is a joke!

Being honest, I've found more therapy just hanging out on this group with folk who get where I'm at even without any explanations.

Yeah, exactly. Therapy can never be useful to me since they're all pro lifers that have their innate assumptions about life being valuable no matter what but talking to the few people on this site who understand me partially has actually been therapeutic

Sorry you went through this! Some therapists need to learn to listen I swear.

I had similiar assesment with someone, who I could not get a word in with. They suggested I was austisic with daddy issues without me saying what I was even coming in for lol.

Try another therapist there are good ones out there. Good luck!
