    After having time to process it this is how I am feeling! I feel like she doesn't care one little bit about me :( Even if something came up last minute she left it till the very end of our session to tell me I feel so hurt, she knows I have abandonment issues and think that she is going to...

    Does The Age And Qualification Of Your Therapist/counsellor Really Matter?

    Fair call. See how she is after not seeing her for a month. If you are still not feeling it with her then best to move on to another T. Did you get to chose who you wanted to go to or was she chosen for you? It is hard to know what any T is going to be like. Sometimes it is trial and error to...

There is however no shame in taking medication for depression and if it helps then that has to be a...
