Fireing this therapist

[ILoveLife]

He does have good qualities as a professional of cognitive behavioural therapy, but I've been in denial about a bunch of stuff that because of his absence during vacation I was able to see more clearly.

He made a sexual remark, doesn't like to pathologize my pathologies, didn't really help me when I was having suicidal ideation, lied about qualifications that he doesn't have while performing IFS, made me explain in detail why I think I'm bisexual, and a bunch of other stuff.

I have an appointment schedulled in a week and a half and will tell him I'm done.
Don't want to be confrontational as I hate conflict, but I'm angry and need to be assertive.

Already have another T who I talked to that said she's available to meet me, she specializes in dissociative disorders which is my pressing issue right now.

I'm releived. Thank you to all of those who implied he is incompetent and I'm sorry I didn't listen at first.

No need to apologize for not taking in earlier advice! Sometimes we just need to learn theses things for ourselves and go at our own pace. :hug:
