Therapists - What has been your therapist experience?

[Mach123]

Everything led me to my current therapist. I had to have someone I could tell. Everything. I can't conceive there could have been any other way. I was so guarded and afraid that I'd tell her a little, then I'd back away. She calls this the anemone effect and it went on for years. Plus I was abusive with her.

I really admire and somewhat love her. Because she sat with me and went through that. So much darkness. I wonder sometimes how she could possibly do that over and over with her clients because shes a specialist in CSA . How could anyone do that?

But she did it with me, still is. I know she helped a lot of people. I don't think I agree with her about everything therapeutic, I don't agree with her about a lot of things. She has been there for me though.

@jenkins yes you're exactly right. This one did not really have 'people skills'. She would come in every session looking like she couldn't be bothered with me. She even said some things that made me feel so downright humiliated. I am planning to eventually go above her as she is now refusing me further therapy.

I am seeing a charity for help instead currently though and they are great.
