“More people complained about her, and she was let go.”
Therapy can be an incredible, eye-opening tool for so many people.
But sometimes, you might land on a therapist who doesn’t quite match what you’re looking for.
Here’s what they had to say.
Note: This post contains mentions of sexual assault, domestic violence, and pregnancy loss.
Then we talked about my family, and I told her I was the youngest child.
Without hesitation, she said, ‘Is that why you throw fits to get what you want?’
She didn’t know what my boyfriend and I were fighting about.
Life is much better."

And then she told me to accept God’s will that my mom was dying."
She rolled her eyes and told me to ‘Just go out and get on apps.
Do something about it.’
It made me feel like she was annoyed with me and killed any comfort I felt with her."

“First time seeing one.
I had never opened up before and decided to give her a fair chance.
I answered all her questions and told her what had happened to me as a child.
Her answer to my trauma was, ‘Why aren’t you over that yet?
Other people had it worse than you, and they’re over it.’
I never went back to see her.
I got another one in the building, and I told him how his coworker had treated me.
He was not happy to hear that.
When I asked about the other one a few months later, she didn’t work there anymore.
“‘Everyone has friends, why don’t you?’

“I have struggled with anxiety my whole life, so therapy has been nothing new.
Not the best method, but I ghosted her after that one.”
This was after she told me I only think I’mbisexualbecause I’m influenced by the media.
I should have been more keen on that red flag.”

My therapist asked if I had ever thought about talking to my significant other about my feelings.”

“I was in a relationship and having so much anxiety about it.
So, I sought counseling because he was a nice guy.
I didnt want to break it off, but I also had SO MUCH anxiety.
She said, ‘Oh, you should just marry him anyway.’
That wasnt helpful, and no, I didnt marry him, thankfully.
Anxiety blinded me to some red flags.
Im happily married to someone else now and had no anxiety dating him.”
“90% of what she said was the same question: ‘How does that make you feel?’
It was like she was a parrot, and it was the only thing she knew how to say.
Then she switched to, ‘You have to have faith in God that things will work out.’
I am not religious at all.
I told her more than once that I wasnt comfortable with that expression, and she just didnt stop.
She really annoyed me.”

Never went back to her."
“In college, I was severely depressed and had just been broken up with.
My first therapist suggested we have our session in a park.
He told me he had feelings for me.
Fast forward many years, and the guy is still practicing.”

“In my 20s, I went to a male psychiatrist for crippling social anxiety.
He said, ‘You’re so pretty, though, you shouldn’t be feeling this way!’
Yeah, never saw him again.”
I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing.
Jesus can’t fix this one, buddy.
We should probably have called the police."

“I went to see a therapist I had liked since I was a teen.
“I was seeing a psychiatrist for medicated management of ADHD.
During that period, I was assaulted while walking home.
Then she basically piled on about how dumb I was and how I was partly to blame.
So I left and didn’t come back.”
