A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am on my third therapist in 2 years. This psychologist seemed focused and just what I needed. After 3 sessions during 6 weeks, I don't think it is going to help.

Well that doesn't surprise me I think getting a degree as a social worker must really be a cake walk because I've had so many therapist that are just worthless it's like they expect you to hang on there every word and won't admit there own faults and it's like next and they see there 7-8 clients per day and this one therapist I had dressed like my neighbors 14 yr old daughter I mean I'd be like damn can your yoga pants be any tighter and you really don't look very professional am really piss at myself for even talking with this former therapist and to make things worse I tried to be friends with her on fb and she had security call me and cancelled me as her client if you ever want to feel bad anout yourself have a therapist canceled you as a client it's been a yr in a half since that happened and I'm still not coping with that trauma I never had that happen before and it really hurts
