I dislike my current therapist. On Mon morning, she criticized to my face the way I walk. I happen to have arthritis in my knees and everywhere (don’t know the diagnosis yet), so I hobble around a bit. The therapist has a talent for picking on my weaknesses and making me feel crummy. On a form re: case management she also indicated that I needed help and prompting re: my delusions. That really hurt. And so today, my internal critic, which had saved up her judgments, condemned me to the point of me curling into a fetal position on the couch, wishing the world and even myself away. I stayed like this for a few hours. When the sun went down, I finally deemed it safe to get up again. My “conscience,” when it beats up on me, is merciless. But the source for my self-reproaches is my bitchy therapist. I think I will call my health insurance people and ask about my options. I want to get clear away from where this person has her practice.
I’m sorry she is so cruel and I’m surprised someone that apathetic would go into the psychological field. Do you have the option of finding a new therapist? It sounds like you two might not be a good fit.
I know therapists can be lame. I know some “bad” ones. So sorries🤗
Gosh that sounds unprofessional I’m sorry to hear this.
My biggest peeve with therapists I know a taboo subject but will say when they “push their view on you” as if that’ll “heal you or guide you”. My brain needs logic and rationality
I was told by another counselor who works there that my therapist is judgmental with everybody, so it’s not just me or my imagination. She’s just not very compassionate. Plus, I learn more about sz on this forum than I have from her. Not to mention get more moral support – for which I thank all of you 
Wow, I’ve been self-reflecting whether I wanted to stay active on this site cuz I know I have “haters” and then I remember there are people I can connect with “listen to 2112”. Rush was told to change their material and the world would be so different but what did they do…you know what…fellow rush fan…they whipped out that album in less than a month. There are always people p, even professionals, who will tell you what you should do or be, but you have a voice that makes me think deeper into what songs I enjoy and why. So I’m glad you’re on sz site,too 
What nice things to say. Yes, Rush did their time in the gutter after Caress of Steel, gigging in biker bars and so on until the release of 2112. And I still listen to “Overture” and “The Temples of Syrinx” when I want my ears pinned back. I also like “Anthem” off of Fly by Night. I cried when I heard Chris Squire of Yes passed away a couple of years ago of leukemia. Also gone is John Wetton of the early 1970s King Crimson. Both of these guys were very nice people. Thanks again for your comments.
Np it’s nice to have a connection with someone
I’ve been having negative thoughts the last few days too and it’s all because of a dumb “friend” of mine who keeps asking to hang out with me even though we never really have a good time anymore. I keep the illness to myself so when I’m a bit slower during the day he’ll mock me. The worst is, he puts everything on social media, mostly snapchat and that pisses me off the most, because now everyone knows what’s going on. I just hate people talking behind me back or being two-faced like him.
Duplicity has a way of being caught out, too. My brother used to badmouth me to my sister and vice versa. And then sis and I would compare notes, making for a lot of hurt. I still distrust both of my siblings. If nothing positive to say, they should say nothing at all.
We can be so vulnerable to our therapists and if they aren’t well trained or if they aren’t nice people they can do more damage than good. Please make finding a new, trustworthy and qualified therapist a priority so that you can begin to heal and with any luck learn to trust your new therapist the way it should be. Good luck sweetie.
