Maybe she should put a little effort into getting you to come out of your shell a little. Maybe she could think of some activities to get you engaged and talking. She sounds like she’s just in it for the money and cares little about you. She should take a little pride in her job and work for her money. Or am I being too harsh?
Absolutely leave and find a different therapist. I had the exact same situation happen with me with my last therapist. He would cut the appointments down to 40 minutes every single session, literally looking at his watch. And I had plenty to talk about, he just was downright lazy. I asked the front desk what the time typically is and they said minimum 45 minutes to an hour. I was paying a $30 co-pay for each session
I finally talked to my pdoc about it and she strongly advised me to find another therapist. As she put it finding a therapist that you have a good relationship is absolutely key.

This is terrible!! The fact that she was only meeting for 25 minutes was terrible, and to learn that her reason is she doesn’t think you need the full time is even more terrible!
She’s getting paid by insurance for the full 45 minutes! Ask her if you can stay the full time!
That happens to me too. I get in there and want him to talk to me becaus half the time I’m to scared to talk or I think he will judge me or up my meds. It’s awful. It isn’t that I don’t want to talk I’m always scared there will be a consequence if I do.
It seems like there’s kind of a pattern between you and your therapists, case workers and psychiatrists. It kind of seems like you don’t trust any of them and that you may be reading something into their behavior that may not be there. Wasn’t that you about a year ago who complained about your therapist rubbing your back? It seems like there were a few other incidents too. Maybe I’m wrong.
