My therapist all she does is ask me to say a report of what I did each day for the last two weeks. So boring. She’s not helpful either with anything. It just is a waste of my time. And it puts me in a sour mood.
And she has no experience with schiz patients. She pressures me to do things that her more well patients are able to do.
My first therapist was a butthole. My second was amazing, like absolutely incredible. I had a rough patch of about three or four therapists who were awful, found a great therapist but lost my insurance coverage and couldn’t stay with her when I got back on medicaid.
My current therapist is every bit as good as my second therapist. She’s really helped me a lot this past year.
I had a wonderful therapist for a while. It was through a clinic that specifically worked with schizophrenia spectrum patients. Since I had to stop seeing her in 2022 I haven’t had a therapist. None of them are helpful. They all seem to just try to rinse and repeat the exact same skills I’ve been being taught in hospitals and therapy since I was 12. I never get any real support. I just feel judged for talking candidly and also have to walk on eggshells to avoid being sent to the hospital unnecessarily. Most therapists don’t seem to understand that I’m always a little odd and always have hallucinations. Even if I’m doing well on meds. Just seems like they have no idea what they’re doing. So now I don’t have one. Just see my pdoc every two weeks.
I’ve had the same therapist since 2011. He’s 69 now and works through a contract two days a week. Luckily I’m one of the ones he continues to see. He actually comes to my house as I’m his last client of the day. Ive brought up a couple issues but we usually just talk about regular stuff for an hour. It’s a good time.
