She said you were too difficult to counsel ?

Is she a NOCD therapist? If so, I would contact the folks at NOCD to discuss this. If not, I’m sorry this happened. Therapists or not all good people; it’s also possible this was just not a good fit. Did she actually say you were too difficult? Did she mean that you need more help than she can give? I’m sorry you had this experience. There are good therapist out there; you need to weed through them sometimes.

I had a therapist once who called me a B$@&h. Real nice and really professional.

@Lms526 Wow . That’s unprofessional and very rude . That’s a huge concern . I hope she never counsels anyone again . I’m sorry to hear that

And she was constantly her personal beliefs in session. I was unemployed, so I went to a community clinic. I had another counselor at the same place. At first. She was great. Until I told her about a sexual assault I experienced in college. Then she completely changed. She refused to see me until I could tell her what I wanted to do for a career. The only thing I can think of is that something in my story hit a nerve.

I had another counselor at a different place that kept telling me I was depressed even though I knew I wasn't.

Yeah that’s just super strange . She doesn’t seem fit to be a counselor at all … like at all .

Today I had my follow up appointment with my psychologist, I left feeling worse, I loved the psychologist I spoke to last time he was very informed and understanding, this time I got an appointment with someone who he supervises and I feel like she didn't allow me to speak, she didn't allow me to explain my thoughts or feelings, she told me I have to take my medication or she won't be able to continue helping me, which I understand but im terrified of medication I can't get over it, she said if i start the prozac and it doesn't work then I'll have to get on antipsychotics which seems a bit extreme to me considering i have no psychotic symptoms matter of fact she didn't even allow me to explain my symptoms and i feel like there's so many other antidepressants that could work before getting on antipsychotics🙁 this didn't help me at all considering the episode of ocd i just got through was about me becoming psychotic, I just feel let down and misunderstood, I almost felt as if she was mad at me for the buspar not working she said "you didn't really try it you just took it for a week so if you stopped it it's like you gave up on yourself" but it kept me up 2 nights in a row and i couldnt function from the anxiety 😞

I had a very bad session with a therapist today (NOT FROM NOCD). She basically told me I can’t be helped without medication, said I am too needy and if I keep being needy, people will continue to leave me, and my past trauma from relationships is my fault. I then had a second session with my old therapist who helped process and explain that OCD is lifelong and some people manage it but others have flare ups and I think I’m having a bad flare up (a month long basically) and that I may need medication which I’m terrified to go back on. Does it get better? Will I need meds? I’m scared. I don’t want to get worse and I don’t want these thoughts to scare me.
