I’ve posted before about my issues with my therapist I’ve been seeing. Well, today I’ve decided to find a diff one. The sessions don’t feel constructive to me. She doesn’t seem to recognize my signs, and they charged me $130 vs $80 because I didn’t pay at time of session, even though I tried to pay it and they told me to wait for the statement in the mail. I’m discouraged. I want help, I want therapy. This experience is making me feel less hopeful for recovery and it feels like this impossible feeling is even worse. Idk what to do.

It’s terrible. We should be able to find resources to help something that weighs on us so heavily daily. This app is very progressive that way. There’s so much support and I see many positive changes for people with ocd in the future with the help of NOCD

I’m using my husbands HSA. My insurance would cover it if I met my deductible, but that’s $3000 and neither of us ever have medical costs so we haven’t even began to meet that amount. I found her through psychology today

@NOCD Advocate - Katie Wow! I never knew this existed. Thank you!

@ruminating_redhead You're welcome ?

Me too. It really is disheartening. I’m so sorry you went through that. I have somewhat done my own therapy through the past two years, but I couldn’t imagine the poor people that are first struggling with this and then going to someone who doesn’t understand, if that’d been me, I would have probably been way worse off. I’m glad I understand myself enough and this illness to know what’s right or wrong in treating it.

Yeah, it’s something with small town therapists. They have a smaller mindset or something lol. I felt like I was telling her things she should have known. Everyone says suicide is selfish. That just isn’t true.
