This was the worst experience and I feel worse off than I began. I feel completely devalued and invalidated. Nothing I came in for was EVER addressed. I just feel like a complete loser now. If I work up the courage to ever seek therapy again I think I might just try strictly talk therapy. Basically my job was to read the feeling good handbook, do homework, submit homework, write feelings, write nice things about myself. I felt like a child and she was my parent. She even told me if I did not do what she told me to do she could not help me. It specifically says in the feeling good book that therapist should never do this! How upsetting it was to feel controlled and misunderstood constantly. I felt like I was begging her to listen to me. She didn't...and I was even paying for her to listen. Very disappointing.
