I have seen I think 5 different therapists. There were times I thought it might be helping a little, but I actually ended up feeling more often like the therapist didn't listen very well and I would often eventually conclude that they simply didn't care.

One of the therapists reacted terribly when I told them I had to stop seeing them due to financial concerns. He actually suggested I take out a loan, get a credit card, or ask my parents for money. I made it clear how important staying out of debt was to me but he persisted with those ideas. At that point I felt like a walking paycheck...

The other part I found difficult with a lot of the therapists is that they tended to ask boring questions and give very generic advice. I don't know what I expected exactly, but it felt less than what a professional should provide. I know the right therapist can be amazing but it's expensive so I keep saying I may try again but it's honestly a daunting task trying to find one who is worth the time and money.
