I never really felt much of a connection with this guy, despite sticking it out for over a year with him. Hes very insistent that I take almost 3 hours out of my day to do in person visits and has threatened to charge me as a cancelation if I still demanded virtual, I haven’t felt the ability to be honest with him about larger issues than what I discuss, and frankly I would get nervous to talk to him before a lot of sessions. I had a therapist before that I connected with better, but that was 3 years ago almost and I had to stop when I lost my last job.
Im already in the process of getting back with my past therapist, who seemed much warmer to me. When I had to stop seeing her, i cried, whereas with this guy, I’m nervous he’ll try to talk me out of dropping him.
On the bus to go do it now, send me your good vibes pls
To my friend corgi and anyone else seeing this. It is important, nay, critical, that you write off and disregard the opinions of the myriad assholes and shit-heels you will encounter in life.
This life is far, far too short to countenance the opinion of every self important POS who manages to accrue some kind of authority.
Don’t waste one single second of your precious existence and mental fortitude being worried about this loser therapist. Tell them calmly and professionally that you will not be continuing to retain their services, then leave. If they think their job at that point is to try and SELL YOU on their therapy then they’ve told you everything you need to know.
Wise words. Appreciate it!
