[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had a couple good therapists and a couple lousy ones over the years. I’ve gone to individual and couples therapy at times.

The worst ones just kind of let you wallow in your emotions. The good ones will diagnose you or do assessments and give you steps to work on.

I remember the first one I went to I just vented and she’d agree with me and I ended up feeling worse every time I went because I had just relived the bad part of my week.

I had a really bad one stand up, wave his arms and just tell me to go get divorced while I was sitting there crying.

I had an ex-friend who was an MFT couples therapist. She has a huge following on social media, but in real life she is very combative and full of negativity. My other friends who know her swear they would never ever go to her and can’t believe anyone does. Back when we were friends, she would belittle the demographic of her clients and talk about how she hated her job and wish she’d chosen something else.

My current one is a PhD in psychology. I recommend starting there over a counselor or MFT. [/quote]
