"you arent having all the problems that you are trying to tell me. and its doing us no good talking on this anymore because this is not what is going on. you making it on your own, your taking care of your fianaces, your always keeping up on your hygiene, even though you dont feel like your able to make it, you are doing it. so you dont need help in this area."

>.<** oh yeah?! just because i dont tell you that i only showered today, and that last time i showered and brushed my teeth and put on some what clean clothes prior to that, was the last time i was in here!! ! just because i dont say this, doesnt mean its not happening. oy!! ! so much is stuck and i cant put it into words!!
(i very much dislike my current therapist who isnt willing to help in what i say i need help with, she finds other things that i dont even have problems with and demands that they are what my problems are.. she wont accept my diagnosis, and shes determined that i am not autistic (even tho there has been many through my life who had diagnosed me as such, and prior to her, my psychologist dx'ed me with aspergers, but - i cant even- grrrrr!! :'( i wish i could get this all out, but im lacking how to describe it an what all went on and things, into words. other what i had wished i would of had ready to say in response (what i said after the quote of her)

just as with teachers, there are an awful lot of bad "therapists" out there with a shingle on a wall.

Geez, Saphie, get another therapist! I had one for almost two years who always made me feel like s***. He also didn't think I really had Asperger's and made fun of me for thinking I did. I finally got rid of him, and through Easter Seals I found a licensed social worker who does therapy and who is trained to deal with people with Asperger's. That's been really helpful. Seriously, dump your therapist. A therapist who is mean is a bad therapist.

thank you both!
im going to try and get a new therapist, but currently i am at a loss on how to go about doing that, lol....
im gonna search easter seals and see if that can help me where im living too.

Yes, I have let go of therapists before. It's not a big deal. Find someone else that would be more supportive of you and your experiences. That's what they are there for. If they do not believe you are struggling with a particular issue then I would let them go. If you say you are struggling with something and they discount that then they are not the right fit for you.

I could not agree more. The last thing you should be getting from a therapist is invalidation. Shoot, we get that enough from the people in the outside world.

Yes, I have had several therapists throughout my life, and some have done more harm than good.

I advise people now that if their therapist is not working, don't tough it out, just find a new one...

I'm glad you decided to go that route!
