So I went to see my counselor today and it seemed like the biggest waste of time. I’ve always suspected this is her first job out of college. I thought I organized my thoughts pretty good with her, but she really had no insight to offer me. I’m not really ready to say she’s not a good fit because last time I saw her I thought things went pretty well. Anyone who’s been following my story knows I’m going through a divorce. I shared with the counselor that I was bewildered by my soon to be ex’s new found niceness and and she really had nothing to say about it. I’ve gotten far more useful feedback from all of you on this website, which I’m very thankful for. To top things off, my son has been saying some disturbing things to me and she really had nothing to offer on that either. Today was warm enough that I wore a short sleeve shirt there for the first time. She saw all the scars on my arms from cutting and she DID want to talk about that extensively. Also, she wanted to talk about voices today. These things are important, but they’re just not the most pressing issues in my life right now. I’m sorry to go on for so long but I just really needed to vent. Thanks for reading !

If your therapist is not interested in what you want to talk about, then you need to find a new one. My therapist hasn’t been able to help me, but not for a lack of trying. He tries his best. I’m just a lost cause. But he starts every session with “what’s on your mind?” And he’s always interested in what I have to say, even when he disagrees.
