This is ridiculous

So, I went to see my new therapist yesterday. I gave her the benefit of the doubt at first because I know I am super quick to decide if I like someone or not. Yesterday confirmed that I don't like her. She randomly said she was leaving to work somewhere else. The way she said it was like it was no big deal, but I wanted to say...um hello, it took me months to get the courage to come see a therapist and finally admit to someone I was cutting and now you are leaving. She also asked me if I was seeing the counselor that she recommended. I told her that she never recommended that I go see anyone. She just kinda chuckled and was like, oh, I guess I forgot. The whole entire situation pissed me off because it's not like it is easy for me to talk about my issues and it all stresses me out so freaking much.

While I was sitting in her waiting room, I was reading the thread about therapists and I know I'm not the only one who has to deal with bad therapists. I find that so freakin ridiculous. By the way, my sister saw a therapist last summer...she went one time and then, no lie, he died of a heart attack mowing his lawn. So...forgive me for feeling like therapy is more trouble than it is worth. Grrr....

Yikes, brand new therapist casually mentioning leaving to work somewhere else!??? I think you're honoring your gut on this one. Hopefully her replacement will be better for you.

Damn, took the words right out of my mouth! I wholeheartedly agree with Kirayng.
