Dear @Blossom1961, what a dispiriting experience. But I love the way you responded, good on you. While I'm sure there a good traditionally trained psychologists it's so often a tick the box mentality. And this widespread view that the treatments don't cause these effects just makes you feel inauthentic and belittled ... I found a wonderful counsellor, he does not get Medibank rebates so it's expensive but totally worth it. He listens and hears, he sees his role as sustaining and holding his clients through their pain and offering compassionate service. I hope you can find someone good for you too.
