Lost faith in therapy

[Intelligent_Panic99]

I saw a therapist for three years and told her everything. She told me she cared and encouraged my dependence on her. I told her over and over I was uncomfortable with this but she ignored that, Then she dropped me and turned icy cold. She told me I could come back when I was "better" but I found out today that was just another lie. I didn't ask to come back and I just asked for a small kindness and she was just so utterly cold. I know it was just a professional relationship but now I am not sure I can wait to ctb. I just want to stop feeling like a piece of shit and I won't if I am dead.

Therapists are trained in emotional manipulation, building rapport, being a surrogate friend. I wish it wasn't treated like a go-to, works-for-everyone method.

Definitely did not work for me. I would have killed myself a while ago but I didn't because she convinced me not to and that seems a wholly unfair thing to do if you're just going to drop someone later. It's definitely made me more aware of my worthlessness.

I'm sorry that you had this experience, I agree that it is unfair. I understand that it is awful when things just get worse. I wish you the best in whatever happens.
