Things I Discussed with My Therapist

That's not a good therapist. Their not there to belittle you, they're there to help you. And if they can't do one without another it's time for a change. You're not obligated to continue seeing him as a therapist, and you can search up therapists and leave reviews to warn others of his "strategy" people are like hands and therapists gloves, one size doesn't fit all, and you might have to ry a few before finding one that fits your needs. I understand there may be external circumstances preventing you from changing therapists, but it's important to not settle for someone who's obviously not helping. I had a similar experience with my first therapist and I'm always willing to chat if you need some advice (considering I've gone through about 6 or 7 therapist myself.)
