So, my dad starts complaining about how expensive my therapy is. I say, wait, I pay for it. Turns out, the therapist was slipping charges onto BOTH our cards every visit. Sneaky much?
Imagine going to therapy and all you get is a nod and "hmmm, that must've been hard." No advice, no help, just endless sympathy nods. Thanks… I guess?
This therapist spilled all my juicy secrets to my parents with no good reason. Spoiler: I did not stay quiet - I sued. Justice served!
Therapy is supposed to help us, right? But sometimes, it’s like, nope, not today! People are talking more about mental health, but bad therapists? They’re still a thing, and man, their stories are wild. Just so you know, a bad therapist can make things worse - not better.
First session and the therapist just kept going silent on me - like 20 times. Was I a mime or a patient? ASK ME SOME QUESTIONS, PLEASE!
I started crying and the therapist just flat out said, "Nope! Uh-uh. We’re not doing that!" Okay, tough love much?
This was said to a 13-year-old seeking help for depression. Spoiler alert: that kid left therapy pronto!
When a therapist messes up, some folks start thinking it's their fault. That's a big ol’ nope. Bad therapists can leave you feeling like you’re the problem, even when you’re not. That’s why trusting your gut matters - big time.
I spotted her glasses reflecting Zillow while she ‘listened.’ Guess my feelings weren’t on the market, huh?
Guess my therapist’s sidekick was AI? I caught them googling my name on a ChatGPT tab during our session. Talk about multitasking!
My trauma triggered my therapist’s memories, and I ended up consoling THEM for like 30 minutes. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Some therapists push you to dig deep when you’re just not ready. Imagine diving into a pool without knowing how to swim - yeah, not fun. A good therapist helps you cope, a bad one leaves you drowning.
Got a front-row show of her Amazon haul reflected in her glasses while we ‘talked.’ Retail therapy stronger than actual therapy?
She straight up told me, “If you can’t think of something to talk about, don’t bother scheduling.” Tone it down, please!
Went into labor a few hours before a session and missed it. Therapist gave my weekly spot away like I was just slacking. Cold like ice.
Therapy takes guts, and starting over with a new therapist feels like a mountain climb. But if the person you’re seeing is a dud, dropping them is self-care! You deserve someone who’s got your back, not someone who makes you wanna run.
Mid-story, she yawned and apologized, then said, “It’s just work is boring sometimes.” Another once told me the student therapist wouldn’t return because my story was ‘too triggering.’ Yeah… thanks for the TMI.
Kept telling her the breathing stuff made my panic attacks worse. Her response? "Then you’re doing it wrong because it works." Okay, byeee.
I told her I don’t see myself as a mom and she went all in on why motherhood is amazing and we all need to experience it. That’s cool and all, but I was just saying I don’t want it!
So, what to do if your therapist is a total weirdo? Kick ‘em to the curb! Seriously, if they’re shady or just not jiving with you, say goodbye. Your mental health is priceless, so don’t settle for less.
