The difficulty for me is that therapy is draining enough as it is, and the thought of shopping for one sounds even worse. I trust the one I got right now overall. It is very frustrating when they decide to say some uncritical crud.
Last two were similar. Very progressive overall, but randomly frustrating when it came to politics. Very American brained. “Bernie bro” even. At least this one caught that I have ADHD.
Just here to agree that there are several ways one can be “drained”, socially being one of them. I think it kinda betrays a lack of understanding about therapy to claim “It should help you to feel better. If it isn’t doing that it’s actively counterproductive.” because the therapists job isn’t to make you feel better, they’re there to give you the tools and teach you to use them to make yourself feel better, the working part of that happens only outside of the actual therapy sessions. Though that’s a common misconception and I was under it myself long, even during therapy. Which didn’t help.
I just want to say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for your therapist to be telling you things like that, and I think you should report them for doing so.
Your therapist is supposed to hear you and guide you, not debate you.
Can’t wait for my therapist who said Charles Entertainment Kirk fought for free speech to insist this guy is Jesus 2 for the next 3 years.
Really need to find a leftist one or at least one who won’t stab my brain with liberalism.
Anyway,
The key to a therapeutic relationship is trust. Without trust it’s a lot less likely to work. There are a lot of therapists out there.

Socially draining! It feels good because we are able to work through things. But draining in the way many social interactions are for me.
Especially if I have to go over personal history, etc.
