Disappointed by my therapist

So i asked her what she thought of me doing group therapy and she said no.
She said most people in the group setting would not be understanding of my tics or outburst and i should not go.

Not what i was expecting her to say.

@SinlessOnslaught i have mostly facial tics and extreme outbursts where i yell out some pretty bad words
@Cigarguy101 What kind of group therapy did you ask her about?
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
@SinlessOnslaught i was hoping to find a tourettes group or maybe a sleep disorder group.
@Cigarguy101 If they share similar symptoms then they should understand. Did you ask your therapist exactly why they said that?

@SinlessOnslaught i have not been to any groups yet. She said no when i asked her about it today
@Cigarguy101 Okay but why?

@SinlessOnslaught i could give you her number and you could ask her.
@Cigarguy101 Uh... no?

@SinlessOnslaught so what do you suggest then. I don't know why she didn't think i should go. She just said no.
@Cigarguy101 Ask her why

@SinlessOnslaught doesn't matter much anyway. I have find a new therapist next year anyway. Her office won't expect my new insurance
