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.

Neither "therapeutic" nor professional. Most of these folks are totally self-centered totally focused on self and their own sense of wellness. It would be far more effective to see someone with BOTH mental and physical problems that weigh them down. Empathy and attention to others is a first step toward mental stasis and recovery.

Now that I have elder onset of tonic -clonic seizure activity I understand the stigma making a public spectacle but starting to adapt and accept what I have no control over. Luckily the meds. do help.
