I Am Feeling Heartbroken

My therapist of four years doesn’t want to treat me anymore. I’m so upset. I tried to be honest with her and tell her about my issues. I was scared she wouldn’t want to treat me but she insisted that nothing I could say would make her not want to. She’s leaving me like everybody else does.
I tried to open up to her about feelings and thoughts that I’ve kept to myself. She told me that I didn’t even want help and that I’m wasting my time and money.

That IS true of psychoanalysis, period. Why? [b]Because MOST patients NEVER get well from "therapy"![/b]

Would you keep going to a dentist who never was able to fix a dental cary? Or a tutor who couldn't help you with the subject you need to learn? Or muffler shop which couldn't fix your bad muffler?

You get the idea, right?

If you wouldn't keep using ineffective professionals, tradespeople, service providers, product...so WHY would you WANT to continue to use an ineffective mental health therapy...?

It does not mean that your feelings aren't valid; just that psychoanalytic therapy is ineffective.
