Therapy isn’t for everyone

My kid's mom used to make me feel like I wasn't emotionally as healthy as her just because I didn't go to therapy. I quit couples counseling too because she started bottling things up, not telling me when she had a problem, then just saving it for therapy so she could unload everything on me at once. It felt very overwhelming & after we changed therapists I didn't feel comfortable opening up anymore so every session just felt like "okay... Let's find out what I did wrong this week 🙄"

I mainly wish she would've talked to me outside of therapy instead of saving it all for the therapist. The whole point was to improve our communication & it doesn't seem like communication is improved if you won't even talk to me without a therapist

not all therapist are equal either some really know their stuff and are seriously helpful and others aren't shit but are a waste of time
