Today, after breaking down in front of my therapist over some really sensitive issues, she decided to also break down. Not about my story but about her own life. I'm not being paid to comfort and console my therapist. FML

Today, and every time I meet a new therapist for support, I’m told that my issues are out of their scope of practice, and I get referred to someone who’s supposed to more experienced, and then get told the same thing. I’m too fucked up to even get the therapy I need to get better. FML

Transference

Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you it's me' speech." Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML

Today, I saw a psychiatrist for the first time. After telling her everything I'm going through, she looked at me and said "You know… every five years or so I get a case completely beyond my ability to help." I guess it's been five years. FML

Actually the therapist did what he was supposed to do. Or did you want him to just lie to you and just screw things up before telling you that he isn't qualified to help you? Maybe he could've worded it nicer, but you're better off now OP. I hope you can find the help you need soon, and please don't take what your therapist said too personally. He just wants you to have the best of the best, look at it that way.

Well then I'm sorry, I'm not qualified to pay your sorry undertrained ass. And I might just report you to the state so they can revoke your license to practice, and you can get another job you are more qualified for. I'll help train you! Repeat after me, would you like to supersize your order.

Well look at it this way at least they didn't try to pump you with experimental drugs to try and solve your problem, they were honest about their qualification and didn't just waste your money talking around in circles.

i think she was implying you need meds... haha therefore you would have to see a psychiatrist that can prescribe them.
