Therapist stopped seeing me

[ScarletX]

Annoyed, pissed of…honestly I feel abandoned. My therapist decided I wasn’t progressing fast enough in my severe OCD treatment, in the less than 12 sessions I’ve had with her. Told me to my face that I’m comfortable with having it, and don’t want to change….wtf kind of mental health treatment is that. OCD is one of the hardest mental illnesses to treat, and somehow I “like having it”.
Im trying my hardest not to have this awful illness. I don’t like it. It makes me want to die every single day. If I was so happy with it, I wouldn’t even have sought therapy in the first place, or try the useless psych meds they push down your throat.
Oh well. I’m a lost cause anyway, so it’s no surprise

What an awful thing for the therapist to say, you're not a lost cause @ScarletX and I hope you don't give up or let this stop you from seeking out another therapist if that's an option for you.
Hugs

I don't think you're a lost cause
The therapist was wrong
Therapy can take lots of time for results
I would expect a therapist to know that, and have realistic expectations

Peace

U might just need a therapist that knows what they are doing

I'm sorry that your therapist did that. It's understandable that you're angry and feel abandoned.

There might be a book or other treatment methods that could help. Hopefully you'll also be able to find a new therapist that you like better.

It sounds like the therapist possibly needs some therapy herself. You aren't at fault. Do you have the option of finding/interviewing others and to have a 1st session to assess if they have done their own work on themselves before you proceed further with them?.....

Sending hugs..... you deserve love and support. Not rejection. Honestly it'd take me close to a year to trust someone. It's not meant to take 12 sessions.
