It’s hard to leave because it feels like it’s one crappy therapist for another. I have yet to meet a therapist that is actively working on themselves to be a good therapist to clients but I’m not giving up on finding someone

i’m glad you’re not giving up but i totally get that. i haven’t met a therapist i look up to. why would i take advice and guidance from someone i don’t want to be like? and it’s such an intense and personal process to get to the point you realize if they’re a good therapist or not.

It really is. It has been a wild ride. I did some research about this therapist today, and I found out that they have done worse things to prior clients where they work, and it’s super recent too. Just wish I found out about them sooner. I think I honestly am more trusting of peer support places than I am for therapists these days

Also: I managed to bring up my concerns about this therapists hygiene issues to them. I didn’t bring this up to shame them or to make them feel bad about it. I brought it up because if I didn’t, someone else would probably tell them in a more asshole way. But honestly, I think they either have some kind of vaginal infection or something or aren’t washing well enough. Even just sitting across from them, you can clearly smell a foul odor, and it got worse when they used the bathroom.

It was a constant thing. Honestly I think this issue just symbolized that they weren’t really practicing enough self care in their personal life
