Ah, yes, that’s true. Sorry, I’m not sure if it came off that way. It’s not that I’m trying to be friends with a therapist. I just don’t want to feel like I’m being judged or criticized?

I’ve only had a few therapists, and one didn’t really do anything, and it felt like a scam, another one tried having me do CBT and I didn’t really find it very helpful after a while and another seemed OK but also it felt like I was being scrutinized or judged. They seemed like they were analyzing me without giving me anything to take away from the experience.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it a lot. I’ve thought about running something locally but I’m not sure if it is practical yet depending on how long it takes
