I've been seeing a therapist since April 2025 at least once every two weeks. She's nice and gives me advice, but forgets a lot of important stuff. She'll bring up things she recommends me to try out and says she'll send me a link/article, but always forgets to send it. That's happened at least 6 times.
She said she'd send me a recommendation letter for medication from my PCP cus she suspected I had a diagnosis. I messaged her through the portal with the date of my doctors appointment and she said okay, but never sent it. She apologized during our next appointment but it got kinda awkward cus she knows I have issues with trust and people who aren't reliable (ironic).
That was kind of my last straw and decided that maybe therapy isn't for me, or at least I don't feel like I need it anymore. She texted me today saying I've been on her mind and wanted to know if I'd like to schedule with her again before the year ends since I last saw her 2 months ago. EXCEPT, the name she used to address me was nowhere near close to mine š.
If she got my name correct I would have loved to say yes, but correcting her would make it incredibly awkward (again) and contradict her text almost. I get that she sees a lot of clients, but idek
I would be so frustrated if I were in your position. These ālittleā mistakes add up and they ruin your trust. I would be thinking, if sheās that absent minded, is she even able to process what Iām talking about?
Please donāt give up on therapy. Gradually increasing your trust in a good therapist really can help. Youāre not getting the help you need, and itās because of THIS therapist, now because therapy doesnāt work for you
