I did not have anything against counseling previously but when I say something really bad happened the last time... please respect my space and understand it was extremely traumatic... ((mal-practice))
I've had some horrendous experiences at restaurants..... But I didn't give up on eating out.
People have been victims of malpractice in healthcare, but still recognize the need to see doctors.
There are bad people in every profession. A bad experience in counseling, even a traumatic experience, is an argument for the need for more therapy, not writing it off altogether.
KC, I have some relatives like you. They can rationalize away anything they don't like. I've pointed this out to you before. It is a huge 180 opportunity.
Again, I'm just a stranger on a message board so take my advice and feedback for what it's worth, which isn't much. It and $1 can buy you a can of soda. But I write here what I do for all readers, not only for the OP. I'd hate for people that need IC to say, "KC had a traumatic experience in IC, I'm not going to go to IC!" I'm sure it was a very difficult experience. I wouldn't wish whatever happened to you on anybody. But there are very good therapists out there that help countless people.
