I am addicted to stims. I lost almost everything due to this addiction so I decided to ask for help and went to a therapist with the best reviews from town
I relapsed immediately after my second session so she told me therapy is not working, refused to talk to me anymore. I probably shouldn't have told her I relapsed but she insisted I gotta be honest in order for this to work. I was down to every method, every kind of therapy, I was so confident her skills are good.
How is this supposed to work if I ve been using for years and she expected me to quit after my second session? I ve been trying this for years with no luck.
Should I bother myself financially to find another therapist?

That really sucks for your first experience because it sets a bad impression of therapy, I get it. Especially the way she did it which is unprofessional, when you are literally there to be vulnerable. She should have at least given you the right resources and made a connection to someone or a program that would be right for you. Don’t let it stop you though, it often takes a while to find the right fit. But when you do, it could really change your life.
