My therapist broke up with me.
Introdutory sessions are emotionally draining but it's so worth it when you finally find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. I did. I felt hopeful and good.
However, today I received a mail saying she didn't believe I was dedicated to the therapy but have been pressured into doing it (which is absolutely not true).
I feel devastated, hopeless and hurt.
It took me long enough to build up courage and motivation but somebody pushed me back down this mountain and I feel discouraged to try again.

As a person who has been to countless doctors, I can honestly tell you that they are not always right or helpful. We place health workers on a high pedestal of compendancy, but fail to realize that a good doctor will work in union with your choices, especially when it comes to mental health care. It sounds like this therapist chose to believe what they wanted to and failed to get your perspective. It's unfortunate, but that doesn't mean you did anything wrong. I know that it's hard to build up another patient to therapist relationship, but the only other choice is to needlessly blame yourself for the failure of someone who was supposed to help you.
Recovery and treatment for mental disorders or traumas tends to only be good as the doctor, and willingness of the patient. It sounds like you were willing to try what was needed. Perhaps the next therapist will be able to communicate with you better. Please don't let this situation discourage you. I don't believe it was your fault.
Take care and good luck xx
