I feel so badly for you slugdoo; I know what you are going through with your therapist. I saw mine for two years when I quit. I knew I had to just as you know too, but it just doesn't make it any easier. At least I had a chance to go into a session and tell him in person I was quitting and why. I could see he was pained because he did care, but he just was not really up to dealing with my issues and feelings.

I wonder if your therapist does care about his patients? If not then he is a jerk. I cared about people I worked with in therapy, and my therapist now cares. I don't see how a therapist can work with a patient unless the therapist is atuned to what is being experienced by the patient. The over used experssion, "I feel your pain" is true, though, because if you can't let yourself (therapist) feel what the patient is experiencing, then I don't see how you can help. This is why I hate all the technicy approaches to therapy. To me that is not therapy. I hope one of these people you call will work out. I ended up not going with anyone my previous therapist mentioned the year before when he said he was not sure he could work with me. I found my therapist by accident--went on line actually. I was thinking someone had given me his name, but I found out it was not him. Oh well, I am glad I have him.

If you live in or close enough to a large metropolitan area, you could google for who you might want, and then interview them. Don't get into the mindset of will this person take me. Think, do "I" want this person. take care.
