Hey there! Just wanted to share my story…
Years ago, I decided to give therapy a try because I really needed help. Unfortunately, my first experience wasn’t what I hoped for 
my therapist didn’t seem to acknowledge what I was saying or how I felt and I ended up feeling unheard and frustrated. It felt like a waste of time & I almost gave up on therapy…
But I knew I still needed support so I decided to try again. This time, I found a therapist who was the perfect fit. I felt SEEN, HEARD and was finally able to work through a deeply traumatising experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone 
This journey taught me that finding the right therapist can make all the difference!! If you haven’t found the right fit yet, don’t give up—there are amazing therapists out there who can help.
Have you had a similar experience? Or have you found the right therapist for you? I’d love to hear your stories too!! Sending love to allll

Hey there, thank you so much for sharing your journey! 
It’s really inspiring to hear that you didn’t give up, even after such a tough first experience with therapy. Finding the right therapist really can make such a huge difference and I’m so glad you found someone who made you feel truly seen and heard.
I totally agree—sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error, but the right support can be life-changing. Your story is such an encouragement to anyone who might be struggling with therapy right now.
Sending love back to you!

oh gosh i relate to this so much op. i’ve literally had at least 4?? bad therapy sessions! u can always tell by the 1st session if they’ll take you seriously or not.
i’ve had psychiatrists completely disregard my concerns/wishes, clinical psychologists telling me “i just need to try harder”, and counselors telling me very cynically that i cant change the circumstances of my life - i just have to live with it! i walked out some of these sessions feeling completely hopeless, and sometimes wishing i would just die
i think its very hard to find a professional that’s not only skillful, but willing to actually understand and hear your experiences. i’ve had some very good therapists as well, but they’re very rare i think, especially in Malaysia where the field is still very new.
Wow, thanks for sharing, I’ve been feeling the same way too. Recently took up therapy again for the past couple of months, but I feel like the sessions haven’t really worked for me. I’ve had different therapists/counsellors, but for some reason I can never truly feel comfortable with them.
This gives me hope!
