My therapist sucks; advice?

If the therapy is not working for you, ask your family physician if you can't be transferred to a different therapist.. and the you have to open up with the new therapist and work with him as a team to get results.. by not trying to put a wall up.. he has to be able to know what your feelings and thoughts are. He should know all that is relevant about your life. in order to be able to help him to get a better idea of how to help you... You say you trust this therapist. That's positive. He should listen though and you should make a point of making him listen, not just talk... I had seen a therapist many years ago and I never had a connection with him, because he just fired questions at me, which I always answered, and by the time I wanted to ask him questions, he told me '' the hour is up'' then he tried me on an experiment some of the pills were mere placebos, the other were a medication, and he told me he had no idea if I was given the placebos, he also told me nothing when i asked what the medication in the other pills was.. he said he didn't know... I started to get feeling very sick whenever I saw food I was feeling sick.. so I did lose 30 lbs in 3 months.. Well that was something, lol. from 140 lbs I went down to 110 lbs. Maybe that was his whole idea.. to make me lose weight.. I was there because I had physical pain which was undetermined.. until it was later by some other doctor diagnosed as ''GAD'' but this therapy didn't help me and after I had lost 30 lbs without being on a diet and not seeing the connection with the pills I was given by the doctor, I thought I must be really ill that I get sick from seeing food, so I just told him that it's abnormal for anyone not on a diet to lose 30 lbs in 3 months and that I want to see an internist again.. go back to my family physician and have that arranged.. they agreed that losing that much weight in such a short time without dieting was not the norm.. so they let me go.. that was the end of my therapy.. not very useful to me.
