Counselling how should I proceed?

[flea]

oh, too bad.

so she gets paid $160/session, and she couldn't deal with a bit of smut? hmmmm, probably a good thing you're moving on. at least you're taking the steps needed to help you get through this slump you're in. I say kudos!

Counsellors tend to have different specialties. I think she got it right about your issues, btw. The porn thing is a symptom, not the problem.

I think you should look for an older, married male counsellor. You will resonate with that kind of stable authority, I think.

Nah this counsellor was just "given" to me. This company is covered by my work and they just match you based on the first conversation. She is free. The one my freind recommended was $160. So I'm going to request someone else. She has already referred me to this male counsellor.

I never said she was wrong, however school is not something I'm going to persue, at least not anywhere in the near future.

thanks for asking.

I knew as soon as I met her we wouldn't work out. She's not the counsellor for me. She refused to talk about porn and strippers saying that's not a topic she knows about so she can't help me with that.

But in regards to aging and me thinking that life after 30 is all downhill is because I don't have anything to look forward to. Which makes much sense. And also that my not finishing school has a lot to do with it.

I've taken 4 years worth of post secondary in many areas: criminology, psychology, sociology, law, math and anthropology. I didn't end up with a degree in anything. She thinks that a lot of what I describe above is because I feel like I've failed myself. I don't really think so, but she's talking about subconscious feelings. Maybe she's onto something. But I'm not going back to finish for a long, long time- if ever.

She's going to refer me to a man to help look into some other issues I mentioned.

First session: okay but the match was off.

Baahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaaha hahhaha!!!!!

I told you. You should have listened

Whatever the hell do you keep "telling me"? Seriously, What the f***.

Edit: ohh I know what you've been telling me. To not go that a diary will help me. Right, I've had a diary since I was 10 and I'm still screwed. Communicate with my bf? I have, plenty of times. What else did you tell me? Waste my money? It's free. Waste my time? Hardly I have nothing better to do. Hmm Oh yeah you also told me my friends could help, wrong again; I have already said why they cannot.

counselors actually get their degree in counseling. and it's a masters degree.
