Yesterday was my sixth visit with my counselor (first one in two years).
After our last visit I could tell that she wasn't a good fit. Today really solidified that, after I did all the talking and she just sort of sighed and went "Huh" every few minutes and stared at the ground or looking out the window. She's not that much older than I, and I think she might actually be a student whose working towards her degree and I have a problem with that. I feel sort of like I'm going in to the school counselor just checking in with my day-to-day issues and not really getting to the core of anything and it's starting to feel unnecessary.
This is at a state-funded clinic that caters to low-income and seriously mentally ill folks, right now I can't really afford anything else. I was told by the director there that I don't really have any other options there besides her or a male counselor (which I refuse).
I'm reluctant to try to find a new counselor, and part of me is afraid to tell her it's not working out and not looking forward to the process of shopping around again. Then part of me tells me that I don't need counseling and that life just sucks sometimes and I should just deal with it on my own like many people do.
So far SR seems to be really helping alot. I want to wait a few more sessions until I make my final decision or am I just delaying what could be something more meaningful and that works.
I also don't know what my main issue is that needs help; chemical dependency? Anxiety? Past Trauma? Daily life? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems finding a counselor who specializes in all of those things at once, as well as clicking with them, would be really hard to come by.

Thanks for letting me get this out.
