Crystal,
I sure understand what you are saying. When my counselor asked me for goals, I was astounded. What do you mean goals? He said what do you expect out of therapy?
Well, i dont know. then he said, well next week come in with a few ideas, it is fine that you dont know, most people dont know what they want at first.
so, i went home and came up with a few things i needed help and validation for.
you dont trust drug addicts, which was one of my problems too. my ex and my father were both alcoholics.
maybe ask why and how you can live a different way, look within for validation and not try to get it from someone who is incapable of doing it.
just some ideas of mine.
maybe i need some counseling too.
