It's not condescending. I am a recent university graduate, so I have been living that life for the past 5 years. I went with her because my other option was a 1-year program in a different city and I could not commit to it while in school.
I know so many people who fell between the cracks because they weren't paired with the right therapist. I've also seen two social workers and they both said the same thing. If I want to improve, I either do the program, or see a private psychiatrist, which is $90+ per month (ie: >13% of my total monthly budget).
Anyway, I told her she wasn't helping and I wasn't coming back. I just want to know why I wasted the past 8 months with this woman.
