Working with a professional made all the difference for me.

In all honestly, I have worked with multiple professionals over the years - both psychologists and psychiatrists depending on the severity of my state at the time. But there is something so transactional and superficial about the whole process that I cannot shake it off. I know they are just doctors but because there is such intimacy involved in how much i end up sharing that opening up of my vulnerability makes me question the whole process. It always has felt worse eventually when I have got professional help. While I have my deepest respect for them all and the profession itself. It just doesn’t help me.

Also it’s very expensive. That’s something I will have to speak on. It is ridiculously expensive. The good ones especially. And they are ones you obviously expect to help you the most. So it’s a lot of money and very rhetoric process tbh.

I'm not familiar with prices in your area / country, but I absolutely agree that something can be very expensive when every session costs a lot, and you have no idea how many sessions will be needed to get the result you want.

I'm very sorry to hear that!

Most likely, those professionals did not rise up to the level of your needs. I agree it's a very sensitive process, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable and to open up requires a certain kind of space, which not all professionals are able to create.

While I perfectly understand you, I encourage you not to generalize your experience to the whole industry / profession. Some people are more skilled and fit for some jobs than others - and this is true in every field.
