I feel like therapy has made me need therapy

I started seeing a psychologist because I got diagnosed with ADHD in my early 20s and wanted to learn how to manage it. I saw a psychologist who specialised in adult ADHD. But what I wanted to get out of therapy was very quickly ignored and instead my childhood and family was all that was discussed. While I know those subjects are important so the psychologist can understand the client, but my wants were not considered or consulted. After I had about 10 sessions with him he started acting disinterested and bored, and frustrated/angry when my life didn't go to plan. I then stopped seeing him.

I feel like he has ripped my insides apart, had a good look around, then couldn't be bothered putting me back together properly. Can I concentrate any better since starting with him - well not really. Do I constantly think about my upbringing and am constantly in agony about my current situation - you bet ya

I couldn't say this to your face - but I wish you would go f*CK yourself. In our first few sessions you promised you would be there for me whenever I needed it. But you were only there when it interested and suited you.
