It is really unfortunate to find another Brit in the same situation - but at least now I am beginning to realise it isn't ME! Therapy on the NHS is the pits, its short, sharp and definitely a shock. I have had 5 therapists ranging from CBT to CAT and with the exception of one (who happens to be UK's leading specialist on PTSD and I only got her by my original therapist dying) they have been totally 'untrustworthy' and IMHO unethical in their approach. I would honestly advise anyone in the UK to approach specialist counselling organisations which often offer free treatment rather than risk your long-term health with the NHS!
I was actually told by my last T that she was seeing me as and I quote "I'm not as good as the others" rofl rofl rofl (eventually all you have to hold onto is denial).
I hope you get the help you need but for goodness sake don't place ANY faith in the NHS to provide it for you.
