For those of us who have had therapy to describe our experience.
The two trained psychologists/therapists I saw pushed the "If you want to be a good person..." line as though I was a moral degenerate rather than someone who needed help to cope better. I stopped seeing them rather quickly. Finally I had 'therapy' from an untrained member of staff at the day centre I was attending. She didn't push the "If you want to be a good person..." line but was hypercritical of me and didn't give much encouragement. Eventually she revealed she was part of a small religious sect and dumped me soon after for inadvertently upsetting her religious sensibilities. After that trio of fiascos I was soon told I was unsuitable for therapy.
