Langstrump,

If it doesn’t feel right, it isn’t right.

The bottom line for me is that you shouldn’t leave the therapist office feeling worse than when you went in. I think a true professional should be able to deal with some unpleasant truths, but by the end of each session, give you real hope of a better tomorrow. I also need to feel some empathy from a therapist.

For what it’s worth, it really sounds from your description that your mother has ADHD. Seems like a lot of undiagnosed parents can cope with, or cover up the attention side of ADHD, but are unaware of the emotional regulation deficit. Makes for a tough childhood for so many of us, having to deal with our own (undiagnosed) ADHD as well.
