Hi @EternalFlower . Welcome to the forums! 🙂
Let's just say that you certainly wouldn't be the first patient to have gotten bad treatment from the mental health system.
There are plenty of us on here who know that situation all too well.
If anything, I think it sounds pretty impressive that your therapist has enough integrity to admit that he's very inexperianced. Although I guess it would be even more impressive if he transferred you over to a differant therapist who was more capable of helping you.
Were you assigned to your therapist by your GP? If so, could you maybe talk to your GP about being reassigned to a more helpful therapist?
I've heard that the wait times for starting with new therapists are atrocious these days, though... what with coronavirus and the floods and all...
