I quit the group "therapy"

I quit the domestic violence group "therapy." I didn't see a point to going to it. The group leader was so bad and disrespectful. When people talk, she won't even pay attention. She was constantly texting, checking the clock, writing down stuff that had nothing to do with the group or what someone was talking about. She allowed three people to dominate all the conversation with everyone else

How my first therapy session went...

My first session of the domestic violence/rape group therapy didn't go all that well for me on Monday. I was disappointed. Basically, there were three really annoying women in the group who would not shut up. They kept interrupting everyone else when they talked.

There were so many papers to fill out, so many questions to answer. They

Well I guess I won't for sure be entering the program. They have to evaluate me to see if they think I'm a "right fit" for the program. I don't know how I

I am seeking new therapy for abuse/rape

I've alluded to the fact that I'm not doing well lately, but I haven't explained. I'm not even sure how to explain what's happening. Always in the past I had a pretty good understanding of my own mind and what I was going through, but now I'm at a loss. I set out on a path of self-discovery a while back. I've been trying to face all my issues in an attempt to overcome them. Somehow by facing them
