Advice on how to approach parents about more conseling?
Answer:
I have been in your situation and that is why I decided to become a psychologist. The best way in my opinion would be to sit them down and tell them that you had a bad experience in the past and that the person you saw wasn't right for you. There are many different doctors with different approaches and some work better with certain types of people than others. I had to go through about ten different ones before I found someone I was comfortable with. If they don't understand tell them this: you need to find someone you can freely talk to and be able to trust. Until then you will never have a good experience. If you find that you just don't feel right talking to a psychologist then consider seeing a psychiatrist and having them find a medication that works.
The most important thing is for you to get the help, so have this conversation with your parents right away. Simply be direct...'I know that I wanted to quit counseling before, but I'm really not doing well and I need some help, so I want to find a new therapist." Just get the words out, and it will be okay. Interview several therapists, pick one that you feel comfortable with.
Good luck...
