Real Life Bad Therapy Sessions That Were Very Memorable

My Lost Year

My ex broke up with me because I was more invested in the relationship than she was. It was a totally fine thing to do, but my shrink told me that “Your ex-girlfriend is acting this way because she wants to get back together with you, and if you hang in there I’m sure she will.”

Yes, this is ridiculously bad advice, and I took it hook, line, and sinker. I spent a whole year truly believing that any minute we were going to reunite, and this was actively encouraged by my therapist. It was awful.

After 12 months of tormenting myself and my ex with these fantasies, I dumped the therapist, and my ex and I are actually pretty good friends now. That year was a lost year for me. Story credit: Reddit / dangerousgift
