Initially, I found my experience with Headstrong helpful and felt like I was making progress in dealing with my mental health and trauma. However, after almost three years, I have stopped my sessions because I now realise that my counsellor crossed some boundaries and our relationship became too personal. I also feel that I was manipulated into continuing my sessions on some occasions. This realisation came after talking to friends about their relationships with their therapists, who shared that their therapists would never say some of the things mine did on multiple occasions. This has made me feel extremely uncomfortable and somewhat exploited, and I now believe that the progress I thought I made over the last two years hasn't actually been made. Instead, I feel more conflicted and confused than before. Looking back, it seems like my sessions were more like gossip sessions rather than providing me with tools to navigate life and address my behaviours. These behaviours continued, often with encouragement from my counsellor. Although Headstrong is an affordable service, I do believe I made a poor decision in choosing my therapist. Due to this I don’t believe I will consider therapy again.
