Crazy. She is officially Crazy in my head. The Ex's moronic girlfriend that is. I have christened her Crazy for the sake of this blog. Because she is. Unless I've been missing out on something huge here. Apparently, according to Crazy, absolutely everyone can get completely unlimited free counselling sessions at any time. No limits to the number of sessions available. No cost. Wow. How has this managed to escape my attention? I have had counselling on two separate occasions. I have completed a short course in counselling skills that was taught by a practicing counsellor. The first time I underwent counselling I was only seventeen. And I was suicidal. It was a free charity for troubled teens that offered this service. And there was a six month waiting list. The second time was in my mid twenties for severe social anxiety. It was limited to four to six sessions with a counsellor using the NHS approved method of CBT (that's cognitive behavioural therapy for those who don't know.) and it was a complete waste of time. CBT doesn't work for everything. But beyond those initial sessions I would have had to pay for private counselling. And the idea is that your problems are sorted in the shortest time possible. But maybe my actual counsellor and my tutor were wrong. If so, where is this free, unlimited counselling available? Why is it not common knowledge? Especially if it is guaranteed to fix all of my issues regardless of what they are.
She is crazy for other reasons too, but this reason seemed the most pertinent at the current time.
