Tell me you don't know what happens in a therapy session without telling me you've never been to a therapy section.

    That one word is doing a lot of heavy lifting on its own, until what follows contradicts what you've said. If you don't have the words, a therapist's questions and prompts and what-not aren't really doing all that much to break the silence, nor to promote healing until you're ready to participate. sometimes

    Then you need to find a new therapist. Not having the language for therapy is one thing. Not having a therapist that can help you find those words is another.

    ... and who is going to tell someone that when they've socially isolated themselves by taking time off for an extended period?

    The only time I've seen a therapist more often than weekly or bi-weekly was in a short stint in rehab. No way, no how, does normal therapy replace daily contact with others.

    Also, most people aren't assertive, informed, or motivated enough to seek a second professional opinion, and that's before we throw grief into the equation. Congrats on describing all-too-many therapists with your last line as well.
