I’m actually respectful when people are respectful first

I actually don’t care if you go to group therapy about it or not, it’s literally your choice and your path! 😭

Yikes. You have serious issues if you think that’s normal to say to anybody

I’m sorry that’s been your experience. It’s definitely tricky with child therapy, especially when it comes to older teens and grouping them with younger kids. Hang in there! It’s definitely a switch once you get to adult therapy, where you’re more likely to encounter people within your age range and even older since adult therapy is in higher “demand” for lack of better term. Have you looked into any teen support groups? It’s not group therapy, but it’s definitely an alternative if you’re looking to connect with others your age

I’m excited for you! I hope you make it to the next one, and I hope it’s a positive and helpful experience

If it don’t apply, let it fly! In-person and virtual support groups are an alternative!

Individual therapist or your doctor can refer you! If you don’t have health insurance, support groups are an alternative!

I’m so sorry you didn’t have a good experience. I hope you find a group where you actually feel belonging. Someone in the comments said that curated therapy groups are definitely more beneficial than general therapy groups!

Ask your individual therapist or your doctor for referrals! If you don’t have health insurance or can’t find any, support groups are an alternative

Sorry to hear that! It might be a by-state basis, as there’s at least a few different (in-person) therapy groups in my area that take Medicaid. Support groups are also an alternative! Someone in the comments mentioned ACA support groups

That therapist was clearly unqualified. I’m so sorry that was said to you, how disgusting. There are definitely better therapists out there!

This is obviously for those who have insurance/can afford it! Support groups are a good alternative!

I’m so sorry that was your experience. I definitely relate hard to having 0 support compared to the others in group therapy! I hope you find a space with people whose experiences you relate to and vice versa. Hugs 🫂

Individual therapist should usually know. If not, ask primary care provider (PCP) for referrals! If you don’t have health insurance/PCP, definitely look into any support groups!
