"If you are a risk to yourself, then try it"

I have problematic thinking styles and suffer with insomnia, social anxiety and I am lonely. Despite all of that which causes me daily struggles the counselor was only interested if I was a risk to myself or others. When it was established that I wasn't a risk, then offered to focus on one of my problems with cbt approach. This service exists primarily to prevent physical harm to people. It is not a serious therapy centre. If you want therapy then you will have to pay for it, I'm afraid.
