This is a huge problem that has not been dealt with. Beginning in 2020 I was struggling with my mental health due to the upheaval of Covid, cancel culture, BLM, TDS it goes on and on. I felt totally alone. My children, my doctors, my friends, my neighbors were all using, the terms and black squares. As I went to the one person to help in coping, I realized she had been captured also. I went through a few more before I realized they all were taken over. I finally searched a website that found “Christian counselors“ even though I am not religious, that is who I had to turn to. I still have not found a therapist.
I am so sorry that happened. Critical Therapy Antidote can help you find an ideologically neutral therapist, and The Society for Ethical Practice in Psychotherapy will be building a list as well.
I, too, have been without a therapist since 2018. I have had my diagnoses for decades, and had therapists up until that time. When the last one ascertained that I was center-right, politically (I had a 180 of outlook that year), she started not showing up for appointments or yawning cartoonishly in my face. Yep. So I’ve gone without. I’m so glad there’s a resource now, thanks to Aaron’s article. But also, I learned in the intervening years that- even though I have cptsd due to multiple and chronic factors - I’ve done so much better without therapy. Who knew that NOT talking about my traumas would be the swift kick in the pants to put me on a better path!

Thank you. Beyond thank you. That was the first thing I did after I read your post.
