It is not that therapy didn't work. It is more that you and the therapist didn't work. I speak from experience on this.

Therapy by nature is a very personal experience which requires a great deal of trust in the therapist by the patient. I'm fairly certain the problem you experienced was in the area of trust.

For therapy to work you must trust your therapist to the point you can share your deepest and darkest secrets. If that trust isn't there therapy cannot work. You haven't said how old you are or were the last time you tried therapy.

Therapy is confidential. Meaning your therapist will never tell your parents what was said in therapy or anyone else. They can't your privacy is protected by law. No judge can order a therapist to violate your privacy. This is so that the therapist can gain your trust and properly treat you.

If the therapist explained this to you at the time; is it possible you were to young to understand? Is it possible you were seen by a child therapist and maybe an adolescent therapist would have been better?

You need to get back into therapy to rid yourself of these thoughts. If you are old enough to choose your own therapist then do so and if you are not comfortable with your first choice find another until you find one you are comfortable with. I went through 3 before I found the therapist I am comfortable with.

If mom and dad are choosing your therapist then tell them you are not comfortable with the one they chose. If need be show then this portion of my answer about being comfortable or have them private message me. I would be more than willing to help them understand how important you be comfortable with the therapist. They may be choosing your therapist based on their comfort which does not work for you and is the wrong way to chose a therapist for a child.

Private message me if I can be of any more help.

Therapy can vary from person to person. For some it works, for others.. not so much. If you truly wish to get rid of these negative thoughts, try and locate the source of them. What is the reason you feel this way? Find it, and find a solution to either destroy the source, or come to terms with it, or forget about it and live for the future, and not in the past. Remember, life isn't going to always be easy. There will be good and bad times, but it's up to you on how you choose to deal with it.
