This whole experience with that a## wipe Harsh Pandya at Mentoring Minds was a total disaster a new low in my therapy journey I went in a 21-year-old laid it all out there childhood trauma intergenerational pain relationship betrayal even my passive suicidal thoughts My home life with a father who spews rape culture and disrespects every womans boundary I told him everything stuff Id never dared to say out loud before And what did this supposed trauma-informed a## wipe do He completely utterly dismissed it Didnt touch any of the core issues Instead I got gems like You shouldnt carry your parents baggage And get this about my father Your father is just removing his frustration Just listen to it Are you kidding me Then hes asking about my next boyfriend telling me to have a plan B for my career and randomly blurting out You have FOMO Seriously no connection to anything But the absolute worst part I told this a## wipe about my suicidal thoughts my dependence on melatonin just to sleep my body image and binge eating issues He just blew past it all handing me some generic homework like listing goals while I was literally breaking down right in front of him And the unprofessionalism He couldnt even remember the homework hed given me five minutes earlier then gave me something different when I asked He mixed up basic details confusing my father with my mother And he kept himself muted most of the session like he was just waiting for the clock to run out This wasnt therapy this was gaslighting in the name of mental health care I walked out of that session feeling more broken more dismissed and more hopeless than I have in a long time Its not even my first bad experience Ive had therapists tell me to just accept my trauma or shut off emotionally But this a## wipe He made me feel invisible while I was screaming internally for help Please if youre out there dealing with complex trauma do NOT settle for a therapist who makes you feel smaller Price doesnt always mean quality but empathy is non-negotiable Im still trying to find someone ethical and safe who I can actually afford But I needed to get this out there if youve ever been made to feel too much in therapy or like your pain is just a footnote its not your fault Therapy should feel like safety not shame And that guy Hes nothing but an a## wipe
