    Im not trying to call you out in any way here but it’s genuinely hard for me to understand how “hit rock bottom” and “shopped around and found the best therapist I could” are not mutually exclusive things.

    Please don’t take this the wrong way. But when I think “rock bottom” it’s not a situation that leads to seeking help on your own let alone having the capacity to investigate multiple potential solutions.

    I guess maybe everyone has a different rock bottom?

      I meant the term more as an expression, which would denote one’s personal lowest point, not necessarily how low a human being can possibly get. It might be possible to have a collectively agreed upon level of “true rock bottom,” but at a certain point I think it gets obfuscated - different circumstances and contexts might be perceived as worse or more challenging by others.
