Couples therapy backfired on us big time

My ex and I went to a therapist 8 months ago. Thought it would help us talk better. Instead the therapist took sides with her from session three. My ex got validated for every complaint she ever had. I walked out feeling like the bad guy every single time. Learned that the therapist matters way more than the process. Made the divorce worse not better. Anyone else get burned by a bad therapist?

Whoa hold on, maybe the therapist wasn't taking sides but just hearing stuff your ex had been saying for years that you didn't want to hear.

Actually you're right, I never saw it that way before but this makes total sense.
