Honestly, its a waste of time to seek help for any serious psychological issues if you are choosing to abuse drugs recreationally.
Im not trying to sound like a dick here but, perhaps you should think about your therapists decision to drop you and what that truely means. Probably that they dont see themselves as having the ability to help you.
Until you are willing to commit to a seriously length of sobriety, I doubt youll find many therapists that are willing work with you in-depth, outside of addressing your drug issues. Even if you do find a decent therapist, it will be near impossible to achieve much of anything if you are still coping with life by abusing drugs and alcohol.
I've already admitted that I have to commit to a "serious length of sobriety", but that I am not willing to say "forever", and while I'll agree that you are PARTIALLY right that it is certainly very hard to address psychological issues while using drugs, I have talked to my mother who is a better psychoanalyst than this guy could ever DREAM of being, and she fully thinks he was in the wrong to drop me and that it is generally a sign that he is not a good therapist.
In the end, my not being willing to say I'd quit all drugs forever wasn't the only reason he dropped me, but because he said "I had too many major issues" and "he is used to only dealing with people who have one major issue at a time", and my mother agreed that that is just ridiculous and really weird, and that most people have more than one major issue, and we agreed that this guys is probably not a very good therapist.
I already just stopped using substances a few days ago, and i don't know how long i can go, but this therapist never even asked me whether or not I'd be "committed to attempting to go a significant amount of time without substances",which if he had asked I would have said "yes, I am willing to give it a shot at going as long as I can, but I will not commit to saying it will be forever or necessarily how long it will be."
That IMO should have been enough, but he didn't even ask that question.
He didn't ask if I'd try to go a while, or a year, or anything, only if I'd commit to FOREVER...which I said I would not.
The fact of the matter is, I have seen therapists before and this was a pathetic, incompetent therapist in comparison to much better ones I have seen, and he was incompetent to help me with my issues and saw himself as ill-equipped, which he was.
I am not sure if I had not had drug problems if he'd have been able to help me either.
I think he'd probably have been willing to give it a shot if I didn't, but I don't think, from the way he acted completely overwhelmed by hearing about all my issues, that he would have ended up being helpful.
He was not a good therapist, not equipped to deal with someone with multiple issues, and "what it truly means" that he was not willing to work with me, is that he's a shitty therapist who was in over his head, realizing that all his years of training would not be enough to help someone with as many issues as me, regardless of what they were, that he didn't take the time to ask me if I'd try to go without drugs for even a little while, to which I'd have said "YES", and that basically, he just felt overwhelmed and didn't want to deal with me, cause he knew deep down he really wasn't all that good.
