I don't think those are therapists you've been seeing...

No, I've had similar experiences. If your experiences/perspectives are considerably outside the norm, many "shrinks" - who likely are among "the norm" - just don't get it. Never mind there's always some who are just there for the money - my mother was quite happy with hers because he told her what she wanted to hear, which ultimately caused more harm than good.

EDIT: Political/religious leanings also often play into how things go.

Absolutely this, I had one assigned therapist/* who really turned my life around and it was all because she'd been through the meat grinder when she was younger too.
