Schizotypal Disorder Resources & Support Forum

I had another quick stay in the psychiatry end of august/start of september for crisis intervention and after four weeks i was able to go/ sent home. They couldn't say much about me but they said it was very hard, almost impossible to do any therapy with me because i was too intelloigent. I would instantly know what their therapy strategy would be and know ahead of things wether i would wanna follow or not and if not i would always succeed in making them do thing s my way.

I didn't realize at all what I was doing and was very surprised to hear that. Of course i knew what my therapist was thinking when i was there but i was just observing and trying to get the conversation to move on once she was stuck and we were getting off topic.

Does anyone have similar experiences??? I am a bit confused...

I once heard of someone else who were told they were "too intelligent for therapy". That's bullshit in my mind.

It might be that your therapist isn't smart enough to provide you with proper therapy, but there will be other therapists who can. I imagine hearing this from your therapist is a major compliment, but it doesn't help you much, does it? It might be that it's harder to work with someone who's intelligent (obviously), but it can't be impossible.

I think you should contact other therapists and see if you can find someone you like and who's willing to work with you.

All the best,
