I’m sorry you had to go through that. I would like to advice that finding the right therapist takes time but don’t give up on finding one.
My last psych laughed at me while I was trying to open up about the trauma and tell him about it in more detail. Some people don’t deserve to be therapists and are probably doing more harm than good to the society. He came as most recommended btw in my city.
Luckily I was able to find a good doctor later.

Did he still get payed?
Because I would laugh at his invoice.
I had a grief therapist start out by telling me the first thing we needed to address was my "pathological belief that my sister and my nephew were still alive somewhere."
Baffled, I was like, "In heaven? My...very mainstream religious belief in an afterlife with God? It's not like I told you I thought they were inhabiting dolls on my mantle or something."
He insisted, so I just stood up and told him I wouldn't be wasting any more of his time, because this was neither the time nor the place to have that argument with me and I left.
At least he had the good sense not to try to charge me for those three minutes.
