I'm sorry to hear that your rTMS technician makes you feel judged. Whether it's projection or the real thing, it's a lousy feeling.

A couple Babblers who did rTMS didn't respond until about the 20th session. Some responded much earlier and some never responded. Since your psychiatrist seems to be open to trying anything, if and when you decide to treat the right side, rTMS appears to be significantly more effective if priming stimulation is used. This means a brief exposure to 6 hertz, followed by a much longer exposure to 1 or 2 hertz. Here's an article about it:
