My impressions? (straight shooting here from my personal gut reactions):
1. He is more than a little arrogant ("I expected this to happen")!
2. His judgment about expressing his opinion about the ethics of the previous therapist is highly questionable and confronting you with the question about your part in the relationship with the previous therapist is just plain hostile and I can't see what therapeutic purpose it could possibly have served!
3. He sounds, um, well...sleazy.
4. He is not the right therapist for you. Even if he isn't sleazy or unethical or anything, I can't see how you are going to feel safe with him given his approach.
5. He sounds like one of those hostile therapists that make you really uncomfortable and then make you feel like you are a total loser if you want to quit working with them.
6. My gut says, "RUN, Don't walk!" away and find a better therapist for you.
But, these are my personal gut reactions. Like I said to Eggy, it's hard to judge from afar.
