Wow. Stories like that make me want to cling tenaciously to my therapist forever. Bad therapists are truly frightening.
I don't think I could really open up in an observed session though. I wonder if there are any therapists who practice in pairs-- like the movie critic shows where you get 2 simultaneous opinions.
All I can say is good luck with this. And I wouldn't be too quick to say it's your own fault for not getting the help you want. Even if you don't present your needs clearly, therapists are supposed to read people well. Maybe you just haven't met many good ones.
And on a social note-- nice to see you!
