I can relate to your anger. I wanted to confront a bad therapist I had, but as it has been pointed out to me, she would just say "poor thing, she's still not well, still perseverating about all this". I don't want to give her any ammunition.
The destructive therapy I had at her hands makes me feel impotent, in that I can't express it to her. But bad doctors aren't going to care (unless you sue) and good doctors realize they made a mistake, wish they could've done it differently, but it's just too late to do anything about it.
I'd ask myself, what do you hope to accomplish, what do want to get out of it of confronting him? Really, really. B/c I have also found that confronting someone isn't necessarily cathartic, it doesn't heal the pain or take away the anger. Are you in therapy now, talking to a good therapist can help. But living a happy life is the best revenge.
