I still havent made up my mind. A very mentally sound friend of mine (my best friend, actually) suggested I make an appointment, and that we both see him. Together. Then, calmly, in a cool, even-handed manner, just explain to him that his "treatment" was utterly unproductive--in fact, it was downright harmful. The idea isn't so much to get an apology, I guess...I don't expect one. I think the idea is to show him that "patients" are **PEOPLE**, too--to just tell him what he did, and that now I'm doing fine, thanks...and that I think he is utterly incompetent, and I am going to tell everyone I know this. I'm not seeing anyone yet, but I will, soon; its a very small area, so if I can find a decent therapist who sees whats happened...hopefully that will also help him see that sometimes patients talk back.
I'm still deliberating...I'll just have to see what happens.
