That sounds really awful.
I wonder if your therapist may have the names of some gynecologists who have special training in how to examine clients with special emotional needs? I know that some nurses can get sexual assault certification, which means they have undergone special training on how to examine sexual assault victims with special consideration to their emotional needs (along with how to collect evidence). Maybe there is similar training for gynecologists. Not necessarily just for victims of sexual abuse... but for any patient who felt inordinately uncomfortable.
