I'm with you on the BS of it all!!!! I think after looking back on 11 years with my T, I came out just as damaged as when I started. The only thing I got out of it was hurt, frustration, confusion, dependence on something false and unavailable, pretty sure one sided love for the most part, lost my power-gave it to her for years and thousands of dollars wasted on a huge mind f*&?ing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't do therapy again if I was paid to do it! Can you tell how bitter about the whole process I am?
Everyone can have their opinion, and this is only mine! After feeling I could never let my T go, I haven't seen her for 4 months! It has given me time to see how much I did not need her. I think at best it was "rent a friend"!!!! Only with huge boundaries!!! Just to protect the T while they mess with our hearts and minds.
Sorry for being negative, I never in a million years saw the ending that I got! I thought I trusted her more than anyone in my whole life, I'm so sorry for all the hurt and pain I suffered by staying in therapy! I regret it as much as I do anything I've ever done in my life ;o(
I feel for you. I wish you peace with your decision. Please think of your needs most of all, not your T's needs. We feel responsible for how we make them feel but we aren't. That is their stuff to bare.
