Hi LG--
I'm sorry about your bad experience...unfortunately, it seems like there are so many therapists out there who cannot handle the powerful things that sometimes happen in therapy. And even good ones can make hurtful mistakes--sometimes for fairly long periods of time (mine, case in point). In fact, if you asked me if I'd done the right thing by staying, I don't know if I'd say "yes" unequivocally. All I know is, that is what I did at the time--the only thing I was able to do, really--and it worked.I am glad you found the strength to move on from her.
If my therapist took things I said to her personally, we certainly wouldn't be here!! I've made her cry on multiple occasions. And more than once yelled, "f**ck you!" (to be honest, she DID take that one a little personally :))
