I got a bad vibe from what you said about her in the other post. It didn't sound as if she was at all trying to create a supportive therapy environment.
This gives you a chance to find a therapist who is a better match for you.
Still, it s*cks to have someone act that way. It reinforces that you're lucky to be away from her, but I'm sure it feels awful anyway. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
She's not at all typical of therapists and how they react. It is unlikely that your next experience would be anything like this one. No therapist is perfect, but they differ a lot in *how* they are imperfect.
Perhaps this might be helpful to you? It's my favorite post on finding a therapist. Most importantly, don't be afraid to shop around. Your initial therapy sessions are like a date. You aren't committing to therapeutically marrying them. You're just testing the waters.
