May trigger?
I was also terrified of anyone, psychiatrists, psychologists, councellors - I was abused sexually by a psychologist .....(as a child)
I am fortunate to have a FEMALE psychotherapist now who is absolutely fabulous and is the only oerson in the world to understand me. It took group therapy, a councellor and a couple of male therapists for me to find my brilliant T. It is trial and error to find a T who you connect with, I have to add here I was a young child when I was abused, he was someone my mum was 'seeing', it didn't happen as an adult ... just wanted to make that clear ... but it made me wary. I wish you luck, JudeeB is right though, unfortunately we have to go through this in order to heal. the alternatives are living life in misery right? Good luck honey, I know it's hard but you can do this ... Ophelia xxx
