What a horrible coincidence that 30 of the mental health providers you saw were rapists and "self-gratifiers." (I am assuming you mean self-gratifying to the detriment of the patient rather than in the sense farmergirl mentioned.) I have seen 4 different mental health professionals in my life, and none of them was like that. I have also seen 20 or more different doctors, physical therapists, nurse practitioners, etc. in my life, and again, none were rapists/SGs.

I am sorry for your horrific experience and hope you can find help.
