Elana05,
Thanks so much for your kind words. I was able to process what happened with my group, our regular therapist, and my psychiatrist, all of whom were very kind and supportive. My usually mild-mannered psychiatrist actually seemed to get pretty angry on my behalf and said she would talk to some people about it. I also wrote a letter to the program manager... it felt good for me to be able to calmly and reasonably write about what happened, my reaction to it, and why the experience wasn't helpful. Anyway, yesterday was really hard, but I'm emotionally in a better place with it today.
Thanks again for your kindness.
