I know, you do not want to hear me any more about wounded therapists. I guess I had one, and did not know that such things existed, and was almost destroyed. It still affects me.

I think this man's colleagues basically defended him (not me), not wanting to admit that such a thing was possible, not wanting to deal with it. Such things do happen. Not all in "authority" are secure enough to know how to deal with difficulties of this kind, since that is not a skill much practiced in this society. That's my take on it, anyway.

Pachy, I can identify with your pain in a different context though.
it didn't happen to me in a therapist setting...when people don't want to admit to the mistakes they have made. and you are right, not all authority is secure enough to know about difficulties... think about how different governments are run! I haven't seen peace on this earth yet, let me know if you have though! lol. seriously. its hard...but, every person, no matter if they are a therapist, a teacher, a social worker, a parent, a doctor... ever person is fragmented and flawed,... our hope is that we connect with people who are less flawed than others so that we don't end up as wounded in the process... what happened to you was wrong but, just like there is good and evil out there in the world... if you experienced something so bad, you've got to know something better is out there too...life is a combination of opposites, love and hate, suffering and joy...just like people, have hope that maybe you just haven't found that opposite yet! good luck to you!
