I'm glad you stood up for yourself. For a therapist that can't remember his clients name, that's just pathetic.

My mom always tells me about a story of a therapist who told her something similar years ago, after she walked out of an abusive marriage. My mom lived a horrible childhood and the therapist basically told her "other people have it worse, get over it, that was decades ago". She was devastated and never spoke honestly with her again. And stopped soon after.

The fact is, yes other people DO have it worse. They always will. I am not naive to that fact, and I doubt that you truly are either. However that is merely not the point at all. The point is, is that stuff that formed who you are today has affected you in a negative way and it needs to be taken seriously. If his goal was to make you retreat from a "victimization" role. He was unsuccessful. You can't force people out of there. It's a process, that requires therapy, unlike what he seems to be giving you. Unfortunately what he didn't realize is that people who are stuck in a victim mentality don't fight for themselves. They don't get up and leave therapy sessions when justice isn't served. They sit there and take stuff they don't deserve. So kudos to you
