i'm curious, protoform. do you think there's a possibility that because of you being a loner that you didn't have the skills to deal with your therapist's interaction with you? i.e., is it possible that she would have acted this way with many (all) of her other clients, but because some of them are more social beings that they didn't feel attracted to her? that they just saw her as a therapist, doing her job?

i'm curious as to how your therapist could have acted differently towards you. how you would have preferred for her to behave instead. listened less? not smiled? avoided eye contact? these are just ideas... i'm genuinely curious as to what sort of interaction you would have preferred. and also whether your ideal interaction would have been the right environment for addressing the other issues you keep alluding to.

i for one wouldnt have any problem putting in "possible transference/countertransference" into a disclosure statement, but i don't think it would actually achieve very much at all in terms of preventing possible suffering. i am sorry that you are angry and hurt though.
Thanks for this!
