Regardless of what may or may not have happened, who may or may not be at fault, you are in pain, and you are entitled to your feelings. If you are not in therapy now, I recommend seeing someone else and trusting that the experience you had with your former therapist will not necessarily be like the rest.
Also, if you do truly believe your therapist harmed you, I recommend filing a complaint with the licensing board and/or seeing an attorney to pursue malpractice against her. And even if you do not win a suit or the licensing board dismisses your complaint, it doesn't mean that what you feel is wrong or that your therapist could not have done a better job.
Good luck, Proto.

I would love to file a lawsuit but I would probably be dismissed as a lunatic. My words would be taken out of context and the defense would be "this guy thinks the therapist is a criminal because SHE MADE HIM feel attracted to her". Well, obviously she did not make me feel attracted to her, since the last time I checked no human being is capable of controlling someone else's brain, but she behaved in a manner that made it nearly impossible for me to not feel attracted to her. Ultimately I failed to suppress my feelings and I endured a lot of pain. So why is it that I think it's her fault? Because she did not handle my case more carefully. Maybe you are right. Maybe I should file a lawsuit against her if only for the pleasure of reminding her that I am discontent with the way she treated me. I still think, however, that the lawsuit should go against the APA, for not setting forth proper guidelines on how a therapist is supposed to treat a vulnerable client AND for not warning people of the unnecessary pain they might endure during therapy.
