Yes, I did say that...I felt "female" for being "foolish" enought to trust my instincts when reason said that T's should be safe...but T said that even T's can be unsafe or poorly equipped. That was hard for me to accept and kind of shook my world. And yes, I felt something like anger coming from him that scared me. Unfortunately, I will never know for sure, but I can live with that for now. Ya'll told me to trust my instincts which yes are a "more" predominantly female trait and I'm glad that mine were so strong and led me away from him... Most of all, I'm glad that I have a T that was willing to listen and validate those feelings and in the end agree that there was something off and that I was in an unsafe place for me.
Hugs to each and every one of you that helped me make this very difficult decision to leave a T and listen to those those niggling, hair on the back of my neck raising feelings and protect myself whether they were valid or not...

Yeah, it's really difficult. Especially when we take someone at their word, and really start to trust that yes, they have made a commitment to be a healer of some sort. It rocked my world to discover that this is not always the case, probably because I was ready to invest this person with all kinds of healing power.
but what if, let's just say, that the power to heal is more in our own hands? what, then, if we had that power, like a switch that we have yet learned to really turn on? What if we found therapists who could help us access that, and then we would have something to really take away from our these healing journeys. Then, we would reach a destination from which we could help ourselves as we help each other.
