uhg - i'm sad that you went through that. it wasn't fair to you. you cant go back and change what happened, no. But a therapist can help you reexperience, reframe, see patterns, mourn for what you didn't have, accept parts of it as being awful and then, gently and with empathy help you heal. it can be a long, painful process. i'm in the midst of it now. this time i'm not entirely alone in it. maybe you can explore a different type of therapist. seems like a life coach would not get the the root of the hard issues...
