I'm not saying the therapist has no right to boundaries, but really, look at everything he brought up during the session. All at once, really? And he expects her to not completely lose it? Does the patient not have a right to be safe, and not to be triggered in such a massive way to make it a traumatic experience? "Just because it hurts" -- It does more than hurt, it threatens to destroy whatever ego one has. There is a difference between being scared and scarred, and I think this therapist crossed the line. He has an obligation to do no harm, and I don'tt see what lost in going through as healthy stress. It would have been a different matter if he hadn't pushed all of her buttons, but he did. He has a responsibility there to 'get' what spot he has put his patient in. It leaves one feeling like, geez, I am so compelled, I HAVE to know if things are okay, it becomes and obsession, caused by everything her t herapist brought up. He should at least have the common decency to help her through it instead of shaming her for not being able to contain what he activated. If you activate this system, and you care about your patient, why wouldn't you want to teach her how do deal with it instead of leaving her on her own"? I don't get it. I really don't. I guess this is my problem.
