Sorry to bump this thread from whichever page it's ended up on but I just wanted to update quickly and say thanks for the hugs and support.
I'm feeling both supported and pretty gobsmacked at the number of people who've had equally negative experiences with therapists not accepting their anger. From my own experience I think it's a major failing in therapy generally, understandable but not ok in terms of healing from emotional problems.
I'm feeling half way ok right now because I've lined up an appointment with a new psychologist tomorrow. He may not be able to help me but while I have hope I feel human again hence reading PC in the interim. Hope to catch up with a few threads while I'm feeling slightly better.
Learning I'll send you a PM, if that's ok, rather than carry on on this thread.
I'm also considering starting a thread about anger in therapy, but that all depends on how tomorrow's meeting goes. I'm still really struggling big time and am not holding my breath that I'm going to suddenly find a T who can do what umpteen others before him haven't managed to do.
