Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was so bent out of shape. It took a ton out of me to even BE there, much less try to process all that was going on. Fortunately, I received an email from the therapist yesterday...she said she appreciated the feedback I gave her and she is now reconsidering when she will allow people to start. She was even forthright about saying the previous week (before I got there) a new girl entered the group and was refusing to come back because she felt like she didn't belong.

Though I am frusterated that this happened, I feel super relieved that she is honest enough with herself to be able to confront criticism and learn from it. I have to give her props for that; I think I would be in a corner rocking trying to figure out why I was such a screw-up.

So, I have it on my calendar for Tuesday, I am going to do my best to let this weeks incident go. I will try to look at her with compassionate eyes and see that she really is trying her best?? If it is not effective for me after this session, I will thank her for her time and we will part ways. That way I honor myself, too.

Its so weird, but when I here what other people go through, its like I can gain objective clarity about possible solutions. When its me and my life, I become a big lump of I-don't-know-what-to-do. So thanks for the help everyone : )

Side note...I may need a xanax just to GO to therapy next week, lol.
