I, too, am genuinely sorry that you've been hurt. But I strongly disagree. Three therapists have helped me to change my life--I paid them (my insurance did), but what they gave to me was much more than what was paid to them. Their caring wasn't bounded to 1-2 hours a week, whether or not we had contact outside of sessions. For example, sometimes in session they would tell me that they thought of me when doing x and they came up with an idea to help me with y. So even though I wasn't paying them for their time doing x, they spent their own time thinking about how to help me. I also still keep in touch via email (and even got together once when I was visiting where she lived) with an ex-T - none of this is paid. Their caring is genuine. The reason I share all this is to say that it is possible to find such therapists--they do exist. Over the last decade I've found 3 like this. It wasn't easy, and I had to let them in, but there are wonderful, caring therapists in this world.
