I've just recently opened up to my Pdoc about my abuse in previous therapy. First thing he asked was whether or not the Doctor involved was still registered. He was very relieved to hear he wasn't. He said therapists that prey on patients and groom them for sexual boundary violations were just the worst, definitely a lot of disapproval on his part for what had happened to me (directed at the previous Pdoc, not me, obviously). His reaction made me feel validated, and since then I've been able to open up to him more about trust issues I had with him when we first started out, and how that might still come up from time to time simply because I have a conditioned response to certain things - even though with my current Pdoc those things are perfectly innocent and I know he has 100% ethical and very clearly defined boundaries.
