My experience with a destructive therapist resonated for a long time, and it was quite a project distancing from the pain and shutting off my compulsion to right the situation.

My larger project has been to unravel the outlook the therapy implanted in me--to see myself like damaged pottery, pieces shattered on the floor. I'm working hard to discard this mindset, this idea that an unfairness atop my family experience, leaves me irreparably damaged. I have traits. Maybe I'm unlike many in the mainstream, but all my characteristics and experiences can be a positive as easily as a negative.. I'm not ceramic, but plastic. It's all experience to tuck away and eventually use.

Bad therapy IS crazy-making. This person has billed himself as a professional, a fixer, and then he adds to problems rather than alleviates them. I felt extremely isolated and I never got any professional to understand.

If it's compensation, you're in a boat with some very cool, thoughtful people who have dealt with this. I HIGHLY recommend these folks both for their online resources and contacting them for discussion.
