wow, that really sounds awful Erica212. I am not sure how I would have handled that one... I once had a T tell me in the first 5 minutes of meeting her that she thought I should be locked up for life because of my history (which at that point was over 3 years old), and she had no reason to trust me. She said that if I had gone there by myself (and not had my wife waiting in the lobby) she would have had me committed on the spot. It took everyhting I had to not run out of there crying (I wanted to get out of the building before I burst into tears so she wouldn't change her mind about letting me leave)...
There are some therapists out there who should not be in the field, but I have also had a lot of really wonderful ones. I hope you can find someone good to balance out that bad experience.
