Thank you to everyone who responded to my post and for the hugs. That means so much to me.

Hi lostwonder-
I didn't report him initially as I was so depressed I didn't want to live. And, one of my life-long issues has been self-blame. I blamed myself for childhood physical and sexual abuse and I blamed myself for what happened with this therapist. It took time to see things a little clearer than I did at the time. I have since started to gather information, including paper work necessary for reporting therapists. It's been a considerable struggle as I still battle with PTSD and severe depression-and self-blame.

Hi HazelGirl-
Yes, I have discussed what happened with other therapists. With the last therapist I met with I tried to discuss my past therapy experiences as well as the issues from childhood trauma and ten months after we started meeting she suddenly ended the therapy-with no prior indications of a problem. With everything else that happened in therapy, prior to meeting this last one, I have been unable to gather enough courage and trust to meet with a new therapist. I have continued to work on my issues and the PTSD nonstop, by myself, but I haven't been able to get past this hurdle of meeting with a therapist again.

Hi precaryous-
I have tears in my eyes as I type this-you had something similar happen to you as well? How are you doing now? I am so sorry this happened to you and I hope you have the support you deserve. I have been trying to get through all of this on my own and it is very hard. Thank you for telling me about your similar situation with a therapist.

I wish everyone peace and happiness.
Hugs from:
