Yes, I have talked about previous T's a lot in my present therapy. I have talked about some of the bad T's. Current T was angry for me. It was validating. She wasn't mad at me for talking against her profession....she was upset that someone (two someone's) in her profession had treated me that badly.
I have also told her about a previous good T and my grief about having to lose her. I need to talk more about this. I am not done grieving.
I think it is appropriate to discuss bad treatment by previous therapists because the issues that were breached can affect your current therapy. I am particularly working on trust and boundaries in current therapy because of what occurred in previous therapies.
