Okay, here's my problem. Four years ago I was seeing a psychiatrist for recurrent depression. Apparently the psychiatrist was interested in more than therapy because he pursued me outside of the office. We began an intimate relationship, and things quickly went from bad to worse. He told me he was divorced, but he wasn't. It was awful. I finally confided in my therapist who promptly turned him to the state medical board and the district attorney's office. I refused to testify against him because I felt that he had not forced me to do anything against my will. I still feel a tremendous amount of guilt for the fact I did not testify and he is still in a position where he is treating women who are vulnerable (and probably hurting them also).

I moved away, and still have a lot of unresolved issues. My previous therapist had treated people who have been through this situation and knew the things to say (and what not to say). I have tried to find a therapist where I live but I don't trust them. I walked in to one office and the therapist started talking to me about trust, and I never went back. Obviously, after what I've been through I will not be seeing a male therapist, but I have a difficult time even seeing a female therapist. How do I go about finding a therapist who has experience treating people who have been in abusive relationships with previous therapists/physicians?
