I'm a year and a half out of a bad therapy relationship and a horrible termination and I still go around and around in my head like this about why it happened and was it my fault and on and on. First of all I didn't go into therapy because I am mentally healthy and able to deal with crap like this. I was hoping/expecting a therapist to be able to help me. To be screwed over like this is one of the worst kinds of trauma a person can go through. It's beyond explanation and description unless you have been through it. A person might need to work though it over and over until it sinks in that it isn't their fault. Yes, it might not be the most healthy way of dealing with it, but, heck, isn't that part of why some of us went into therapy in the first place?

Berating someone who is trying to comprehend and deal with a trauma like this (yes, it IS a trauma) is shameful and not helpful.

This place sometimes just makes me shake my head and yet I keep coming back. Of course, some of you all probably just shake your head at me too.
