Part less, this is an interesting topic. I am sorry that you have had experience with an abusive t. It's insidious and can leave us with huge scars and trust issues but also with good judgements about who to trust. I think if a t is that way inclined they will abuse clients no matter what the setting. I would like to think that working with other ts would lesson the risk but because of confidentiality most ts know nothing about the other ts work or clients.
