T's are indeed human and they cannot always be perfect. And yes therapy can itself be traumatic, especially poorly handled termination, and this is not trivial. I see my own experience as an indictment of therapy as a whole, as much as a failure of my own T.
Now I am stuck in a catch-22 where subsequent T's have trouble acknowledging the harm done and pile on to my distress by reflexively siding with previous T and invalidating my position and experience. It's almost like there's an "omertà" thing going on. And then I start doubting my own perceptions and reality and start to blame myself.
Yea, a refund would be nice. I'd settle for a direct acknowledgment of the harm done and an apology.
