I've had some very bad experiences with T's. One accused me of ruining his practice. He said that, with me, he had tried and tried and tried to no avail. Maybe he was trying the wrong technique? I don't know. Maybe I'm therapy resistant or just too damaged? His closing remarks were "I give up!" Frankly, I don't think he should have admitted this to me as his emotions and words were hurtful. His therapy did not seem to help, rather, it seemed to sink me deeper into isolation and then his closing then did more damage. It should be noted that while I was seeing this T, I was employed at a job where I was being emotionally abused daily. His take was that I should switch careers (to what we did not discuss in detail and, honestly, he did not seem well versed in that area despite his recommendation) but, in reality, he should have pointed out that I was being abused and that advised how to deal with it rather than merely change my career.

His negative opinion of me was transferred to me and downloaded into my psyche. It was devastating considering the job I had and the continuing abuse from it that I was experiencing daily.

I empathize with you Fuzzy. At least you knew when to quit the T when you could see problems arising. Still, it's an experience that no one who already has issues and is seeking help should go through. I'm glad you are sharing about it and hope it helps.
