Fair question. I would also add--who could possibly need support more than such a person?

The author (a psychologist) of an xlnt book on harmful therapy ruptures says it's not uncommon for clients to feel a sense of "murderous rage" after a rupture (not to mention grief, shame, hopelessness, betrayal). Given that the client might now be without a therapist, has been left alone with the rage etc, and may well have no other outlet… maybe some of the angry or critical posts here begin to seem entirely reasonable.
Thanks for this!
