I also think hardly anyone goes into therapy knowing what they're "supposed" to know. I sure didn't. Which is one reason to discuss therapy - including the horror stories and urging skepticism - on a public forum like this.
But if I understand what are you saying, you did not feel you had the power to leave. May I ask why not? How was what seems a very basic power removed? Did the therapist convince you explicitly or implicitly that you couldn't leave without becoming worse, etc.?

I never really thought about leaving. He ALWAYS said he would be there with me through the healing process. I trusted that and then he told me out of the blue not to come back unless i would bring my husband which was something (a boundary i had) he knew I would never do. He refused to see me anymore to even talk about it. He called me the day before my session. That was power he had to refuse to see me. It really damaged me.
