maybe you just had a bad T or therapy wasn't for you, or the style of therapy, personally i feel if i had been through that it would have coloured my view of therapy, gaslighting? i'm not sure about that, but i wasn't there so i don't know, i do think making assumptions about other members or canvassing all of therapy over a bad experience is not healthy, but i do believe T's are just regular people with a particular degree, they are prone to flaws like the rest of us, if this T has emotionally damaged you, why not file a grievance?
but guys please remember to post with giving and receiving support in mind, we are a support site, if you don't want people opinions to clash with yours, please don't ask people for them, we are all in the same boat here, nobody's perfect everyone has flaws even therapists, it's worth keeping in mind
