I felt like I had betrayed his confidence, also. Just keep reminding yourself that you didn't go into therapy to have to keep more secrets. He shouldn't have put you in that position.

It has been incredibly difficult, and unnatural, to cut someone completely out of my life. I've never had to do that before, but in this case it was necessary.

You don't have to walk this path alone. There are some therapists out there who understand it and can help you with it.
