I have thought this so many times about how my therapist handled things last year. My new therapist was so disgusted SHE wanted to file a complaint. Funny how these same people who tell us we can't accept this kind of treatment from others are just fine doling it out to us.

I have had endings that would have been good, except it wasn't me who made the choice to end (public sector), and I was still really vulerable and in pain, and terrified to be alone, so they ended up hurting really badly. But this one in particular never tried to shane me or blame me, but did (unintentionally) hurt me by pulling sway my support in the middle of a really bad time.

Oddly, the best ending I ever had, came from a recent therapist who told me it was her responsibility to insist that I be referred up because I wasn't safe in weekly therapy and needed something more intensive. It was hard and hurt, but I do know I was in danger and I did need more support. She also spoke to me more kindly and gently than any therapist I've ever had.
