Yes, I've experienced emotional abuse in my first and my third therapies. The first experience was the worst. This, in fact, is the whole reason I created my website (the address is in the signature section of my profile).
The best book for those who've been emotionally abused by a therapist is "Falling for Therapy" by Anna Sands. There are some other books but they have more to do with emotional and sexual seduction by a therapist.
When I talked to TELL I realized that they were more knowledgeable about the dynamics of sexual abuse in therapy since most their volunteers are the survivors of such abuse. When it comes to purely emotional abuse, I didn't feel they understood its dynamics really well.
You are welcome to PM me if you want to talk more. I am sorry you've been through this. Unfortunately, it's the experience of many people.
