Good points here Mona , thanks. I had a chat with a friend this morning , and I've ended up with " retraumatization by proxy " because my T gave away his power to his supervisor. I don't really feel safe and I have considered termination. I'm now experiencing physical flashbacks , my lower back has given out ( not being supported ho ho ) and I'm not safe to drive at the moment. I'm going back on Wednesday ( unless I change my mind in the interim ) but I will never consult another therapist after this. They should realise people are unique individuals who don't fit their textbooks and theories. T recovered in session and said " people aren't in your brain to know what causes trauma ". Right. And his supervisor needs to get that as well.
