Six bloody years I worked with him, twice a bloody week! I poured my heart and soul into that relationship, working hard and never missing one appointment. I trusted him. I trusted him when he promised over and over again to never abruptly bail out on me. I trusted him when he said he knew that would undo most of the work we had done, I trusted him when he said he would make sure the ending was gradually and would not suddenly drop me. I trusted him. I believed his promises to me. Promises that are on record, as I record all sessions. And he decides to do what will hurt me the most...
I am brought to my knees by the cruelty of this. And please don't tell me this man did not mean to be cruel. He did. He knows the impact of these things on me. He listened to me sob and explain the anguish of it year in and year out. He knows how this will wound me. And he still did it in the most cruel way. He could have mitigated it. In so many ways. but he choose not to. He CHOOSE not to.

you are correct maria and express it so well...
personally,i believe this is probably one of the cruelest things a T could ever do to a client...taking the clients darkest and deepest fear, promising and reassuring that client over and over to never trespass on that fear, knowing very damn well all along how re-traumatising it will be for the client if it were to pass; while in the end as the T comes to reveal their hypocrisy and true colours all that remains for the client is a complete annihilation of the trust they had tirelessly formed though countless hours of grueling and painful therapy work all in the name of the so called 'therapeutic relationship'.
it boggles me how some Ts think that this is perfectly ok to do in the end...

not sure how your ex-T can sleep at night, let alone look at himself in the mirror each day after doing this.
