I attempted many times to "get it out in the open," which made the situation infinitely more damaging. My co-therapists needed to be infallible, so they ascribed my hurt and regression to my "transference." I've spent the time since trying to understand their training and irrational thinking.

I don't see the client responsible for educating or gratifying a narcissistic, needy or delusional therapist. I believe sometimes the wisest, most "therapeutic" client response is to make a quick, clean exit.
