Yes. My therapist has said and done quite a few very hurtful things to me in this past year and I think it's very unfair. I'm the only client that has stuck with him since the beginning of his career and I'm as fair to him as I possibly can. It is only now that I'm a practicing therapist myself that I fully grasp just how important the things I do are. I feel unappreciated and when I feel really hurt by him I wonder what would happen if I didn't show up for next session or answer the phone if he calls to ask about it. I'd still see him as my colleague, but I'd definitely miss him as my therapist, and I know that this isn't a solution. Though I wonder whether if I ghosted him he would finally hear me like he doesn't now that I conscientiously go to every session and really work with him.
