Hi BlueAngel,
Yes, it happens more often than people realize.
You can post about your experience as you feel ready.
I was exploited by my psychiatrist several years ago. I have had a new therapist for the last three years and she is helping me with it.
Just want you to know, if you have been exploited and/or assaulted by a mental health professional, you are not alone. I have been in contact with dozens of people who have been harmed by therapy.
