I'd rather be judged by a forum of people, (and maybe learn from it) than end up in front of an actual judge because I decided that anyone telling me things I didn't want to hear about my actions was 'unsupportive.'

People who can't tolerate the word 'no', (no, you can't have an appointment every week, no, you can't contact your ex-therapist, no, people won't always be on your side) do live very painful lives. Life is a lot easier when you can take 'no' for an answer.
While I agree with you that life is a lot easier when you can take 'no' for an answer, OP has asked for support. She is not asking to be taught anything by this forum.

I am quite sure that she knows that a bunch of people here think she should refrain from contacting ex-Pdoc.

Perhaps we should all reread this from the top of each page:

Please keep this in mind while in the psychotherapy forums: A reminder about support and judgment here
Thanks for this!
