I spoke to him on the phone. He still doesn't get it. He said he was sorry but I had to actually say 'can you please reassure me that you don't actually think some of the blame lies with me' to get him to say it to me. He took refuge in counsellor psychobabble and kept saying there was great therapeutic benefit in continuing our sessions. FFS. He also said he would never know what it was like to be a woman being raped but that most women wouldn't either. I just went numb at that point. He just doesn't get it.

Speaking out to him like that was very brave and bold of you. It sounds like he is urging you to keep seeing him because he doesnt want to lose a client and the income. I think you have gotten some great healing out of what happened here already. Maybe take a break from therapy, then find a new therapist, or don't go back to therapy at all.
