You trusted that therapist. But he/she does have many patients other than you. I'm sorry you felt like an ***, you shouldn't. Just remember that they are bound to keep what they know about you in trust and not shared with others.

When getting into a group therapy situation that is more difficult. I actually had the opposite of what you are describing happen to me. Instead of me talking about her, she talked about me, at least 4 times. She kept saying "such a lovely person once reminded me that I must be on time"..... IT was ONCE that I was frustrated with waiting, I had to wait many times past our appointment times, and I just said, something like "you know, it's hard to wait 10 or 15 minutes past our time that is scheduled".. I guess I affected her deeply by reminding her that time is important to a patient. Although she was much too caring, and often disrupted the group for lengthy periods of time talking about her own mental illness. She needed attention herself.

I don't know what else to say. When you get that close to a therapist/counselor, things get complicated. Your feelings were triggered by feeling as though you were ignored. I hope you manage to work it out with this person.
