When my therapists turned vicious bullies in front of the 10-member group therapy, I needed to realize the therapists were not magically enlightened or mythologically omnipotent human beings. But what would have been useful for me is an infraction here.

I apologize; my intention wasn't to diminish your post in any way. I was simply trying to say that my experience is so different than yours that it felt like you were simply trying to be pejorative toward therapy in general.
You're right that it isn't helpful to idealize therapists. They're human just like we are. And I still believe my now former therapist is a very good human being who wanted to be helpful to me in navigating through a ridiculous amount of childhood trauma. I'm just not sure where it all went wrong. Again, I'm sorry if I made you feel as though I was putting you down in any way.
