I have been hurt BAD in therapy, but I have also taken something away from it every time. Ultimately I think the therapeutic relationship can rewire the brain through a safe, secure attachment to a competent and ethical therapist. I believe this is a delicate matter and I ALSO believe it can be ended prematurely and if so, can be damaging. I have had this experience and it has hurt me BAD and re-traumatized me.
I hope to find a therapist to safely attach who can remain my therapist for as long as it takes to heal...

I hope you can find one, also. So, you have had more than one bad experience? I'm sorry, Even one is bad enough. This is my opinion, but looking for a therapist with alot of experience would be a good idea. My current T has over 35 years of experience. (although my previous T from which I was terminated had about 30 years). He also works with the most complex patients, D.I.D., and he understands me both intellectually and emotionally. I keep thinking that it would be nice for all of us to make a checklist for people looking for therapists. I agree with you that good therapy can rewire the brain. For me, it has taken having a generally nonreactive (not reacting negatively) T, who is mostly consistently kind, empathic, knowledgeable and so forth. He responds the same way to each of my texts. He told me he is not triggered by me. Let us know how your search goes!
