I can relate to much of this

I think that any "destructive criticism" from healthcare "professionals" is completely unacceptable. As some are unfortunately corrupt, they may "wait" until the "patient" is "attached" before they reveal who/what they are or perhaps they "wait" until they get "bored" . I can only hope such are in the minority

I'm not sure how to deal with it

Record sessions? Run at any hint of abuse even though there is attachment
