I don’t want T to think I’m slagging the profession off etc.
So I’m just wondering what others experiences are of talking about past relationships with exT’s who feel they have been harmed in some way, to a new T.
I’m just looking for some guidance/advice.
I feel a bit stuck with this situation.
Thanks [emoji4]

Hi itjustis, I don't really post much but I really wanted to reply to this. I have very recently told my t about my previous therapist. At first it was kind of just a casual question as I wasn't really sure if it was inappropriate. I also worried that she'd defend her colleague and worry about me making complaints about her. She took it very seriously and it's really helped me to realise his behaviour was inappropriate. I've also decided to report him.
I think she took it even more seriously precisely because he is a therapist and should know better. He's also still practicing so there's the concerns about other clients.
I hope you are able to bring this up with your therapist.
Feel free to pm me and I'm happy to talk in more detail about it.
