SE, I feel for you in this horrible situation. Honestly, though, can you trust the judgement of a mh professional who turns to reddit for advice?


I totally understand your need to stay the course with him, despite these deep wounds to your therapy process. At the same time, I'm not so sure there's any way to come back from therapy with such a tight frame when that frame is obliterated in such a gross manner unless you talk to him about it.

My own therapy is nothing like yours in terms of the frame, but ever since the illusion was shattered, I have not been able to regain any footing. My therapist is holding things back, something changed, but she won't tell me what. If I came across something similar, I would totally take it to her and have it out. Holding this kind of thing in is toxic.


I almost wondered if someone close to you, not your therapist, had written that post, but since it was so long ago, maybe it really was him. That's just so sad and disturbing if it's the case.
