In many ways, yes.

Therapy ‘gone wrong’ is one of the worst things I’ve experienced in my lifetime. I was in pain throughout most of my time in therapy with overwhelming feelings of insignificance, dependency, loneliness and longing. I terminated on my on will but had to hit severe deterioration before I was sufficiently motivated. There WAS no choice.

The initial drop was horrific. From there, it was a long crawl out of a hole. Improvement hasn’t been linear, but I have gotten to a place where I can say I am better without my therapist than I was with her.

I still deal with trauma around the many years of feeling awful under a therapist, but it has changed from devastation to anger. Mornings are worst. I’m figuring once I’m angry long enough, I’ll eventually feel at least as good as before therapy. Then figure out what to do next.

Best wishes for fast healing. You are in good company :/
