She said I would have to rebook an appointment before the withdrawal cut off day, that I would have to fill out an assessment of my mental status (like scales of 1 - 5 of a broad range of symptoms).

The she said this.... That she believes what I am experiencing is PTSD (which is true). BUT - that she believes my initial trauma in therapy was valid, but each subsequent experience after is a product of hypervigilance rather than fact.

I was absolutely floored.

For one - I haven't shared my trauma with my therapist. She hasn't allowed me to share nor shown any indication that she wants to know.

Two - how can someone base this assumption on a trauma she knows little about?

Three - she wasn't there. How could she know if this was merely hypervigilance?

This is an example of horrible and ineffective therapy. It is sanism and mentalism, victim blaming and shaming and now I am genuinely afraid what she will write if I do require a medical withdrawal.

In addition, she said that it is my fault that therapy is not moving forward - because my past trauma is getting in the way of treatment.

I have no words other than, "No, no, no,no!
