Thanks for your post wishfulthinker-
Im intrigued by interpretation of my post as “ easy to say as an outsider-“no where did I suggest that looking at oneself when feeling retraumatised .was easy-I’m fully aware that therapists are capable of throwing perfectly timed missiles at us if they choose ,that they can be abusive power junkies and that whether we like it or not they can also be human and have perfectly reasonable limits of tolerance of their own
I’m just saying that we have not ,strictly,always suffered a wrong-doing from another even though it definitely feels that way in the present and our history tells us it is definitely that way
Just my thoughts-I wasn’t there and didn’t intend to devalue OP,s situation
