Especially given the concern in the OP... that you express so many negative feelings about this industry, many systemic ones, but you still attach to one of the providers. What benefit do you get from it, or expect to get from it, that might override all of your difficulties?

Without understanding it, I can only suggest not to go to therapy as "coping with it".
I have never said ALL therapists are bad.

I have had excellent therapy prior to the negative experiences, but unfortunately people seem to think it has to be one or the other. I recommend reading more of my posts, not just the blatantly negative ones.

I haven't lost all faith in humanity, that includes therapists.

I still have unresolved complex ptsd that I want to heal. Should I give up?

I still attach because I yearn for a safe trusting connection. While trauma in therapy has damaged my attachment system even more - it has also exacerbated the intensity of my desire to find someone to trust.

Some therapists acknowledge the systemic abuses.

Some therapists are ethical.

Some therapists understand complex ptsd.

Some therapists know what clients need.

Thanks,
