I am having completely irrational concerns about running into the woman at the dmv. So much so that I am considering driving out of my area to renew my license rather than go to the office that is only a couple of miles from me and less than 1/2 mile from where the woman lives. I would ignore her of course and I really doubt if I would recognize her, but part of me still wants to try to get to her understand how badly I think she effed up and what a total wreck of a therapist she really was. I laugh when I read how clients (according to surveys) say they lie about being better because they don't want to hurt the therapist.
I never, ever considered lying to make the woman feel better about herself. I didn't lie that I can recall, but I certainly didn't want the woman feeling better about herself and how she did therapy. If anything, I wanted her to acknowledge how completely useless and ****ed up she was.
