Yes!
In my previous post I was asking, in part, ...where are the articles..where are the therapists who specialize in ‘therapist exploitation’ these days ? —>
when I realized just now-
We shouldn’t NEED them!
I had thoughts similar to yours that once we have been exploited by a therapist, who can we work THAT out with?? We should trust another T?!
As I’ve mentioned before, I was
very careful and nervous when I looked for a subsequent therapist while I was
still enmeshed with the abusive Pdoc. It took me
fifteen years to consider trying to find a new T in my state after my move from West coast.
koru kiwi, I’m glad to hear you have your spouse’s support ( and PC) and do not have to deal with the hurts and disappointments by yourself.
