Wow, I’m so sorry that happened to you. talk about re traumatizing someone. How could a therapist think that a client would benefit in any way from making them regret opening up and being more vulnerable? I thought do no harm is the most important thing to live by as a therapist. This is what scares me about therapy, I don’t like feeling like someone else has any power over me, hence one of the reasons I’m in therapy, when I let someone in, let someone really see me, then they have some power over me, and that is so hard. Vulnerability is my nemesis at this point. I hope that you have found a new therapist who is empathic, compassionate, experienced and way more skilled and equipped to work with people who have suffered trauma. No one deserves for a therapist to emotionally abandon them. It’s funny because when you look on Quora, there are so many therapists who sound like they embrace attachment and transference and they encourage all clients to open up about their feelings about their therapists, and that it will strengthen the alliance, but clearly that’s not always the case. I wish some of those therapists lived by me! I have actually looked some of them up, but they are all in other states lol!
