There's bad therapists, bad doctors, bad lawyers, bad work supervisor, bad teachers....and the reason we feel blindsided when we encounter these bad people, is because over time they have learned to disguise themselves as healthy sources of support and resources.

I have some stories of bad therapists and bad teachers, even professors. Bad doctors too. I think we all have those stories. The hard part for us all, is how to process that horrible encounter so that we don't let it become a stereotype we put on everyone else in that profession. One bad apple does not mean the entire bunch is bad.

So, take comfort knowing that we've all been there.
