I must admit that really helped me when he told me all that. He even suggested that I pin his picture on a dart board and throw darts at it. I did that for awhile.
I'm sure they were both very angry with him for what he put you through.

I’m glad your Pdoc gave you validation, empathy and real life feedback when you showed Pdoc the abusive therapist’s picture. It sounds like your PDoc was very supportive and helpful. I’m happy Pdoc shared his opinions and experiences with you.
It seems very important to me that T and PrevT have a look at the exploitative Pdoc in my case. I can’t exactly verbalize why it is important to me. Part of it has something to do with receiving validation. They have known his name all this time, now they’ve seen the face of the enemy that I am still emotionally and psychologically fighting. And it helps me not feel alone in the trauma or the fight.
It helps me feel supported.
Did it help you in some of these ways, too?
