I had no proper closure, and was left totally adrift and unsupported, whilst feeling like I'd done something wrong. So different situation, but I totally get how betrayed and devastated you may feel.

If you have the opportunity to talk it through with him, I'd think that is probably the best option. But it sounds as though he for whatever reason, isn't prepared to own his own stuff. So you may need to make the hard decision yourself as to whether it's worth the potential harm to you, to continue working with him.

I hope you can get this figured out for your own peace of mind.

East17, that is appalling

Why can't some of them own their own stuff. Why do they make US feel like we've done something wrong. Why do they lie. Why do they twist our words. Why do they suddenly become angry, out of nowhere. I've had T's who have done all of these things.

I also get how betrayed and devastated a long term therapist who behaves in awful, rejecting ways for no logical reason makes us feel.

I think it would probably be harmful for you to continue to work with him. If he can't own his own stuff. (I've been there
