Therapists abused me by making me come week after week to talk about the same **** for YEARS ! I always said that if I had just one good friend that would listen and empathize with me I wouldn't ever need a " therapist ". They don't really care about you. Your just another number in their files. Same with psychiatry. They throw all kinds of meds at you hoping that may help you but rarely get at the root cause of your problems. Psychotherapy is going the way of the dinosaurs. It's all about pharmacology and $$$. I love the ones who just take cash like a prostitute. So yes , you can be abused by a therapist and you should talk about it.
