Some of you are maybe tired of hearing how a certain T said how I was "unendearing", how he felt callous towards me etc.

Someone NOT on PC, who wasn't a T clarified this in a sense...

Apparently, I was "scared and suspicious" or "aggressive and sullen"

Not completely wrong, in that situation

Isn't there a black hole where people like fuzzy bear eventually disappear? It feels like I'm right there

Well... personally the Skeezyks feels like, if that is the best a therapist can come up with... then s/he should just keep it to her / himself... or, perhaps, better yet find a new profession! As Pema Chödrön has written... criticism without compassion can be just mean...

What a awful thing for a therapist to say. Fortunately for us fuzzy bears don't disappear. ❤️

Talking to myself: Then why didn't he use any of those other words to describe you?

Ts can harm.

The hole you describe is actually the definition of Ts like this - an a**hole

Fuzzybear is too special and important to disappear

Well, if one goes to a Therapist is not because one is cheerful and happy. Therapists are supposed to know how to deal with all kind of human reactions so the individual that tried to justify your former T was wrong. I understand that Ts are human beings and can have bad days but they need to have self control and watch the way they talk to their clients. Respect and consideration are of utmost importance. And Ts do not need to like their clients. They have to be able to work with people they dislike. And if Ts feel rejection towards a particular client, they need to send the client with other Ts. Good Ts are not easily found.

Therapists are like people in a position of power. When you challenge this power they get defensive. When you challenge them in any way it is considered by them as aggressive behavior. To me it is smart. Hercule does not like it when anyone 'lords' it over him. Hercule will question anyone who lacks reason and common sense and tries to exert their power.

As far as being scared, suspicious and sullen. You are most assuredly not alone.

I do not think that you talk too much about this issue. I think it is never enough. I had a very bad experience with a T when I was 17. I just had gotten my disability and the rehab center sent me to this T. Her work needed to be the following: to give me the tools to overcome such a change in my life. Instead of that she chose to implement lacannian psychoanalysis and made me go to early childhood and shake my foundation, bringing to the present old traumas and issues. What kind of idiot does that? I almost entered a catatonic status. Each time I remember this it hurts

Yes he too focused much on early childhood (but the "milk" was sour )

Then there was a sudden turnaround - I won't even go into that

Has anyone else been described as 'An interesting subject' by a Psychologist?

Yes, Fuzzybear, he was the really bad one

I thought the rule for doctors was "First, do not harm" not "First, be an ***"

Anyway judging from the love and support of the people here who have known you LONGER and DEEPER than that T, I'd say he is outvoted.

And I'll add my name to that list of those who say you can't disappear because we need Fuzzy here.
